    I would guess the only sport with really significant money bet illegally is football, so that would place most illegal betting around cities with a pro team or cities with a big college football programs.

    The closest thing you could get to actual facts would be to look at convictions for illegal bookmaking

    Good call horse on Dubai. No idea how they place ém but I'm thinking runners and top or underground books with massive reserve. Horses, F-1, Camel racing. (no joke it's true). and soccer.

    That might be only skiming the surface.

    Dubai is the LAST place you'll find gambling...completely illegal.

    Yes, they run the RICHEST race in the world (part of the RICHEST card of races), but it's literally all for "show".  Those guys are wealthy enough that betting on some races is meaningless.  Maybe the breeding rights come into play down the road...but it's about the production and bragging rights.

    I'm almost positive I've heard that the punishment is death; if not, a lengthy prison sentence is a given. TVG and Travel Channel always do specials when the Meydan racecourse opens their meet.

    Found this on gambling in dubai.

    The first thing that you need to know about Dubai is that this is one of the three main areas where UAE gambling is legal, however gambling as far as Dubai casinos is considered is not allowed, only sports betting is legal. However, the race tracks of Dubai have a pleasant surprise waiting for you. The residents of Dubai consider horse racing and camel racing as more of a traditional event than as a form of sport. However the odd adventure junkie or two would have come across natives offering illegal bets on camel races and this is one thing that you do not want to be associated with, since Dubai has strict laws which they take pride in enforcing. People who are found to be involved in illegal gambling can face up to 2 years in prison and may or may not be accompanied by a fine of Dh 20,000. Now this is exactly the kind of trouble that one should avoid.

    One other thing that you do not want to do while watching the camel’s kick up dirt is doing anything that would catch the attention of the people who offer illegal bets. They have a way of spotting people who are desperate for a bet and make sure that they do not sense that you are the one looking for some cheap thrills.

    A lot of good information in this response. I think overseas would be a ideal area such places as China, UAE , the UK as well.

    Why would anybody travel to Dubai? Wtf is there other than sand, scorching heat, some beaches, ridiculous prices and tons of laws.....There's no interesting culture other than imported slavery to develop that place, exotic police cars, massive shopping malls, glass sky scrapers......

    LA flight is like 16+ hours, and people I know actually went there.

    To see and do what? Go to the South Pacific, Vegas, Carribean. Hell even Palm Springs has the same crap. I don't get it.

    I know a guy whose company did most of the mechanical engineering in Dubai. He talked to me about receiving multi million dollar checks from the Al Maktoum family on private flights from St. Augustine to Dubai.  Because of it, he could afford to live anywhere in the world, but came back to Florida and built a world class horse ranch on 2700 acres 5 miles away from me. Research "The Stellar Group."
