My fav metric from a study done a few years back is about how much Aussies spend per capita on gambling compared to everyone else.

The graph showing every country is a nice linear line as you would expect, up to the number 2 spot, which is the USA. They spend ~$415 per capita per year gambling. And that’s with Vegas, sports betting, the lot.

Number 1 spot is Australia. $2450 per capita per year.

We spend more than the next 5 combined…
