Default Re: Question for Swedes

The first people that started getting interested in poker were the smart math types and the hustlers. Economy students and the likes. Only now are the casual gamblers really getting interested. WRT education system, I think Sweden has one of the better in the world, and good unis are available to everyone as long as you got good grades or test scores. The welfare system takes care of a lot of the costs, so you don't have mortgages anywhere the size of those in america.

That might be part of the explanation.
