Hi All,
Two 250,000 MM buys at full ask, basically they are telling the other MM's to push the price up. The same happened to YOO over the last 2 weeks, MM buys then a tick up on the S.P very soon afterwards, and they pushed the price from 11p to 17.75p in two weeks.
The first 250,000 MM buy today, didn't cause the price to tick up, so they did another, and the price ticked up. Watch out for more of these MM buys, then a tick up will follow, where they want to push the price is anyones guess, but it certainly isn't down :))))
Cheers,
PM

Interactive Channel
The Interactive channel grew gross win by 17.0% over the comparative period
primarily due to a 151% increase in income from poker, growth in arcade games,
the introduction of William Hill TV, and a solid performance from our casino
offering. Sportsbook gross win was flat compared to the comparative period.
We expanded our range of in-running betting opportunities and launched a live
betting console on our Sportsbook which enables the rapid update of in running
betting prices. We enhanced our single account proposition and our internet and
telephone customers can now bet on sports, poker, casino and arcade from a
single account. Our Arcade offering expanded to 8 games by the end of period,
and has since increased to 10 games, and our mobile service is supported by 12
handsets.
William Hill TV was launched in late 2004 and now broadcasts Australian
horseracing, greyhound racing, Brazilian football, Major League baseball, a
weekly poker show and virtual racing. We are planning to trial William Hill TV
in the shop environment later this year.
We upgraded our poker product with the addition of lower limit tables, shared
guaranteed tournament prize pools of #1 million per month and re-branded our
software. Thirty William Hill clients qualified for the World Series of Poker
finals in Las Vegas. We also announced our own William Hill Grand Prix
Tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of #450,000. The finals of the William
Hill Grand Prix will be screened on William Hill TV in December 2005.
We added 19 new games to our download casinos, including 5 new games on our Boss
Media European language casinos, and now offer in total over 130 games. We have
paid out over #600,000 in shared progressive jackpots in the year to date.
Total active accounts increased to 316,000 as at 28 June 2004 (29 December 2004:
292,000).
Costs in the channel increased 12.1% over the comparative period due to
increased marketing activities to support the growth of our poker business and
to fund the costs of William Hill TV production and content.
Cost Control
Total Group costs were #183.1 million representing a 10.3% increase over the
comparative period. Stripping out exceptional charges and those costs
attributable to Stanley Retail, costs increased by 4.6% against the comparative
period.
Exceptional Costs
Exceptional costs before tax of #9.5 million are reported in the period of which
#2.7 million relates to the installation of EPOS and new text systems, #1.7
million relates to professional fees on due diligence for the acquisition of
Stanley Retail, #2.8 million relates to the costs of the return of capital
exercise aborted earlier in the year, and #2.3 million relates to unamortised
finance fees written off on early repayment of borrowings.
By the year end, the Group expects to incur a further #15 million of exceptional
costs in respect of the integration of Stanley Retail (excluding non cash asset
write offs) and roll out of new technology in the William Hill estate."

John Hi,
ADVFN and MoneyAM mobile both show no sell volume, but I haven't had time to look closely at the trades myself, the ask is marked up way above the mid at 10.50(just this second dropped to 10.25 !), suggesting big buy order(s), and the MM's are trying to create selling, without more buying, so that they can fill the order(s).
I don't think the price will stay this low for much longer, as everyone knows the YOO growth is still there, and profit probably is too, and when the results arrive, the S.P will be 15p maybe 20p, so the profit is there to be had, it might take a week, it might take a month, but it's there all the same :)
Cheers,
PM
