Don't you think Breon's done such an amazing job? If you would have told me Betfair would go from innovative and world changing web based technological platform to a UK regional bookmaker in a few years I wouldn't have believed it. Must have taken some effort to achieve that ;)

There are many curiosities .. but, we dont know whats in the political pipeline.

How much action comes from Canada, anyway ?

I know it used to be used by golf courtsiders, who would get USA feeds etc .. but, thats probably long done.

It may be, sports betting is under political review in 2016 (thou, its election yr etc, so, expect not too much), and bf want to make sure, they dont muddy any waters.
