A new online poker site - Mansion, which has yet to be launched, has signed as Man Utd's new shirt sponsor for a 4 year deal for £60,000,000. Hmmmm, would be interesting to see the cash flow model for this new venture! http://www.gambling911.com/040206Cnews.html |

Hehe, subtle stuff. £60 million? Jeez, well that's certainly the opposite approach to us! But they have to earn £60 milion just to stand still......whereas we will sleep well at night. The smell of burning fingers fills the air. |

I think the boss of Mansion sleeps OK.......he's an Indonesian who made $3 BILLION selling his cancer stick business to the Yanks (Phillip Morris, I think).

Money well spent as far as I'm concerned.
Is it a pokerroom or a casino/sportsbook/pokerroom?

If I remember rightly he has a sportsbook business and is setting up a new poker room as an add on!
He is also buying a London casino - the Les Ambassadeurs, or something like that.

It may well turn out to be money well spent, & Mr Moneybags may well have money to burn.
But it offends a basic principle which I set great store by. Earn the money first, then spend it, don't spend it before it's been earned.

Not quite as catchy as speculate to accumulate.

Mansion sportsbook opened a few years ago and also included a betting exchange. This created a very strange situation in that it became possible to arb between the sportsbook and the exchange with the same company. Not all that interesting but a strange situation for one company to be in as they were most certainly seeding the liquidity on the exchange. It was launched with a very expensive ad campaign and as far as I can see it is a very small turnover sportsbook, adding a casino and poker room makes perfect sense but $60 million is a massive investment in something so new. At last years wsop I was told Full Tilt had paid 50k to have the huge banner that hung from the ceiling as the players entered the playing area. I chatted to someone about their marketing splurge and plans for the future, this included the revelation that they planned to be in profit before..... 2008.....gulp. I prefer Tikay's way. |
