Coral Eurobet plc
 PROFILE
You might find yourself in a sea of gambling debt if you play around this coral. Formerly Coral Group, Coral Eurobet is the third-largest operator of betting parlors in the UK (behind Hilton Group and William Hill), boasting some 860 shops. The company offers wagers on several sporting events, including horse races, soccer matches, and golf tournaments. In addition to its betting shops, Coral lets patrons place bets over the telephone and online through its Eurobet Web site. Founded by Joe Coral in 1926, Coral was bought from Bass (now Six Continents) in 1998 by Ladbrokes (now Hilton Group). Regulators, however, ruled against the acquisition and the betting shops were sold to Deutsche Bank subsidiary Morgan Grenfell.
