From that number (2.2B) and time frame (15 months), you can calculate the gang's income based on the average payout ratio of the bets.

Someone else here will have to finish the calculus because many of us just don't know the nuts and bolts of that industry.



Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Those articles are meaningless.

The only people who would know what they made is the bank. You're not factoring in who is on a half sheet. Who's on a quarter sheet. Who's running for ten percent. What's the cost PPH? Every book probably has 20-30 percent outstanding. I can go on and on and on and on and on.

What is a bookie?

When Interpol?
