...That is on-par with poker in terms of number of people in the UK who rely on it as their sole/primary income.

No real idea, but I'm guessing perhaps closer to 2000.

Where are we going with this anyway?

Nowhere, I was just thinking about how huge the ISPT was in our little bubble of a community, but to 99.9% of the population, it means nothing.

I feel so wrapped up in this world, it's easy to forget how insignificant the whole thing is.

Are we really on a level with Chiropodists?!

Well if only 10% of players are profitable, then I would imagine only the top 1/2% would make enough money to make a living from.  If we say 100k people in the UK play poker regularly then that would suggest 1-2k professionals under the terms of OP?
