Superstitious believers in luck worldwide are attracted to the unpredictability of betting. Today the gambling industry is thriving. Sports betting, slot machines, roulette, poker… Every nation seems to enjoy a bit of betting be it online, in a real life casino or just indulging in a lottery ticket.

However, for many nations the industry is still still on its way up. Insidermonkey experts made a list of countries with the highest gambling losses in the world.
