What are the odds?
A bit of a laugh ahead of the Christmas break. Vote now!
Back when I joined Betfair, nearly 12 years ago now. They sent me a nice diary for my patronage. I didn’t generate much commission for them back then and didn’t write articles, design software for use on Betfair or anything like that. The following year I also received a small gift, and so it continued. Calendars, playing cards and the odd email with seasonal greetings.
About four or five years ago (I can’t remember exactly when) this stopped abruptly and since then, not even an email to wish me a Merry Christmas.
So this year, as I have done in all prior years, I rolled up my sleeve and sent all my key contacts a personal greeting card. I extended this gesture to the board of Betfair as well.
So the poll this week will be a seasonal… “How many Xmas cards will Peter get from Betfair?” – Vote now!
I’m putting this post up to give Betfair a fair chance to send me a card. I know you can afford it this year for sure and while I am grateful for the opportunity that Betfair presents to us all, I’m sure it’s not beyond your capacity to show some seasonal goodwill. I’ll update everybody on the result in the new year.
In meantime I’ll just read through this bulging sack of greetings from other companies and people.
P.S. A funny footnote to this post. I was searching for “mail man sack” and up popped a load of images of Blackburn manager Steve Kean.
