is it more or les than porn industry???
I think it's less,
and "basic instincts" still rule
;-)))
Was that profit or just the amount gambled? And are you including ALL porn in your theory or just internet? Just the US or international sales?
Personally, I'd be VERY surprised if the INTERNET porn industry generated more in PROFITS than gambling in the US. But I'm usually wrong in fiduciary matters.
Depends on how you define porn. Does this include live entertainment such as strip clubs and such? What about porn delivered on PPV at hotels?

Don't forget video/DVD sales and rentals and the real biggie... magazines...
Do the gambling figures include OTB's, Lotteries and the like as well?
It's a toughie.
But I'd gamble on the SEX industry in total NOT being bigger than GAMBLING as an industry.

I think you are correct.

"Consider: Sex is the No. 1 topic searched for on the Internet. Gambling is second.
Americans spend $10 billion per year on porn, as much as they spend on sporting events, movies, or music. Paul Fishbein, founder and president of Adult Video News magazine and promoter of the show Kroft attended, said there are 800 million rentals each year of adult videotapes and DVDs.

if you can provide me with a link saying the opposite-
I'll be delighted...
I would figure that the ipsp's process more than half of the internet business that comes through. If you take an estimation of their numbers and double it, I don't see porn coming close to gaming, especially if you add up the gambling from all the casinos worldwide...

KK, I wasn't reffering to Internet at all!
I was comparing REAL casinos in Vegas and Macau and was more thinking about REAL porn vs REAL gambling, therefore, your internet numbers from processors are not relevant
;-)
I have only played online casino once and I won - after that I have never played again at the online casnios - I attend to die with having won more than lost
