    I think we should do a whip round for Denise Coates just in case. She only earnt a million quid per working day last year for Bet365... down about 30 million from the year before.

    Betting is and and always will be a mug's game. It also ruin's people's lives.

    It also provides a great deal of enjoyment to a vast amount of people in various sports formats.
    The situation at Bet365 is ridiculous but that’s the way of the world nowadays.
    We all know about highly paid footballers but we still fund them because we get a good deal of enjoyment from watching.

    I get that, but personally think it causes more damage than good.

    Where it all comes from
    Is a mystery
    It's like the changing of the seasons
    And the tides of the sea
    But heres the one thats driving me berserk
    Why do only banks and bookmakers lie
    La la lala - la la la la la,
    La la la la la
