They will have cleaned up on all the Lampard bets.

It's a bit naughty having a corporation that dominates a significant chunk of the sports output in this country that also runs a betting firm.

It's almost like one of the major bookies is also a major sports news network....

 

On a serious note though, how is it not a conflict of interests for a company to own both a major rumour mongering site claiming to be news, whilst also running books on the same subjects?

Don't worry, I'm sure there is no conflict of interests there at all. Mr Murdoch promises.

They also take the moral high ground with their advertising I hear.
