- Sportsbetting revenues up 25%, with the amount wagered up 27%
- Retail revenues down 6% from last year

No doubt an impressive figures and no wonder probably, that is a monster company now after two of the leading UK bookies merged and obviously that woarked just great for them.
Wow, 3.6 Billion only for the first half 🤷
I knew that Ladbroke is a very old betting company, but never imagined this kind of number.
Even if the two companies were merged, the numbers are surprising 🙂
