Betfair-Bodog-IT-RecruitsImitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery. Bodog Europe CEO Patrik Selin knows that, as the Ongame poker network recently informed the world they thought his ideas on rakeback were the fairest of them all. Now it’s the folks at Betfair who are blowing kisses at Bodog Europe’s A.J. Thompson.

A.J. recently issued a planet-wide call for IT recruits to form a sort of technological rapid reaction Special Forces unit.
