My friends and I were playing a trivia game, and the last question was “Did horse racing and gambling help or hurt the economy during the Great Depression? Support your stance.” and we all had different answers, so in order to see who’s was right, I would like some assistance(: Thank you!!

Answer by Sumanitu Taka
I think not only because there were so few that could actually participate in Horse Racing, betting, etc.
The majority of the populace were more concerned with finding jobs, and feeding their families that they didn’t have that luxury to bet on horse racing.

Answer by ajec
You’ll have a hard time finding an answer to that one. These casinos aren’t real fond of telling the world how much money they rake in, nor how they compare to one another. Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance!

Gambling is illegal, yet you can bet on horses and play lotto which is a form of gambling. You can’t make something illegal and go pick a few things from it to legalize. It sets a poor example and mixed messages.

Answer by Mark
Since when is gambling illegal?

The 1960 Act legalised off-course bookmakers. Pool betting on horses is a monopoly of the state owned Tote.

There is a large market in the United Kingdom for gambling and betting on competitive sports at bookmakers, particularly for horse racing, greyhound racing and association football. The latter also has an associated form of gambling known as the football pools, in which players win by correctly predicting the outcome of each weeks matches.

Sports betting is defined by the Gambling Act 2005 as the making or accepting of a bet on the outcome of a horse race, competition or other event or process. The likelihood of anything occurring or not occurring, or whether anything is or is not true.

Pool betting can be conducted remotely or no-remotely. Remote pool betting is conducted, for example, via an internet betting site run by one of the football pools operators. Non-remote pool betting in the UK is conducted in person (for example, the Tote, which accepts pool bets on tracks and in high street sports betting shops).

Sports betting intermediaries bring two or more parties together, but do not have liability for their bets. Sports betting intermediaries can be remote or non-remote. Remote sports betting intermediaries in the UK, which includes betting exchanges, generally operate through the internet. An example of a non-remote sports betting intermediary is a tic-tac, who normally works within a betting ring on a horse or greyhound racing track.
