Where do you think they will go to or should i sell now

Nice one deutsche bank,thats a safe bet.

Going well of late & almost there.

Still strong at this betting shop.

Time to take the money off the table, I don't like this hand any more.

"William Hill to buy back up to 300 mln stg shares as H1 pretax drops 17 pct
AFX


LONDON (AFX) - William Hill PLC posted a 17 pct decline in first-half earnings as the owner of Britain's largest chain of betting shops, in common with other bookmakers, was hit by a run of unfavourable sporting results.

The company, which owns over 2,100 betting shops after recently buying 624 outlets from Stanley Leisure PLC, simultaneously laid out plans to buy back between 200 to 300 mln stg of its own shares over the next 18 months.

Profit before tax fell to 99.7 mln stg in the six months to June 30 from 119.7 mln on turnover up 30 pct to 5.1 bln."

You beat me to it SW,,,,,,,,,,unfavourable sporting results!!!!!

Still a hold for me.

Dave I thin k this will drop down again as it did after the finals.

It will become another buying opportunity then.

Just my thoughts and often wrong.,

Looks like a buying opo to me...In at 5.79p.

Nice one stan,in at 4.92 early june looking to sell for about 6.00,,cant be long now.

Hiya Dave,

As usual only looking for a short term gain

then I'm out, which I hope this drop will give me.

WHM,looks a good one to play with stan,i mite look at this as a day trading stock in the near future.

Up 19p so far, didn't know share buy backs were so popular....but not complaining.

Yet again another good profit from this bookie 6.00 and out happy days.

Well done Dave.....always nice to take money off bookies.

Tempted Again,just a bit to go yet.

Too much negative sentiment in there at the moment for a stock that sticks to the knitting, has cash, buys back shares and pays a good dividend. The staff seem happy enough and the Grand National brought more punters in than in previous years. Once World Cup fever takes over and if England do OK (but not win) then this will be a much talked about stock. I see WMH going to 7 with a fair bit of it happening in the next 4 months.

Ladbrokes is the better bet (so to speak).
I think it goes xd tomorrow when qualifying shareholders will get a total dividend of 240p per share (233p from the sale of Hilton Hotels).
Then there will be just be a betting company left with one of the most respected brand names in the industry.
Takeover rumours are sure to resurface again at this point.

Ian

Fantastic call on ladbrokes lanayel! Both up 10% in 3 weeks though lad ahead. Thats the camping holiday covered in a months time - if only the wife appreciated how clever we are! Then again, protherics letting me down badly.

Gone ex-divi & now dropped to it's 12 month low. This has been a good support level over the last 2 years & now a possible bounce on the cards. If not, tentative support at 550p, otherwise 500p looks to be the next step.

this is another steal at these levels
