Sporting Activities
Gambling is also closely related to the development of sporting activities. Apart from the Lottery, the most lucrative attraction in gambling is betting on horse or greyhound races, or on football matches. Football dominates spectator sport to an increasing extent (both live and on TV), but in sports participation, the trend away from organised team sports continues, with more and more people preferring to keep fit individually by joining a health club or using a public gym or swimming pool. In commercial terms, golf is by far the most important leisure pastime of a sporting nature.
