Bet365 chief Denise Coates paid herself GBP217m last year

[electronictonic]

I have the premium charge, I cannot view market volumes, and have a 3 minute delay on prices, although I'm not limited in the strict sense of the word, I am. It is impossible to back or lay in horse races with a 3 minute delay in seeing what price I am going to get, unless I was on track, as even the small delay on racing UK is too much to back blind, let alone the 6+ seconds on atr.

I hear ya, the track layers have a huge advantage or those that fork out thousands a month for SiS pics were they have no delay.

Yeah, you could make money a few years ago, now you HAVE to be on course, even for the place market that I used to make a lot of money from

I have a 3 minute delay on top of all the others tho as bf decided I was using it for commercial use, I can pay £299 to get access back....er no lol

Bet365 are one of the worst bookmakers in the world. Hopefully with all the regulatory changes Bet365 and the other shit bookmakers such as Ladbrokes and William Hill all piss off and leave Australia.

These companies rely heavily on problem gamblers and its dillusional to think otherwise.
I have no problem with wealth or entrepreneurs who make millions/billions but her company does nothing for society except take money from those that cannot afford it.

In Australia the three bookies mentioned above are always on TV advertising their ods while the footy is on. Just what I want my kids to see when we watch the games together.

William hill is by far the best bookmaker on the list

You win on the nags too much? No problem they restrict you on the horsed but keep all other parts at 100%...heck they let you take up their enhanced offers and pushes

I understand the complaint now. Because they remove risky players - IE those who could hurt their profits, they're a bad business? Seems sensible to me.

Anyway, i'm not defending bet365 as an operation, I'm defending Denise for taking some of her hard earned money out of the business. Wealth hating socialists raised the issue, I simply stepped in to put them back into their boxes!

Ideally they should just remove the gambling portion and save everyone of the problem gamblers/losers(read bet365 customers with 100%accounts)..a few good bookmakers still allow winners....take risks they dont need to , to give good punters a chance(think bets that cant be laid off)

Any idea why they are denying the girl her payout on the reason of proxy betting?(woukd thep0y have refunded her if she lost)

Theres a lot more to that story than was in her tabloid sob stories.

Moral of it is, if you are putting bets on for notorious gamblers who are banned/excluded from ALL the major bookmakers, don't go round bragging about it in racing circles, as you are likely to get caught.

I will put money on she doesn't win in court.

EDIT: Thats assuming we are talking about the same person

This is the one I am thinking of

Poppy cock
I started the thread because from a business standpoint taking out almost half of your company's profits and pocketing it is just wrong.
Your greater knowledge of the situation has changed my mind though, as her possible health issues and avoidance of inheritance tax is perfectly understandable and sensible. I had no way of knowing any of this from the information I had available to me.

Half of last years profits. A quick check of the business on Companies House shows they have almost £1billion cash at hand - that's money in the bank outside of other assets. But yes, all other discussion aside, I have no doubt she's simply finally preparing herself for the future and maybe even considering taking a step back, who knows. I just find it repulsive that these newspapers plaster these stories over their pages, it's just spiteful and harmful to a persons reputation.

But didn't you expect anything else from this trash paper that clearly has an agenda?

My view is that Denise Coates had the courage, vision, skills and tenacity to create from the ground up, build and then manage a very successful business enterprise over the years.

She and her family accepted considerable financial risk in doing so, using their assets to raise enough money to launch and operate bet365 in a professional manner.

Once successful she has ensured that her Foundation has donated significant amounts of aid to the less fortunate. Both she and the company have paid the considerable taxes due. And they have created job opportunities for around 3,000 people, and business for their suppliers.

I do not know her, but it appears that she does not seek publicity or indulge in vulgar displays of wealth and self-importance, which interestingly much of the media appear to admire as they cover the OTT activity of celebrities.

I believe she deserves to enjoy the rewards flowing from her initiative and the undoubtedly very long hours she has invested in the business personally.

IMO she is the victim of the tall poppy syndrome that appears to permeate the media.

A company that lacks any form of integrity. She has created wealth yes but all she done is taken money from others and given it to herself. Her business has not enhanced the world, if anything more people are worse off due to her shitty company. Look at the forums online and see how many customers are waiting to be paid. The Australian government instructed Interpol to investigate bet365 due to the shoddy business practises that many Australian customers were effected by.

I'm sorry but praising the owner of bet365 like she is some sort of saint is ridiculous. How can you seriously spout about great she is when her business is blacklisted by nearly all online forums for unethical and fraudulent conduct. They take your money and in thousands of cases refuse to give it back. It's caused theft.

I admire entreprenaurs or rich people who enhance society. Bill Gates is someone who engaged in shonky business practises over the years, however he enhanced people and businesses live with his products and I admire someone who has amassed large sums of money but his products helped people and companies. In addition he then gives 99% to charity. His mark on the world is felt in the billions in a positive light.

Denise... not so much.
