A professional betting syndicate has a contract with investors to share profits from sports bets. The syndicate receives funds from investors, places bets on sporting events and then divides any winnings in an agreed proportion between the syndicate and the investors. Is the income taxable on the syndicate?

It seems as though the syndicate is not actually gambling, and that they just receive commission on any winnings.
I'd go for taxable.
