888 has over 20 million users and 790 employees? :blinkie: ...and PartyGaming has a larger market cap than British Airways? :blinkie: I didn't realize that online gambling had gotten that big.

Speaking of PartyGaming, its shares plunged 33% this week after it reduced growth estimates...that is a loss of about $3.4 billion in market capitalization.
They still managed to generate revenues of over $430 million in the 1st 6 months this year. :blinkie: ...make that a double shocked smilie :blinkie: :blinkie: that people spend that much playing online poker. http://news.independent.co.uk/business/n...310837.ece
