In the same vein, the interim General Manager of Padddypaddybet, Alexander Ezekiel, said emphatically that one of the most encouraging aspects of paddypaddybet.com is that, unlike other betting companies, ”we give 50% on profit and empower our agents to make our them happy, as an agent, if you bring in an impressive amount of money in your fir
