chelseacol 2,488 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 Anyone know what the pay is ? I might have a crack. After all I already go to heaps of race meetings and drink and eat and gamble all day. This way I get the food and drinks for free and a bit of play money to help the punting. Doesn't seem to be any work required is there ?

Phantom 494 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Would have thought another lawyer was the last thing they needed, with all due respect to Rumpole and his ilk. Here's a concept: How about looking for someone with some knowledge/experience in the GAMING INDUSTRY while turnover continues to descend at min-numbing pace.

Here's a concept: How about looking for someone with some knowledge/experience in the GAMING INDUSTRY while turnover continues to descend at min-numbing pace. That's an intriguing idea but I think it's too sensible for words. It beggars belief that we have a board running a wagering organisation that has no wagering expertise on it at all. You'd think that would be a core requirement for the bulk of the board, at least the independent members. It's insane and the results prove it. chelseacol and Phantom 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
