I can't post in the header of a thread that I didn't start - I'll email you the html to cut and paste in if you want?

No dont skinny Chris is worried UTD will be taking Barklay away from his lot.

Politicians KEEP YOUR NOSES OUT.

Thanks skinny, only joking :O) just winding GF up LOL!!!

I think he is wound up enough this morning! :-)

Fat Daves fault I had a nice profit here before this clap trap.......humbug.

William Hill shares plunge 6% as David Cameron expresses concerns over gambling machines on the high street

He expressed concerns because that pr...k miliband keeps banging on about it and Dave's a weak leader .

i'm amazed PMQs didn't have more important subjects to discuss

meanwhile
i note that the order book (L2) is pretty balanced, and am getting tempted to buy a few more

Was because that labour MP passed away.

??????? what's that to do with the price of bananas - or slot machines for that matter?
no objection i take it to the plethora of scratch cards and similar that are on offer in all sorts of places

anyway, have just topped up by 50% at 371.6
probably a silly thing to do, but we shall see ..... so-called logic is that these falls are nearly always overdone

Best online bookie site by a country mile.

Bloody government should get on with trying to sort the economy out and stop poking it's nose in where it's not needed or wanted.

one assumes that EM or one of his cronies raised the question, and thus there was an obligation to answer it

Just had another dabble @372.3p

They have been banging on about it for a while ,not just yesterday ,i'm surprised at the fall and expect a sharp bounce at some point. As i said earlier their online business alone was recently valued at £4 per share.

Edit i'll try and find the article and post it here.

Me too, 372.9 (Mar Contract) spreads.

Me too 371.1p Looks well overdone given 420p Barclay target and it looks like them who have spooked the market...........

UK Bookmakers downgraded by Barclays Capital
09th January 2014, 14:27

Barclays Capital appears to be turning increasingly bearish on the gambling sector amid further political and regulatory concerns, especially in respect of fixed odds betting terminals.

Betfair [LON:BET] managed to escape the Barclays chop, however, William Hill [LON:WMH] and Ladbrokes [LON:LAD] weren’t so lucky.

William Hill has been downgraded to ‘equal weight’ from ‘overweight’ given the limited upside to the brokers revised target price of 420 pence per share (previously 440 pence).

Meanwhile, Ladbrokes has been added to the brokers list of stocks to avoid and downgraded to ‘underweight’ from ‘equal weight’, with analysts citing a number of contributory factors including its greater exposure to machines, risk of delays to its on-line migration and its weaker sportsbook offering.

The broker has lowered its price target by 10 per cent to 169 pence per share.

In terms of the wider gaming and gambling sector, Barclays said: “Regulatory change has always been the key driver of sentiment toward the gambling sector.

“Yesterday the Labour Party called for greater regulation of the gambling industry in the UK.

“We stress that there has been no change to regulation but we expect that this negative news-flow will weigh on the sector.”

At 2:21pm:

Betfair Group share price was up 0.5 pence at 1,080.5 pence.

Ladbrokes share price was down 11.35 pence at 168.35 pence.

William Hill share price was down 29 pence at 370.8 pence.

Betfair [LON:BET] managed to escape the Barclays chop

That's because they have no shops it's all online therefore no machines ( the crack cocaine of gambling as Miliband put it) and that is all this is about ..

Makes me laugh ,you can loose large amounts anywhere ,maybe Ed should come and have a look at my trading account today .
