Today, InTrade CEO John Delaney is trying to milk out this get-rich-quick story (or a similar enough story). His message: You, too, can get rich quick… —what it takes is just registering your credit card with InTrade.
What the InTrade CEO doesn’t tell you is that luck was a factor in Bethan’s sudden enrichment. Nothing wrong with tapping chance —but honesty should have prompted John Delaney to mention it. And you will notice the absence of information for the x axis (the time). Marketing and honesty are 2 words that don’t mix well in Ireland.
