Seemed to lay way more money than usual in Killarney.
He seems to be losing money hand over fist, not to mention having three staff that he brings to all these meetings with their wages and expenses (overnight stays at a festival like Killarney). He must have very deep pockets as he must be in for well over 500k already in buying pitches and what he’s lost.
He’s not having a great time of it

I was thinking they must have gotten a bit of a hammering today
Big figures there - puts AK’s burger kings into perspective
Absolutely iconic.
Didn’t operate in Ireland I think.
The blogger did a lot of work with them alright.
From talking to a few lads in the UK who used them, they did lay a bet. Up until they updated the site recently and it all went to shit.
I’d appreciate if those with a bit of passing interest in the game could help me out here. I’ve a friend who has recently got a good enough job in America in the fledgling gambling industry over there. They’re picking his brain about a few things about customer tastes back home. He asked me to list and rank the biggest online bookmakers for Irish customers. I put the list like so:
- Paddy Power obviously
- Boylesports
- Bet365 and Ladbrokes
- Betfair sportsbook
- William Hill and Betvictor
- Quinnbet is only other online Irish company outside of Powers and Boyles I can think of, although their market share is likely smaller than even the likes of Corals, Skybet, Betfred here I’d say. But I’ve put them at the bottom
Anyone I’m missing here or anyone have good inkling that my ranking is wrong? I’m not sure if Boylesports should be ranked at no. 2 to be honest. While they have bricks and mortar presence on the streets, I’m not sure they’d have a higher number of online customers than any of Bet365/Ladbrokes/Betfair sportsbook. They do of course have the biggest reputation for restricting you early so probably goodwill among the masses may be low to engage with them. If anyone knew of hard data on market share that would be ideal and answer this question fairly quickly but I’m not sure that exists.
I’d say bet365 would be second biggest for online customers here
