For me japan is the number 1 luckiest countries all over the world because the technology in japan is high tech and it is for 1st world country. The people are so genius when it comes to technology. So therefore the robot is on made on japan which is better result to game changer. Japan also is better than china because of technology.

That's mean most the winner it's come from the countries that on the list, i dont think they has counting with right maybe some gambler is using vpn due the countries on the list is the most countries are used by people that use vpn.

I guess that is what OPs trying to say, but others just misunderstand it and just include Olympics in this topic. The top 5 countries that OP mentioned in those countries that excel in gambling when it comes to poker, maybe those countries do like to play poker the most, that is why they are use on playing it, and mostly, they are winning all of the time.

Because it is not impossible that your winnings count is more than your lost count because of your experience about a certain game in a gambling site.

So basically, they are saying that luck favors the rich. That is really baseless in my opinion. Luck cannot be affected by how rich you are or where you live or what race you are. The dice will roll the same regardless of any factor. Unless the casinos are cheating everyone else but the top 5 on the list, then we can assume this is correct.

There is no such thing as luck.
People tend to explain big winnings as luck, but it's just a term that helps them to understand why their friend can win the lottery and they cannot. There's nothing behind the term, no lucky charms, no guardian angels.

Basically you described luck. There is luck, but there is no way we can influence it, ie. increase it or change it in anyway or trigger it like an RPG game. Luck is what we call the chance that we won something or was able to get whatever that is based on a particular chance. It is real but just simply a concept.

i don't know it before read this post, why that 5 countries called luckiest countries?
is it because of the countires have biggest amount of players?
or because of the countries have biggest amount of winning?

Massive price drop coming...

Why uk is number one instead of usa? i think more people are in usa than in uk..
Also i think i notice when i was using some website and some vcc from uk much more free hosting and domain you can get than usa ip so maybe uk is the luckiest this is just my own experience.. but if we are talking about in gambling maybe because of the number of gamblers are more in uk that is why more people are winning on uk in gambling casino than usa.. my country is the worst rank in the list..

oh damn, the uk is the luckiest country out of all of them?? I guess I should start gambling more Cheesy

To be honest it is a pretty interesting read but nothing more, that has nothing to do with the country because it depends on a lot of things why one country can have more lucky players than other such as how countries people manage to cope with their greed and stuff like that

So the basis of being a luckiest countries depends on the factors stated especially with the lottery and number of medals achieved in the olympics?

Well it should obvious that people should not look at the page seriously. Have some fun instead.

Pointing to the lottery, it's really obvious that US and UK have some tremendous big amount of lottery winnings so I will not surprised if they are on the top.

Just noticed my country with the lucky charm of polka dots, yes it has been the traditional icon here that believes can increase the luck and prosperity in any thing throughout the year.

That's their measurement on telling how lucky a country is. I saw this actually fun. The author does have really their unique way on determining a country's luck. I'm thinking if they make another article like this one by determining the luckiest people, group or individual on Earth? It's also fun to read that thing.

Well there are explanations about these and one of them is what you have said. They are those which are the 1st world country, that's why. Many gamblers in the 1st world country are very rich and betting a lot. They're huge loss are just a simple and nothing loss for them. They bet big, they win big, that is how it is. So the reason they are called lucky, even though they are actually not lucky, is because they are rich which is becoming more rich.

First on this list are the most richest people in the world. They have highest paychecks and they can afford to bet with much more then anyone else can. How can you measure something like this, I work all day for 12 dollars, they make it in minutes, well its same in casino I sit on table with couple dollars, they sits with 100.
Last night I played tournament, for the first time, team play tournament. I never saw that before, entry was 50 cents and by the countries most people was from UK, then US.. But last night on tournament where I registered, there wasn`t my country so I played under Australia, just cause their team had just 30 players, in other more then 50. So i don`t know how much this list is accurate, cause many people choose other country, not the one they live in like I did last night.

Don't take this list seriosly. In my opinion, someone randomly selected countries and stacked them in this order as he wants. Of course, we can't prove that this is untrue.
It is just impossible to comparable countries such as UK or USA with African countries. Just consider access to the Internet and how big is the gap between these two "worlds". The calculation of luck is simply irrational.

My country is at the bottom 5. I wonder why does some criteria are included in determining the countries luck. If you ask me, if a country have lots of natural resources, gold, silver and copper it is a lucky country.

Same here my country is being listed on the the bottom but basing on what you have said we are not seeing on the natural resources capabilities of each country,speaking of lucky its literally gambling but im confused what are the basis on these statistics.

it is strange, i can not open the site now and i don't know why. but in that list, i see that the all country is allow gambling to played by the people so i see the poker games can be played in that country. but i am curious why china is in number 17 from the list because as far as i know, they playing card games too although the names is not poker but i think its the same as poker games. and now since the site that maybe gets error and can not be visited, i think its not the good info.

I think we should not take the list seriously. Because the formula they used has nothing to do on how a country become lucky.

Precisely, it's just baseless and useless to have come up with this list. How can you determine the luck of people in a particular country? There are lots of successful gamblers who have relocated to some if these countries and so it just doesn't make those countries lucky at gambling but maybe lucky at having riches and technology.

I don't understand the methodology. Why would they include reality tv show winners, and summer Olympic games medals.
I don't even understand why they include sports in the equation, but since they did it, only only summer Olympic games.
And rainfall? It's still funny to see the things people in those countries won though.

Yes the measures they have used to make this list doesn't seem good. How average rainfall can effect on people's luck Roll Eyes

There are lots of daily/weekly jackpot running in those 1st world countries as well as they are the one who host several reality TV shows each year, so it is not surprising that they are listed in top 5 luckiest country. However we should atleast appreciate their effort to make this list. Wink

My country is not included on the top 5 list. But I can see it included for the whole top 22. It's interesting and truly funny with this type of list.

It made me laugh when seeing those reality TV show included with the methodology the site used. I'm not against with this type of list.

I want to see more like this one. Cheesy

Yeah. the methodology on determining the lucky country is very insane and i think it is out of context. I bet that the one who do this survey is from European country. And judging the lucky of a country by such criteria is totally nonsense because luck is unpredictable and it can never determined, But if the survey main objective is luck of having such important things, then i will agree on the list above because that country is so much blessed and have a rich resources

I like this type of surveys and list knowing the methodology they did on getting those criteria for including a country to the list is really crazy.

I hope the site will keep on making on what they had started to do. But I don't consider those countries to be blessed.

Their title is what define them, they are just lucky. Grin
