Angola vs Mali bet by student: Any sympathy at all?

Question for the industry insiders.

Is there a noticable increase in profits that bookies make when student loan time comes around in September?

Tank - when I worked for UK bookies we never had a particularly large amount of punters that were noticeably students so no.  When I worked for US sportsbooks students were a much bigger demographic but that is probably to do with college sports being a big part of what is bet on.  There is a big tradition of campus bookies etc in the States too.

Funnily enough when I was a student 13 years ago or so I was the only punter of any size I can remember on my campus but I suppose the internet and poker has changed that a fair bit now.
