I met with Betfair senior management recently, and Betfair had a record year last year, so I'm pretty convinced that the exchange isn't disappearing anytime soon.

Record by what metric? Turnover (world cup boost), or number of new customers, profit, or avg customer spend? What is 'a record year'?

I've probably said too much already, to be honest. But there was surprise in the Betfair camp at how negative everybody has been, considering they've had such a good year.

What do they expect when they have closed the forum and withdrawn from Denmark, Italy, Sweden, New Zealand, and Croatia in the last 18 months? Add to that the uncertainty of new leadership.
