"@ThomasSavill At a XX% rate it would likely be over half the market. How do you explain the size of the black market in Germany then In Netherlands taxes went from XXXX% to XXXX% and regulated market dropped to 49%. These are facts not speculation like your comments"

"@ThomasSavill This just isnt true Much maligned big corp invest hugely into racing product promotions cross selling from football. Even though its marginal / breakeven at best. The narrative that bookies havent done enough / dont pay enough is just lazy and factually wrong"

"@rhillsisgod @chrisgambler247 @ThomasSavill HK is up XX% in the period Japan up XX% Australia up 95%. Combination of factors driving these including GDP growth and regulations. Of the comparable jurisdictions U.K. has outperformed partly down to bookie investment and promotion"
