Could do with a 100 quid of that to pay me virgin bill, certainly puts things into perspective.

They'll be worth £2,299,999,800 when QPR's relegation is confirmed and my bet is settled. Have that motherfuckers!

How have they managed to double up this year? That's crazy.

2014 - £1200m (78th)
2013 - £925m (93rd)
2012 - £800m (92nd)

Are they taking more and more of the existing market off their competitors or is the betting market expanding so much that the entire nation is gambling away its wage packet on a weekly basis??? As Fuller says the growth rate of their fortune is amazing.

I think one of the reasons is related to the fact that the family (or any of their senior executives) wont be holidaying in Beijing any time soon.

Fair play to them, self made. Even more fair play to them if they spare me 100k  |

As Fuller says the growth rate of their fortune is amazing. The legitimate betting market worldwide is expanding very fast and Bet365 are one of the major players. |

Please buy us some players so we can win something.
I'm thinking RB, RW, CB, CM.

You have to donate a wedge to the Tories for that - as did "Earl" Bamford. Can't see Coates stooping that low. |

Wouldn't surprise me if Peter did get a Knighthood but he would be nominated by the Labour Party certainly not by the Tories. Denise is, of course, already a CBE for her business activities in building up Bet365. |

Astounding when you consider that money will be mostly made off the backs of working class people, some of whom will get vice like addictions and finish off at the end of a rope. Funny old world. As good as it is they are doing well, I think I look at it differently.
As others have said I imagine Peter would get one based on what hes done for the city, business and the club. Bamford got his roundabout, planning and road improvements recently. Not bad.

Maybe, although I dare ask ever wonder why you tend not to see betting shops or fast food restaurants in more 'affluent' areas? |

The really rich gamble differently, at the horses or in casino's traditionally. Now they'll do that and have private accounts with the bookies with dedicated staff and what not. |

I work in a hotel and during the week it's mainly corporate types staying who generally get bored in the evening, some of these people are CEOs, high end bankers, people involved in the medical industry there is one guy who sits at the bar with his iPad betting away around £200-400 on live games and around £1000 on roulette and live casino type games if he looses he just shrugs his shoulders and goes again the night over.
The rich do bet and they bet big sometimes stupidly sometimes wisley

They wouldn't miss the £3M or so to fill that corner in where the big screen is.
A corner stand there (with possibly the first few rows of the South Stand) could be for away fans.
Then we could have Stoke fans behind the goal and by the tunnel.
That bloody open corner and hundreds of wasted seats behind the goal looks a right mess.
