Countries are ranked in the list based on only one indicator - the number of people in each country.
Accordingly, the top lines are occupied by the nations with the largest population.

Sports betting is the activity of predicting sports results and placing a wager on the outcome. The frequency of sports bet upon varies by culture, with the vast majority of bets being placed on association football, American football, basketball, baseball, hockey, track cycling, auto racing, mixed martial arts, and boxing at both the amateur and professional levels. Sports betting has become a truly global phenomenon, facilitated by new communication technologies. As a result, the development of deviances, from match-fixing to money laundering, has accelerated. This new reality has numerous implications, for both the regulation of this billion-dollar industry and the very integrity of sport, sport financing and betting operations. International sports betting markets are aplenty at Colorado’s legal online sportsbooks. Platforms like DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook offer bets on a wide array of international contests. With these international sports on the menu, Colorado players will find no shortage of year-round betting opportunities.
