Canadian Gamblers Underestimate Their Spend by $800

Filed in archive Gambling General on June 22, 2005

Many Canadians think they only spend $272 on gambling in a year - be it at casinos, horses, bingo or lotteries. In reality, they spend $1080 - thats 400% more than they believe they spend, according to a new report.

That figure is more than education and personal care - its closer to their cigarettes and alcohol spend and has increased rapidly over the last few years
