 * I'll add that beyond the by now obvious problem of distinguishing between fact and opinion, Embers18 also seems to have a problem with the facts themselves. The SCMP indeed confirms that the turnover of the betting operator in Hong Kong was HK$ 216.5 billion. Unfortunately that's not the tote turnover. That's the total turnover, including, for example, the lottery. The source doesn't mention "tote" or "pool" betting and doesn't say which percentage of that amount was spent on tote betting. (It's also quite a bit lower than the gambling revenue of Macau, which makes it a bit less staggering.) Huon (talk) 18:43, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
