Independent production company seeks deep throats to spill beans on online poker industry and BetFair Poker.

No GravatarBetting Market:

I am a researcher employed by a leading award winning UK based independent production company, that specialises in factual programmes. We are currently researching the online poker industry, for a forthcoming documentary that will look at the broader issue of the regulation of the online gambling industry.

I am interested in hearing from people who were or are involved in any disputes with their online poker provider. I would be particularly interested to hear from persons involved in the recent incidents at Absolute Poker and Ultimatebet. And I am keen to track down anybody with inside information relating to the recent Betfair heist (not least the player who goes under the name &#8220-Chillindude&#8221-).

All information received will be treated in the strictest confidence and anonymity will be afforded to anybody that wishes to appear in the programme, but does not wish their identity to be known.

In the first instance, please contact me at the address below, so that we can arrange a meeting.

The true numbers of the BetFair blog readership

They do poorly, as of today. Not surprising, since their content is not interesting (to say the least, and to stay correct). The only traction in the feed readership stats (compiled by the Google Reader, the world&#8217-s most popular feed reader), right now, is the portion of the BetFair blog that is written by a female professional Poker player (&#8221-Annette 15&#8243-). She is sponsored by BetFair Poker.
