Veteran of the sportsbetting industry, WSEX, is allegedly going down according to Gambling911. Reports of their slow demise have been emerging for a while now, surely there comes a time when you just have to just pay up, and close down?
Australian telco Telstra is said to be discussing acquiring a 25% stake in racing TV network TVN according to sources.
