I hope there is some political will or desire to copper-fasten a guarantee to retain the exchange in much the same format. But there is surely much to worry about. Like if Paddy Power (ShadyShower) decide to dump liabilities onto the BSP markets in amounts greater than BetFairSportsbook already do, then who knows how it will affect traders.
It is many years ago since I had a meeting at PaddyPowers head office and tried to broker a deal on a football based punter/customer competition I had. They didn't bite at the time, but a few years later they did set up a Last Man Standing competition based on my format, albeit mine was to be a premium phone in comp. Ohhhhh so close lol
