I'm not actually interested in the exact figures, I just want to know the top five sports by turnover, in order. Are they published anywhere?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

I think I once read an article which said 55% of their turnover was from racing and another 35% was from football. But that was the same article that said no-one in the UK is a consistent winner, so it might not be totally believable ;)

Total guess,

Horse racing
Football
Tennis
Cricket
Dog racing

Tennis and Football must be streets ahead of anything else.

Football would be streets ahead in terms of turnover. A better guide would be commission earned though which would probably bring horse racing a lot closer.

Just email them and ask for a breakdown of your account by month and by sport.
They will send you an excel file with all your info since joining.

Sorry , misread question :-(

Super Hans is right re top 4, I'm fairly confident. Not sure about dogs, I suspect golf might be next.
Report History Maker • November 28, 2009 8:43 AM GMT
Yeah, my guess would be exactly the same - what Super Hans said except golf in place of greyhounds.

Cricket a fair way back after that

Report FatoteSport • November 29, 2009 5:54 PM GMT
Racing and Football would def be in the top 3, but I imagine Bandy would be #1 no?
