If he"s marketing around football grounds and nightclubs with this kind of material then that makes sense - if he"s just putting up the marketing in places where people are going to go because of the poker anyway then it"s going to be largely ineffective

or, arguably, may even alienate some customers.

I thought DTD was profitable now since they brought the table games in, it"s bad news if this is not true. I thought I read that somewhere, I have been searching for the link but can"t find it. I doubt DTD will go anywhere in the near future, although the tables games may have a lot to do with that.
I thought Rob only put the money in for the first few years?

I was sitting next to the man when he said it....I have no reason to doubt him.
I"m not saying that it costs him the whole £1m (there are tax write-offs etc) but you only have to do some basic maths about entries * vig vs dealer costs etc. so see that, at best, it"s breakeven.
As always, my opinions are my own...no matter how wrong they may be. :)

I"m sure you are right, just a bit surprised, I honestly thought it was profitable now. I know it was losing money for a while. A real shame if it is as you can only justify that sort of money for so long.
Scousebill:
The girls to me looked a bit tacky and the one thing that I think would entice a few more punters in would be to lower the price of the ale. £4.10 for a bottle of Bulmers was crazy. If he is trying to encourage people in to spend money as well as play cards then lower the price of the ale. People are more likely to come in an hour earlier than the start time and have two drinks rather than 20 mins before reg time and only have one drink..
