This is probably heading to the Rubber Room as its not PC but I've been in the Game for over 40 Years and its incredible how different Races produce in Gambling. In all my time in London I only ever met one Black Pro Gambler, and He was mainly in Poker Playing. Although from the outside one could say its not a race thing but social and Pycholigical(too late at Night) thing as in up-bringing, working class etc, I have had Years in Betting Shops with these People and without doubt Race plays its part, why I dont know. Surprisingly Jewish punters are the first pick of any Bookmaker, in my case all wewre so successful in their Day Jobs that Gambling was a release for them. As far as the Chinese are concerned its all part of their heritage and life although from a Bookmaking point of view they are very dangerous as when they get on a roll, nothing stops them. The same can be said for Black Punters, they dont expect to win and are only doing it for the enjoyment and of course they are right. While there are exceptions to these rules in all these Breeds, its in the British Isles that you see the real richter scale punters. British or Irish, if they are losers they're not only losers but big losers, like Joeyfitz. Certainly Race has a lot of influence on Gambling regardless of upbringing. :drink:
