The domain excellent, but with pages full of duplicate content, I don't think any amount of incoming links will get you there.

My advice to Rand is to go for it, £5 million is a lot better than SEOmoz’s turnover last year of only $600k and a profit of $64k.

This industry has quietned down a bit since the US regulation but is still pretty massive.

Good luck, I am personally against promoting gambling having been addicted a couple of years back. But it would be a great SEO exercise.
