PartyPoker Going Public
 

Great inspirational article about PartyPoker's founding and now going public in the UK with a market value of $10Bil

I never knew it was founded by a phone sex / porn biz gal.

interesting read i didn't know either

"At the top price, Mr Dikshit, who owns 42%, will be worth £2.1bn at the age of 33. Ms Parasol, in her late 30s, and her husband, Russ DeLeon, each own 20%, worth £1bn apiece. Billionaire status has rarely been achieved so young or so quickly."

Mr. Dickshit? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yeh Mr. Dikshit. Its Indian. And I'm sure he has a tough time ordering things over the phone.

so now the investment talk
worth to buy in or not :)

Very interesting story

Very intresting story to read! Thank you for the post.

alot ofcourse would depend on the price, if its not crazy i might give it a wack. not a ton of $, but enuff where i wont kick my self in the ass for not doing it.

"its computer servers run from there and from Kahnawake, a Mohawk Indian reserve within Canada"
I wanna host there as well ;)

Sounds like a good deal actually wonder what the feds would say about it?

I'm pretty sure that hosting for them is bp
I don't think a company like PartyGaming would host in an invironment that is unsecure for their business :)

Indians fucking rule!!

The richest man in the UK is an Indian guy (Lakshmi Mittal). He owns the most expensive private house in the world (also known as the Taj Mittal) which is located next to Buckingham Palace.

Yep, I don't think anyone can fuck with the servers on a Mohawk Indian Reservation.

I think so... now only to find out how to buy UK stocks

Indian food is good too and I just got a craving. Yummmmm.

Interesting article on it also. Says they will be looking to aquire competitors and maybe some sites that drive traffic to them. This will be big for many people.

It fucking is........ and its bloody annoying how many people think its a way to make a fast buck these days.
