Tony Bloom and the Seagulls?

[The Camel]

Tony Bloom is indeed a blondeite, & Jen was tableside - reporting for blonde - when he played that half milllion Heads Up game in Vegas last year. In fact he'd played Dave Colclough the day before in a warm-up, & Jen was the dealer.

Tony has a number of Sports Betting interests worldwide, & in one of them, he is a partrner of Martin de Knijff. He was at one time an odds-setter, but he was  poacher turned gamekeeper, & went on to make a fortune on Sports Betting, especially in the Far East, where betting on the Premier League is huge. He's a BIG Chelsea supporter, & rarely misses a home game. A lovely, humble, man, buit one helluva poker player.

Ian Dobson - I last saw him at The Palm Beach, in a £500, about 8 months ago, when Brian Wilson tempted me to play in what I thought was a £200! I believe Ian is connected with The Western.

Tony certainly isn't a Chelseas fan. He is a mad Brighton fan.

Dobbo is one of the best poker players in the country IMO. He will be back and winning very soon.

Well I know he has a box at Chelsea - maybe he just uses that for entertaining. I mean, Brighton & Chelsea - it's a no-brainer. Silly me.

Apart from his very successful betting and business decisions I think it is fair to point out that I have never ever heard anyone say a bad thing about Tony Bloom. The guy seems highly respected in poker circles and he is feared but respected amongst the bookmaking community.

Is there anything that this man doesnt know about poker??

how to look at his two hole cards and work out what they mean and how they rank on the poker ladder - but apart from that........

Grrr. I do get confused sometimes. So many cards to look at. And I'm told Omaha is worse - twice as many.

Just read in my local paper that Tony Bloom, nephew of seagulls director Ray Bloom is the wealthy investor spearheading the campaign to remove Mark Mcghee
It then goes on to mention his poker career and his various gambling business interests. I also think I saw him on the 425 show recently.
He seems to have done well for himself, but not sure if he has the millions needed at Brighton to turn it around. Does anyone know more about this or is he a blondeite?

which paper (the argus?) you got a link?

  For a football club that always appears to be struggling,there are a few well known people who are associated with them(and these people do have a financial interest in the club).

  Des Lynam is one(don't know if he's finacially involved)

  Norman Cook AKA 'Fatboy Slim' is the shirt sponsor with his Skint record label

  and now Tony Bloom (who appears to be not short of a few bob)

  plus the other directors involved.Surely there is a financial deal in there somewhere to take the club forward.

  Or does it all depend on the new stadium and the appeal against it by the locals,before anybody wants to lay down some hard earnt cash on the club.

Getting Falmer has proven to be a long running saga. It is difficult for anyone to imagine what it is like going to a Championship game where there is no roof. If it rains you get wet. The toliets are rentaloos and the corporate boxes are portakabins.
They have actually done amazingly well to have done so well with these resources. The fans have been badgering John Prescott for years and now he has changed jobs so no idea where they stand. At the last point it was down to Lewes Council appealing that John Prescott had not acted correctly.
They also have nine players out of contract and the club have yet to offer deals due to the finances.
Fat Boy Slim has done a lot for the club, including sponsoring the club with Skint on their shirts (an apt name if there was one). Des is also a regular but not sure whether he is financially involved, I am sure they have tapped him up somewhere along the way.
If anyone wins the wsop, your money is welcome at Brighton.
