You will never find hard data for the entire world since most countries don't even care about that, you can start picking up country by country.

For the EU and US, it's easy, go to either:

https://www.americangaming.org/resources/commercial-gaming-revenue-tracker/

and start digging the data out, for the rest you can use the resources here

but outside the commonwealth and the above-mentioned don't expect wonders, also...


Crypto, not Bitcoin, check the last bets tickers in casinos like bcgame or stake or anything and you will see USDT rules eveywhere

That's a bulletproof way to lose money.
Higher odds mean just that the event is more unlikely than a lower odds one, it doesn't mean that betting 1000 times on 1.5 odds will for sure beat betting 100 times on 5x odds.Chasing odds is foolish, chasing the value behind those odds it's a different thing, and that's what professional gamblers do.


I've done this experiment with favorites twice for both a season for the entire league and only favorites as in top teams and even in the best case the wins are below inflation rates and even losses for some, so unless you're cherry-picking teams and matches, this is not a viable strategy by any means.

Seriously, what is FCSB doing here?




Next match they are 1.25 and I'm sure they will win, but this is really close to calling them for fixing matches..
Losing to a team from Andorra?

How to catch three felonies in one act, textbook material!


Let's spice it up a bit if we are still in scenario mode.
What happens that after your successful withdrawal and you check the betting history, you realize you have cash-out $20 000 but your dumb kid has somehow managed to get hold and lose $40,000 during his gambling adventure? 

Now, much of a secret since a random guy outside Germany on a forum knows about their "secret" plan.
So, should I ask about some proof of this mastermind plan that sounds so stupid no one but a guy who would want to ruin the entire season for Bayer would put it in place?


They secured the players needed for what?
2002  Placed 3rd
2003  Placed 8th
2004  Placed 15th
This was their goal? losing 5 places each year? 

I don't think there is such a thing, SP (starting price), bet is a standard in the industry, so they have an indicator for that,to grab the odds at half time, they would have to scan every bookie for every match at half time and archive that. I doubt there is anyone doing it, it would be a pain in the ass for sure as you will need to accurately know when half time actually is in a live bet.



I did that in an experiment on favorites with low odds

Funny enough, two single multi wins, even at 1.5 odds, were enough to keep the balance positive.
But again, it's something like 4% over a year, so worse than interest rates even if you would keep that constant and not lose, and I think just one year could be simply a statistical anomaly.

The source you have listed actually contradicts this

The Czech Republic has a GDP per capita 3 times that of China and is gambling 20 times less, so this is a 60x difference in the opposite way.
Income determines how much the CAN gamble, not how much they will.
Besides, the thing is pretty obvious with Dutch people spending 4 times as much as Germans.

Also, studies say that close to 1/3 of the population of Nigeria has gambled at least once a year, compare that to the Czech Republic, where only 25% have. I don't think we need to compare the average wage, do we?

It won't!
The person who was drawn to this was gambling because he wanted to win, he had from the start that need, it's pretty hard for someone who maybe was also in need of money to actually get bored of both winning and making money, the only scneario when is gets bored an quits is the moment he has more than enough money out of it and ne nees somethign mroe exciting and those are cases you can count maybe on a few hands fingers if not one.

Assuming extremely rich, assuming he has no need for money, then obviously the only adrenaline he needs is that of winning, money is irrelevant here, he came for the wins and he will keep trying to win till he achieves eveythign he wished, the novelety is not a part of it he just wants to be the best at the table and ussulaly this end with him losing a ton of money, sometimes too much even if he counted himself as extremely rich before that.


There is no such thing as infinite time and money, nor is there a thing with no consequences!

If you count out RTP there is no such thing as "better" wins, hitting a 1000x win and then 1000 losses is just as bad as hitting ten x2 and then ten 10 losses, one is exciting as hell and makes you hunt that jackpot then drive you to dispair the other is as boring as a 50/50 dice game but in the end the result will be the same.

Plus, taking into account individual experience is resembling a bit chasing "hot and cold" machines  
What are you actually searching for, slots that are profitable, lol?

There are a few issues with the decision here
- Is the amount of money won life-changing?
- Is the casino suspicious at all about the account?
- What are the laws in said country about gambling, identity deception, and more importantly, contributing to the delinquency of a minor by a parent

The thing is that if your kid has used the email gokusayanwarrior@ something and that email is linked to some stupid post on social media, the casino might have double thoughts about it, not even mentioning emails discussion, attitude in rooms and so on....
So if you live in a 3rd world country with no laws, year, why not risk it? if you live in the US or EU, I don't think it's worth the risks!

I pay my share of 25 euros for renting a football field for 1 hour, I suck at football.
I paid some 2000 euros for my computer, and hundreds for games, I suck at playing Ark so much I have almost become an indispensable asset for my tribe, they won't enjoy their play and twitch streaming without me wreaking havoc.
I love to play snooker, but my friend is a national top 100 player, guess what the score is.

So, I'm always losing at those, I pay money, and guess what....I still have fun!
Why can't gambling be the same?

LOl, you're playing slots, you hit a jackpot and you're actually surprised this is happening?
What about the others that are drained every day with no jackpot so their losses even out your winnings and keep the RTP stable? 

Slots are for having fun and wasting a bit of money now and there, try a new one, another one, gamble a few more $, no way you're going to achieve anything playing the same game every day, it's like a reverse world working schedule.

Spread it over a few years and it's nothing, we're still talking about Europe and 1k Euros no kyc, you can easily hit  10-15 ATM is a day in most capitals that still have those, and despite being a full continent, places are really close compared to others.
Again, he wants to avoid paying 60k that's above what 90% of the world makes in two years. 


He needs to move that from France to Turkey, the moment he does that, he must declare all his assets. if he doesn't do that, then it's tax evasion, so there is no "legal" way to simply export untaxed wealth out of the country.

 
Again, legally doesn't work, he gets that capital out of the country used to finance a business,  the moment he does it's a taxable act since he's loaning fiat value to the company.

What's the point?
Trying to get as close to the RTP, having millions of bets with half a penny?
You're spreading the bets over an insane amount of time even with a bot while you could simply gamble normally with a bit higher bets and achieve roughly the same  +/- 1/2%

Also, do you think that nowadays casinos are just handing out VIP bonuses and gifts liek that and don't check what you have actually bet and gambled upon? You will reach VIP in some casino and then you will scream why you get only 5$ a month bonus! 

It has nothig to do with probbality, it's just the betting pattern that is in reverse
So instead of win> return to bet, loss > double the bet, you do the opposite, win> double the bet, loss, return to bet.
It aims at actually taking advantage of huge chains, as you bet with 1, win 2, you bet all your winnings, you win 4, you bet 4 you win 8.....and you set a limit at 1024 or whatever...

-----------------------

Only two days have passed so I'm not updating the table, not worth it but there was no loss anyhow!

Documentary, right? Cause if it's an action movie, ....I admit I would love to see a scene where he is changing tires while driving and all those things from action movies!


Russell has no contract with Mercedes once 2025 ends, what's keeping Max from Mercedes is his own with RB.
And, I'm sorry to say this for Russell but out of the top 8 pilots aside from Kim, he is the least to have any say in his team decisions, at least Leclerc has money, Hamilton has prestige, Lando and Norris both win after win, Max, well is Max, even Perez was hard to boot cause money! Russell...has no ace in his sleeve!

But Max at Mercedes and Hamilton at Ferrari both struggling and failing to reach the podium would be popcorn material!

Yeah, everyone gets surprised a bit by that but I got so used to it as I'm chasing horses that win or place, not single values (unlike in this experiment)

I will admit it does look pretty bad on paper, now you're going by implied probability, everything over 20 is cannon fodder, so those would be wiping a bit of % of those, closer to 20%, so closer to what I am used to. Usually, they are around 20% for grade2/3 races, including that extra baggage,
https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results/2025-07-19/newbury/869007/hallgarten-and-novum-wines-hackwood-stakes-group-3
go lower in grade and expect to encounter 30%
https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/results/2025-07-20/redcar/869048/racing-tv-apprentice-handicap


Not to defend them, but no way in hell would a bookie offer something like in the 5-10% like tennis and keep afloat with horses, not unless he is playing with luck too.

In these cases, it helps a lot to be actually honest!
You used a VPN to play because your IP was getting blocked, common, don't tell me not at least once it didn't happen that you typed the site without a VPN active, common, just be honest with the whole thing, and it will help more than making things up.

Now here is the thing, is the $50k balance higher than your deposits??? cause....we all know what that would mean.

Nobody will be able to give you a number..
- I've lost hundreds on hundreds of races I don't even remember I watched
- I will never forget the bet I lost because I mistook the tables and I bet on the wrong horse
- I will never forget a lost bet that came because the jockey was so sure of winning and he just idled near the line and was caught up

It's not always about the money, most of those unforgettable bets are because of the circumstances that led to them.

Survivor bias! 
Define "most" success, as it's always the same, you manage to land two hits and get a x10 and then you slowly lose it all back, now if you're unlucky you have the reverso happen, you loss 90% of your funds only to finally hit 10x in the last games you're back to same money.
There is no such game that would be even close to allow everyone to make a "quick' profit, if it were like casinos would have banned it a long time ago.

The better question would be what games to avoid from the strat, knowing that you won't be making 10x at all and just slowly draining your balance, and damn, that's a long list.
