Also I did not post that what you posted is half correct or not completely correct. I posted that it is correct. I think that explains my post enough.

I didn't say you're not correct, I was just highlighting why these approaches are bad, population or percentages.
Counting the number of people in a country that gamble is not really an indicator of anything, a percentage-wise would be closer, but again, then we have the problem of how much those gamble, cause you have gamblers and gamblers...you mentioned that there is a difference between Northern and Southern Nigeria.

I could see only two statistics that would really make sense:
- the number of addicts percentage wise
- the number of people that make money out of gambling
I doubt anyone could figure out those two without huge errors.

The rating makes logical but Italy being in the top five is shocking.  I always thought of it more for history and food than gaming.

Yeah, you forgot the part where they were betting on who dies in the next fight  Grin
