BEN’S BLOG: ‘The Cardigan making a jealous-face…again!’

[dropcap]M[/dropcap]uch has been made, in betting-industry circles, of the recent ‘expose’ (yeah, right), that appeared in The Cardigan, regarding Bet365’s business activities in China writes BEN KEITH (right).

The gambling world is full of jealousy. Most of it, coming from the younger generations of privileged racing/gambling families, who have lived on ‘mummy and daddy’s’ money; for years.

Or, from those in positions of authority, at the big firms, who have GROSSLY UNDER-ACHIEVED, whilst their easy-life wages and paid-holidays have been steadily rolling in.

No betting organisation, ever since Adam and Eve first played ‘penny up the wall’, must have encountered more of the ‘green eye’ though, than Bet365.

What has 365’s Chinese business got to do with The Guardian, any other bookmakers, the mugs down at the stock-market, the Gam Comm, the UK Government, the Inland Revenue, any European punters, or in fact; ANYONE, for that matter?

The Coates’ have left us all for dead. And have been pissed about SO MUCH, in England, that they’ve moved their highly lucrative business to Gibraltar. CAN ALL THE SKINT MEMBERS STOP MAKING JEALOUS-FACES AND MIND THEIR OWN CRAP BUSINESSES, PLEASE.

In other news:

There was a time when individuals gained fame and respect for doing something worthy, or achieving the impossible, by going above and beyond. Maybe they wrote an iconic book. Or climbed Mount Everest. Or did something incredible for charity.

Well, anyway, the social climbers OF ALL TIME, the Middletons, are at it again, with Pippa now dropping hints that she’d like to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

This lot are bigger opportunists than me! WELL DONE FOR HAVING A SISTER THAT MARRIED INTO ROYALTY.

Over and out, B x
