Description de l’éditeur
Buying a lottery ticket or having a 'flutter' at the races is considered harmless by most people in the UK. But when does social gambling become problem gambling? Some frequent gamblers become dependent on the sensations they experience while betting in a similar way to those who abuse substances. This book examines social gambling trends, and also looks at the effects of compulsive gambling, how it can begin and how it can best be tackled. The information comes from a wide range of sources and includes government reports and statistics, newspaper articles, features, magazine articles and surveys, literature from lobby groups and charitable organisations.
