Have you once in your life ever placed a bet in any horse race?
Well, this should be of great interest to you. This data as
published by Maps of World Dot Com really knocked me of my feet
today! According to Maps of World Dot Com, the world’s top 10 horse
racing betting countries are as follows:
-
Japan with recorded bets valued at
₤22,900,000,000
-
USA with recorded bets valued at ₤11,180,000,000
-
China (Hong Kong) with recorded bets valued at
₤6,860,000,000
-
UK with recorded bets valued at ₤5,160,000,000
-
Australia with recorded bets valued at
₤3,780,000,000
-
France with recorded bets valued at
₤3,690,000,000
-
South Korea with recorded bets valued at
₤2,220,000,000
-
Italy with recorded bets valued at
₤1,460,000,000
-
Malaysia with recorded bets valued at
₤920,000,000
-
Canada with recorded bets valued at ₤790,000,000
This is totally outrageous! Can you imagine the
amount of money people are throwing on horses, jockeys and race
tracks around the world nowadays? What irked me most is perhaps on
seeing Malaysia, a small Islamic country in the South East region
somehow got to be number 9 in the list. Malaysia is a fast
developing Third World country and the people there are obviously
relishing to those dreams of striking it rich on the race tracks. Is
this really the best way to do so? Wasting millions?
I guess the age of the Internet inadvertently
contributes to the horse racing betting explosions in the world
today. Nowadays, you no longer have to be there at the race tracks
to place bets. You can simply place them online 24 hours a day
anytime of the year. Online wagering and betting websites are
growing like wildfires obviously to take advantage of this alarming
growth of this expensive betting habit. I just took a peep at some
of the websites and their online forecasting, odds and horse winning
histories would put Wall Street to shame!
If you are one of the horse racing gamblers, I would
like to ask you something. Is it all worth it?
