PTR's Top Countries of All Time

New report on PTR

http://www.pokertableratings.com/top-countries

I don't think it can be good for online poker.

This report has a sidenote on 6/10/10:
* Currently only Fulltilt and Party Poker included in this report

American's have lost $-318,147,334 in that tracking period on PP and FTP alone...

Thoughts?

Re: PTR's Top Countries of All Time

Papua New Guinea and British Indian Ocean Territory have the best players and Belarus has the most bots?

Larger the player base more likely to be in the negative, yay.

Re: PTR's Top Countries of All Time

Add all the figures up and you see how much is lost to those websites and proportion it with how big the websites are you can get a rough guess of how much PokerStars and Full Tilt made in the last 2 years... sickening.

Re: PTR's Top Countries of All Time

I can't believe how bad the numbers are for the Scandi countries, seems weird. How the hell is the US as bad as UK on this list also? Am I reading this right? $/100 is only thing that matters right?

Christmas Islands seem bad at pokers.. lol.

Re: PTR's Top Countries of All Time

Kinda sick that there's 11.6k players sample from Belarus and they are still winning by avarage. Seems like many of the biggest MS/HS winners at Party are from there.

Re: PTR's Top Countries of All Time

All of the random small super-winning countries are probably good players setting their country stat to some random place for confusion.

Re: PTR's Top Countries of All Time

Obviously I am no expert at all, but those figures make me think would the US government look at figures such as these and say if legislation stops this money leaving the US economy then legislation is a good thing? Especially if they do establish who owns companies such as full tilt, and get tax off them anyway?
I think it is good for me in the UK because UK poker players being so much in deficit gives the taxman here no incentive to tax poker winnings at all.

Suppose these statistics are so vague/incomplete to be meaningless.
