betfred took over totesport in july (so ive just heard)
we had "betfred" on our shirts at wembley instead of totesport (not that i noticed)
so..
1. will betfred sponsor us next season , instead of totesport
2. will there be a betfred bookies on the ground next season, or indeed any bookies?
reason im asking is that Betfred have pulled the plug on Leeds rhinos...and im wondering what the situation is here.
apologies if this has been asked before

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

Fred owns the lot. The shops are slowly being converted to betfred and the call centre staff are now betfred employee's. |

It hasn't been confirmed yet whether they will or won't sponsor us but with the head office based in Warrington, a lot of things seem to be geared around Wire rather than anyone else (it was Totesport who used to provide the betting at Leeds for example) They also pulled put of sponsoring Hull City FC which was previosuly Totesport.
The betting slips on the ground now say 'BETFRED' on them, but whether this will continue next season, again hasn't been confirmed. May well be that 12BET (sponsors of Latics) will take over as 188BET did last year.

i fancy that was a part of the deal they had to keep.
Wasnt it before the monopolies commision or some similar government body before they sanctioned the deal?
the Tote was set up by the government (churchill?) to stop people being ripped off by unscrupulous bookies, plus the government cream a bit off and put some back into the HRB dont they?
i stand to be corrected on the last paragraph |

''Oct 28 - Dear Mr Hitman 8976200, I knowledge my glaring error in mis-identifying the Dynamite Kid's accent as cockney instead of Wigan. I am just a confused Canadian and my lack of distinction between the two accents was indeed a glaring error. Thank you for pointing out this glaring error. Now shut the hell up and move on with your life.

Totepool is staying as a section of Betfred. As part of the takeover Betfred are reviewing the sponsership deals. The call and a few other departments are staying at wigan but theres alot moving over to warrington.
Basically the only visable thing that will remain of the Tote is Totepool.... The rest of us will become part of Betfred.
