People in here talk like shes at the corner of the street conning people who walk by. If hsr company didn't exist people would go elsewhere she's not the only bookmaker, and those millions she makes would still ne in gambling circulation.
She can't be blamed if poor people want to waste what little money they have thinking they can win more
Indeed, not to mention that she's in charge of an international, online book (are people forgetting what that means???), she's not taking over empty shops in deprived areas and installing FOBT machines!
I suspect that plenty of the poor addicts some of the people are citing when moaning in this thread generally have little to do with the success of this company these days but are instead mostly customers of the high street firms.
I just took the below screen print from Alexia, I'd suspect that it isn't poor people in the favelas of Rio or the slums of Deli that are largely responsible for all that traffic but rather the growing middle class in those countries. Football is popular the world over after all and "bet365" is frankly an easy name to remember and type into a search engine after seeing it in a pitch side advert regardless of your native language.
Oh no, she's taking in a load of cash from multiple countries around the world and bringing it into the UK and she's the largest private sector employer in her local area. She remains resident in the UK + pays herself a big chunk of the proceeds via salary ergo giving up millions in tax that she could easily avoid.
Not to mention that plenty of people on this forum have had a taste of some of that cash too through taking advantage of various free bet offers from her company.
