I find that very hard to believe Max!

Seriously, that figure is not only improbable, but near impossible.
If 25% of their clients are winning and paying commission and premium charges, then their bottom line and share price would be a lot better.
It also means that 25% of their clients are losing equally, but the other 50% are not winners, so where is all the money going?
Mostly commission levies and Premium Charges.
Arbers will be losing also.
It also goes against the 80/20 rule.
Are they counting once a year bettors on the Melbourne Cup or Cox Plate, or the $5.00 punters? Commonsense says that cannot be, there is a very small proportion of clients winning very large sums of money.
