William Hill Organization Limited
 PROFILE
There is always money on the line at William Hill Organization. The company is the second-largest operator of betting shops in the UK (behind Hilton Group) with more than 1,500 locations in England, Scotland, and Wales. William Hill offers wagering on most sporting events, including horse racing, boxing, and golf. In addition, it takes wagers on US sports and other events like election outcomes. The company also takes bets by phone and offers wagering over the Internet through its Antigua-based international division, which avoids Britain's betting tax. UK venture capital firms Cinven and CVC Capital Partners each own 45% of the company, while management holds a 10% stake.
