Lad-broke

Terrible numbers again at Ladbrokes - where the once lucrative high-roller business seems to have tumbled over a fence. Presumably this means that the Sultan of Brunei (and family) really have closed their account.

Ladbrokes goes plural

I read that Ladbrokes is suffering as its wealthy punters rein in spending. Is that really punters plural?
Betting industry gossips have always reckoned that high-roller profits at Ladbrokes are mostly derived from a single customer - supposedly the Sultan of Brunei.
