Not even comparable. I can throw darts at a scorecard to determine my bets, bet a $100 a game on 200 games a season, go 100 and 100 and lose $1000(that could easily cover an entire nfl or nba season). I can play online poker for months straight, sit and gos, small tourneys, regular game .25/50 no limit and I would not lose $1000, and I am not a good poker player and if you saw the range of hands I play you would laugh. I consider myself a pretty good horseplayer and on any given weekend I can lose $1000.
We cannot compare ourselves to Hong Kong, different culture, different market.
