Title: Bookmakers' fury at 'flawed' gambling report by MPs Post by: Magic817 on January 31, 2017, 03:02:47 AM http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38800095
Title: Re: Bookmakers' fury at 'flawed' gambling report by MPs Post by: rinswun on January 31, 2017, 09:33:46 AM The self awareness of the spokesman is comedy.
"He added that betting shops were already closing at the rate of more than 1,000 a year and if the findings of this report were implemented, it "could spell the beginning of the end for the High Street bookmaker"." There's no high street firms making books any more. Just copy Betfair and the internet firms who put up their markets first and then phone any bets through higher than £20. They know they're basically operating mini casinos but wouldn't get approved for the license if they applied so they're forced to try take this high and mighty stance saying the book making industry will be killed when in reality they killed it themselves years ago. Joke. |
