patrik-selin-predictionsThe results are in for our finally weekly poll of 2010. We asked which company CalvinAyre.com readers thought would have the most successful 2011. Success can mean several different things so we left it up to our readers to define and choose the company that will have the most success in 2011 by their definition.

Receiving the most votes was Bodog Europe with 29% of the total votes cast. Perhaps people believe CEO Patrik Selin’s hiring policies will put them at the top of the heap for 2011.

Following Bodog Europe, there is a tie with two companies taking 16% of the vote. First is Bet365, which topped the eGR’s Top 50 in 2010, looks primed for another successful year. Second is Betfair. Betfair has a solid business model, despite their decision to go public, 16% of voters believe they will have a great 2011.

888.com, who is in takeover talks with Ladbrokes, received 8% of the vote.

In a three way tie with 4% of the vote was Paddy Power, William Hill and the merging Party Poker-Bwin entity.

As we couldn’t put all of the companies poised for a successful 2011, our readers gave the second most amount of votes to “Other Company”. With so many votes going to the nameless, we feel the need to find out who specifically 18% of our readers are talking about. If you voted for other, please feel free to name the company in the comments and why they are poised for the most successful 2011.

Which Company will have the most successful 2011?
Bodog Europe – 29%
Bet365 – 16%
Betfair – 16%
888.com – 8%
Paddy Power – 4%

    I am sure this was influenced by the fact that all bodog employees are smart enough to have this as their primary news site. But really….what possible site are the rest of the sites reading for actual news that you can make decisions on?
