    I sound like a parrot repeating this.

    But

    The graph of gambling spend per capita is a nice straight line. From the minnows, all the way to 2nd place, it’s straight and direct. Small increments for each country.

    USA is second, average spend of $400 per capita. That’s pokies, horses, gambling, Vegas etc.

    1st place is Aus. $2400 per capita. 5 times second place.

    Aus needs to drastically change our gambling rules and regs. Ban advertising on all media forms including Internet. Block international gambling sites that don’t comply. Don’t associate odds with sports in any way. Pokies in pubs can fuck right off too. Tax that to the point where they serve no purpose to have on site.
