I wish people would get the hang of "times more" vs. "times as much". It can't be a coincidence that the article had figures of 250% and 750%, but said "more", which to me indicate factors of 3.5 and 8.5, which are not as round numbers as 2.5 and 7.5. I bet they meant "as likely", rather than "more likely".
