"On Flutter's decentralised strategy compared to Entain: "Well Entain don't follow this operating model Entain moved a lot of their key operations to Hyderabad ending up with several thousand tech experts there. They centralized some product areas like the iGaming platform and possibly the sports betting platform as well. We chose not to go that route. We avoided global roadmaps because as the U.S. market grew everything U.S.-related would have dominated the roadmap due to its value. This would have led to disenfranchised teams in other countries losing out to local competitors. In my view the"

For example if we offered a risk-free $200 DraftKings would offer a risk-free $250. Then we'd go to risk-free $500 and they would counter with risk-free $1000. At some point you're just dumping money. DraftKings in particular was willing to go deeper into the red to outlast us outlast FanDuel in terms of bonusing. Eventually DraftKings went public and they had to put themselves on a path to profitability. That's when the extreme aggressive spending had"

If John Deere says they can reach 95% of their dealers in two days and move that to 97% or 98% it's extremely costly to buy those additional points of availability but it makes a significant service difference.

While the Navy could approach other manufacturers for similar parts once a company was qualified and in production it was difficult to switch.
