Do Indians love their gambling too?

Hooked to gambling?

India bans all betting and casinos. However, that doesn't stop them from spending over US$1bn on betting during the 2003 cricket world cup. Organised lotteries also account for US$7bn in India.

It also seems that there are many Indians in the UK that prefer nothing better than spending an evening or 2 down at the casino

Apparantly, this activity is most predominant in the run-up to Diwali - as Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth who is celebrated during Diwali is pleased when her devotees play to win

Sounds a good enough excuse for me
