Are there no avid gamblers jumping in on this thread in it's defence? |
I'm not going to defend gambling, but I would defend Denise Coates' ability to earn money.
She has a 1st in econometrics (the application of statistics to interpret economical data) and has used that knowledge to identify a market and exploit it.
I bet (only in the hypothetical sense, I don't gamble) there's not a person on this forum who, given the chance, wouldn't use their knowledge to become a multi millionaire.
You could argue about the morals of exploiting gamblers, but if Bet365 didn't, there's plenty of others that will and do.
Also, the company invest in all sorts of other companies, not all of which make money, eg Stoke City football club, which they own; no doubt there are thousands of Stoke supporters that get a lot of pleasure (and pain) from that club, but it loses nearly £10M a year, so they aren't just in it for the cash.
She runs an extremely successful, privately owned company and gets well rewarded for that - I would expect to get well rewarded if I were her, what's the problem? ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

Grotesque as that amount is, I have no issue with her income.
I was just thinking earlier that if PB thinks food vouchers are a better system than cash benefits and if it were to happen then he could do quite nicely for himself by setting up an exchange for them. Buy them dirt cheap and sell them for below market value to those who want foodstuffs cheaper than their pound can get them. The only losers are, you guessed it, those who gain the benefit in the first place. ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 117 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
