Ladbrokes to buy Betdaq

P_1 · 2013-01-24 09:55:46

Interesting hearing this on Newstalk this morning, I wonder what this will mean for Betdaq, will it benefit from having more liquidity thanks to a massive advertising campaign from Ladbrokes or will it be left to wilt and die?

It's interesting. You'd imagine they'll make a go of it after paying up for it.

They'll try and grow betdaq I expect, I wonder will they rebrand it and have exchange betting as a link off the Ladbrokes site? Buying some of the competition is generally a good move if the price is right.

Loads of people vehemently just use exchanges now as a matter of principle

Yikes I wonder if they'd start limiting if they have it as a link off their main site
