No, it's not right, but the figure quoted is 'correct'.

There are a good number being paid more.
Including her, as has been pointed out.

Well, lots of people enjoy gambling, but I think this isn't a good kind.

These things are based on what can only really be called "brain exploits".
I've done horses, football, dogs, betting on political events, gentlemen's wagers, and over a good number of years am up by a little bit (more if you count the odd flutter on shares).

This is just nasty toxic exploitation compared to any of that

 

[GreatGutsby]

Ofcourse if people didn't gamble then she would'nt be able to be so disgustingly rich, I've never gambled in my life, no need for it at all. Infact, the whole point of it is that it's a con because the odds are so stacked against you, that's the main reason it exists, so you are actually at a loss, to make scum like her stinking rich.

 

[ruffneck23]

Can't comment on what these services were, but if this company deals in FOBTs then this CBE should be immediately withdrawn.

Note that I said "should" before piling in.

they do in thier high street stores

In other news: Number of problem gamblers aged 11-16 rises to 55,000

450,000 under 16's 'bet regularly' says the gambling commision report released on the same day as the news of this obscene pay packet is released.

What I never get about these stories is, why don't these people ever just stop? I'd jack in work if I won a couple of million on the lottery. This person is minted but she feels the need to keep going, keep grabbing money off people, keep stitching people up. I just don't get it.

 

[jusali]

Like gambling the pursuit of money is an addiction too. Said this so many times..............

When they speak they say it's not about the money / the money is incidental, which normal folk find hard to believe. But once you are on £1/4bn a year, it is irrelevant. They do it for the enjoyment of doing it. Occasionally one of these people has a Damascene moment and starts to use that wedge for good. Mostly they go on and on accumulating more and more. It often doesn't make them happy, just look at that phones4u cunt for a prime example.

i'm not exactly sure they 'do' anything beyond watching the cash flow in at the rate of ~£40.44 a second (assuming a 35 hour week)
