This book provides new insights into contemporary betting shops. Adopting an interactionist approach, it examines the process of ‘blame-shifting’ as collective attempt to repair self-esteem in the wake of financial losses and considers the role of announcements made in betting shops in creating an atmosphere of inclusion.
