Howād it go anyway, anybody here win decent money?
Cleaned out to a man
The bastards were wiped out. Karma.
Enjoy the beers. Iāll take that as a yes. Everyone needs a stook to be the fall guy.
This post came to mind, and the old quote about bookies not riding bicycles
The Coates and the original Betfair people who own Brighton made fortunes as the first to really recognise the potential of online.
Ivan and Celtic were cleaned out, no online and paying long leases with too high a rent.
I could see it going back towards the shops again as affordability checks will surely come in everywhere for online gambling, will save a lot of people.
Stoke City is a great job for Michael OāNeill, they have the money to kick on if he can convince them with the right foundation.
They backed Pulis massive one year but he bought duds
Was it not Hughes who spent a good bit there
Couldāve been actually, it shook them up anyway.
They seem to be like the spurs lads and want it to pay for itself more or less.
Yep, was Hughes, Iām mistaken
33 players in 4 years, no wonder they tightened up.
Did similar at QPR
90% of their turnover comes from outside the UK and unregulated markets. Cheltenham would be a drop in the ocean for them. Your point is still completely valid however.

When you go into betfair and see the money matched on we say a World Cup final or tennis grand slam final
and then compare it to the amount of money matched on the gold cup or champion hurdle you realise just how small beans national hunt racing is in the grand scheme of betting despite its prominence here in Ireland.
Absolutely spot on. 365 were first to capture a lot of the in play market which has ridiculous margins and turnover. The Asians love the buzz of live betting
The IPL is starting next week.
Theyāll be millions matched on it.
Was it $500m traded on the US presidential election? Betfair cleared $20m pure profit on that single market alone just in commission fees I think. Absolute madness
Just speaking about Ireland myself,
Cheltenham and the Grand National is the acceptable face of gambling, my gripe initially was with the pally, this is all a great laugh advertising around Cheltenham, thereās nothing glamorous about backing horses (or anything else)
The bookies win
Paddy Power perfected this advertising of have a bet while youāre in the pub with your mates. They were the first to normalise this.
