Firms would pick up the damage so punters not affected, probably means online operators would relocate to tax free locations

Betting almost impossible to tax on-line these days as it's so easy to bet offshore.

Powers 500 hundred jobs is a gun to head, new betting tax then no jobs.

The supposed story in Bookmaking circles is that the Rev Coms are saying that their take is down by 40% and any increase would reduce take further as Layers will just not declare all bets and money goes offshore and revenue falls.
