My mind is absolutely blown

CEO AND Managing Director of a billion dollar company.

Last I heard, maybe 15 years ago, he was a trader for Sporting Index.

When I found that out, I thought he'd done well for himself.

Now I'm just stunned.

Think this is just American companies. Everyone is a vice president at them. Think he has done well, but isn't a CEO and Managing Director as we'd understand it here.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Got me thinking about the "Unusual suspects" at Blue Sq

At it was one, Jen was another. Was Mickey Wernick another? Any clues to the rest?

What about Jonny Raab who ran the competition?

*I don't suppose a single soul believes my memory is that good, so here's the actual Live Update thread from the launch Event which was held in a room overlooking Trafalgar Square. Sir Clive Sinclair lived above the room in an apartment & joined us for the evening but upon arrival promptly fell asleep.

Think he is a writer for pokerpro online mag, think he recently won an award for an article about some online sites allowing bots
