The Long Odds: A History of Betting

by Dr. Evelyn Marsh

$16.99

Dr. Marsh, an economic historian, traces betting from dice games in antiquity through the coffeehouse bookmakers of 18th-century London to the licensed sportsbooks of today, focusing throughout on how each era's laws and social attitudes shaped what forms of wagering were tolerated. Framed entirely as social and legal history — this is not a betting guide.
