Anyone holding these? Evil K drove the price right down and now they seem to be recovering---are they worth considering now they seem to have sorted out their finances?

maestro: I see that knowledge of the American system of government is not your strong point.

Let me help you. George Bush will leave the White House at the end of his second term, never to return, as it is prohibited by the 22nd Amendment to the American Constitution for a President to serve more than two terms. This will be in two years.

As I pointed out to you elsewhere, 69% of Americans are not "waking up fast", as you put it. What is more, the idea that the President of the United States would want to or could have orchestrated the 9/11 attacks and kept this secret is so ludicrous as to not warrant a response.

If you need any further help with this, do let me know.

Tessa Jowell's bizarre outburst will simply harden American opinion about on-line gambling.

maestro's grasp of the real world, let alone reality, is not his strong point

FONTY - 17 Jan 2007 14:41 - 288 of 465

Anybody discussing Sportingbet this month?

maestro - 17 Jan 2007 15:39 - 289 of 465

no..fed up with it!

HARRYCAT - 17 Jan 2007 16:09 - 290 of 465

Now that 365 & 888 have been swallowed up, SBT may have to start looking around to try & increase it's market share.
SBT went ex-divi 3 weeks ago. Don't suppose anyone knows if they paid a divi this time?

maestro - 17 Jan 2007 16:51 - 291 of 465

31m buy after hours...whats that about

REMOTEHELI - 17 Jan 2007 17:01 - 292 of 465

Maybe someone will swallow them up!

R88AVE - 21 Feb 2007 13:21 - 293 of 465

Has anyone seen the reason behind a 10% rise today, I have noticed PRTY is up as well....

HARRYCAT - 21 Feb 2007 14:20 - 294 of 465

No idea. 888 is also up.

FONTY - 21 Feb 2007 16:03 - 295 of 465

God I pray they both go up PRTY and SBT!

R88AVE - 21 Feb 2007 16:15 - 296 of 465

Long 37.5 this morning.... chart looks overdue for recovery, now that US stuff is out of window for now. Unless some prat decides to go to US again!

PartyGaming PLC
PartyGaming, Sportingbet Jump on Talk of Law Change (Update1)

By Amy Wilson and Sarah Thompson

Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Shares of U.K. Internet gambling companies PartyGaming Plc and Sportingbet Plc rose on speculation that laws restricting online wagers in the U.S. may be relaxed.

``There's speculation of a lifting of the ban passed by the U.S. Congress which would be good news for companies like PartyGaming,'' said Kevin Lyne-Smith, an investment consultant at Julius Baer Holding AG's private banking division in Switzerland, which manages the equivalent of $100 billion.

PartyGaming and Sportingbet were among Web gambling operators that stopped taking bets from the U.S. after Congress unexpectedly passed legislation in September that criminalized processing of credit-card payments for the industry. U.S. gamblers accounted for about 85 percent of PartyGaming's revenue in 2005.

``A relaxation in the law is seen as a possibility with talk that it is proving too onerous for banks to track illegal payments,'' said Martin Slaney, head of spread betting at GFT Global Markets in London.

Shares of Gibraltar-based PartyGaming jumped 4.25 pence, or 11 percent, to 41.5 pence in London today. The stock fell 76 percent in 2006 after the U.S. law was passed. Sportingbet shares climbed 5 pence, or 14 percent, to 40 pence, the biggest gain since Oct. 24. They slid 87 percent in 2006.

PartyGaming is scheduled to report 2006 earnings on March 1. Neither company immediately returned calls from Bloomberg News.

R88AVE - 22 Feb 2007 10:59 - 300 of 465

Sold at 42p happy with small profit, will defo watch and see how it develops

REMOTEHELI - 27 Feb 2007 16:45 - 301 of 465

I think considering todays trade, SBT has held its own very well ! I think there may be some news on the horizon for them. (could they be up for a takeover perhaps !)

moneyplus - 28 Feb 2007 10:18 - 302 of 465

my only blue one today! results look positive-the fight back is continuing.

HARRYCAT - 07 Mar 2007 09:54 - 303 of 465

Possible Offer

The Board of Sportingbet has noted the recent press speculation and confirms
that it has received a very preliminary approach which may or may not lead to an
offer for the entire issued share capital of Sportingbet.

pisces - 07 Mar 2007 11:00 - 304 of 465

If a firm offer is a possibility anyone any ideas of what price the company may be taken out at?
