Since the legalisation of off-course cash betting in 1960, and the
rise of varying forms of gambling, the British have come to be
known as a nation of gamblers. Until this study was published in
1976, barely any evidence existed against which to assess the claim
that gambling has become a major social problem. The authors
present data drawn from area surveys carried out in Swansea,
Sheffield, Wanstead and Woodford, and explore how well previous
sociological theories of gambling agree with their findings,
particular in connection with certain aspects of work and leisure.
Examining different forms of gambling, including betting, bingo and
slot machines, the chapters consider how gambling choices vary
between different social groups, and how much time and money is
spent on them. With the internet making it easier than ever before
top place bets, this title is especially relevant, and provides a
systematic basis for an explanation of gambling in relation to
social structure.
