Anyone on here lose money on this?

Apparently its customers/investors/gamblers/mug punters lost £90 million when it collapsed!

I'd have money (boom boom) on it not being the last football gambling scandal. All this 'in play' stuff is wide open to corruption by betting syndicates, just like betting on individual overs in cricket. A few footballers went to jail for accepting bribes back in the 60s, but what's the betting (boom boom again) it's even more rife nowadays than it was then?

It's bad enough being hacked off when your team puts in an inexplicably bad performance, without wondering which players are on the take.

quicker gambling and football get miles away from each other the better it will be for me. its no good saying to people, gamble safely. some just cannot like with drinking. for me gambling is a scourge on the country and only less of a problem than drug addiction and on par with heavy drinking. never been part of a gambling family but know people who have been. if the bets lose then their standard of living drops even further till the next pay cheque or win comes in.

Is this a bitcoin fundraiser? Do I need to make a pledge? Is this a new fan group? Am I a real fan if I donate?
