Yes but didn’t flutter merge with Betfair to form the superpower that is now Betfair today.
I am studying Sport Journalism at Leeds Trinity University. Apparently loads of people have done their dissertation on gambling related subjects. I think marking wise it is more based on how you structure your argument, what interviews you get and what academic sources you use rather than do they understand the complexities of betfair. It’s not a definite anyway, I am just putting some feelers out to see if I have enough to work with. I have already done one 5000 word project titled Sports Betting, what are the financial, social and sporting implications and I had a huge amount of information for that, I am just wondering if this would be a little narrow.
Well I am doing my dissertation next year and I have already been thinking about different topics I could cover, so for this reason it hasn’t got a defnitive title as of yet. What are your views on the commission Betfair charge? I remember Harry Findlay saying in 2006 that he thinks 5%commission is too high and even though he only pays 2% because of the loyalty scheme, he would rather they just charged 2.5% flat rate for everyone.
