Online gambling company Betfair first-half revenue rises 15% to over €390m

Revenue for the six months to the end of October increased by 15% to £274.4m (€390.4m), despite the same period last year coinciding with a lucrative World Cup.
Betfair’s revenue wasn’t the only financial metric showing improvement during the period with earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation climbing 9% to £80.5m; operating profit up 12% to £67.2m and earnings per share of 60.3p all on the up.
