520    Lang provides a sweeping overview of legal and illegal 
       sports and race betting in the United States, from the 
       first thoroughbred meet at Saratoga in 1863 through the 
       modern day. The cultural war between bookmakers and their 
       adversaries is a recurring theme, as bookmakers were often
       forced into the shadows during times of social reform, 
       only to bloom anew when the time was ripe. While much of 
       bookmaking's history takes place in New York, other 
       locales such as Chicago, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City—not 
       to mention Cyberspace—are also discussed in this volume.
