Called so as bet 365 owner also owns or sponsors Stoke ?
Yesterday the betting outlets inside were William Hill ! Very odd.

And while football openly endorses gambling with sponsorship in various forms if a player has a bet he could be in serious trouble.

Yes. She took over the family business of betting shops from her father and eventually sold them to Coral. She set up Bet365 with the money and this year her salary was £265m. Her father is Stoke City Chairman and gee husband is a Director too. It was reported that she pays uk tax without any fancy offshore tax avoidance schemes in place.

Clever lady as read that she was 4 to 5 years in front of the big 3 bookmakers when it came to online gaming. Pays tax and donates to good charities in this country.

Is Hughes Stoke one of the charities?
