Re: Take over Parvus, who took their holding above 17% in March, may be our best hope on this front. Not sure anything will happen though until the much delayed report on FOBT is released.

Take over Anything below 250p means a 20% take over premium takes it to just 300p. Their own management seems to be completely rudderless for the modern era. I wonder if selling the Israel thing is something they are doing to clear the decks of unwanted peripheral stuff, to enable the suitor who may already be known, to come in with a cleaner slate to work with.

Re: 888 All bookmakers offering bets to Uk customers should be regulated by the gambling commission. If people use an entity that isn't then they do so at their own risk, if they are not willing to be regulated what says they will pay you your winnings?For a long time the gambling commission has been seen as pretty toothless, light touch, low fines, think with new leadership it's slowly changing. Good to see them pushing through multi operator self exclusion and also launching investigations into breaches.Still much needs changing. As I have said before consumers have no redress but the courts for breaches by operators on responsible gambling. You cannot complain directly to the regulator but must complain to the independent arbitrators. But they refuse to deal with responsible gambling issues! Disgrace.

Re: 888 Does anyone know what 888 are supposed to have done? For all the talk of giant fines I can't find anything that details what they are charged with. As for the GC, perhaps they could get back to suggesting ways that they can regulate Asian firms betting on British racing taking bets from British punters.

888 Interesting developments at 888 with regards to a review of their responsible gambling policies. Good to see the GC actually taking action, although why they don't deal with consumer complaints still on responsible gambling is beyond me? It leaves the consumer with no redress but the courts as IBAS refuse to deal with matters on responsible gambling.Wait until the long heralded multi operator self exclusion comes in next year. I suspect that will have a dramatic impact as currently somebody who self excludes from one operator can just find another one they are not excluded from.

Re: Fun and Games Also, why is retail margin down when last year included the bloodbath at Cheltenham, which went quite well this year? It can't ALL be explained by comparative football results.

Fun and Games Nice of WMH to put their quarterly figures out using Sudoku format again. I really can't be bothered to work them out again, which I suppose was the object of the exercise. Does anyone know when we moved our digital office from Old Street in London to Krakow?

Tuesday Updates These aren't always interesting as they are normally qualified, be they good or bad, by statement saying that the board expects results to even out. This time Betty Power have had a mini-profit warning as other companies are taking on their headline grabbing loss leaders - They had 3 rivals paying first 8 in the recent Open golf. Lad/Cor blame High Street conditions for a 15% drop in retail takings. Nothing about their rights squabbles that have led to them not having any British live racing some days and missing big meetings on others. Perhaps they could start betting on how many people go elsewhere when the Lingfield race they have just bet on has no pictures or commentary. Anything other than a double figure drop in the quarterlies will be good news for WMH.

Naughty Misleading MPs Slaughtered by Parliamentary Standards The recent MPs "report" into FOBTs , which proposed a £2 maximum stake, has been shown to be misleading by the Parliamentary Standards Committee according to The Guardian this evening. The MP's were far from impartial and somehow forgot to mention funding from casinos and amusement arcades which would benefit directly from the "recommendations" It apparently briefed the press that the report had some form of parliamentary authority. when in fact it had no such thing. It was the work of a PR company with vested interests,but that was never mentioned.
