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

Results will be good Chris ,it's all the rest of the rubbish that the p...k Milliband started that could curb any big rises ,take a profit and out is my motto here ..

Agree jimmy.

Barclays Capital Equal weight 353.95 356.20 420.00 375.00 Reiterates

I don't agree this is a dog skinny ,i got stopped out in Dec because of that stuttering p...k Milliband ,their results are likely to be good but the share price will remain subdued because of the threat of legislation ,still think it's good for 20 or 30p rise myself.

Your probably right - it's not for me though.

Adverts bonanza as betting giants spend millions in race for customers

Betting companies are fuelling an advertising boom by spending millions of pounds as they rush to grab market share before a new tax comes into force later this year.

The ‘point of consumption’ tax means that even companies based in foreign tax havens will have to be licensed and taxed by the UK if they have British customers.

Companies that moved abroad to pay zero or 1 per cent tax will have to fork out 15 per cent tax on gross profits from December 1, which will cost the industry £300million a year.

Daniel Stewart has maintained its “buy” stance on shares in gambling company William Hill despite a fall in annual pre-tax profit of six per cent to £257m.

The broker trimmed its target price to 500p from 555p on the back of an 8% cut in forecasts in 2014 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation to £359m and earnings per share by 10% to 29.5p.

“However we do not find a multiple of 9.3 times 2014 EBITDA particularly demanding for a brand and business with the scale of WMH and we remain buyers of the stock,” the broker told clients, adding that the balance sheet is in “good shape at 2x net debt/EBITDA to aid further expansion and revenue from outside of the UK is growing”.

Stop to 385.3 + 34

Your staying in then Chris ?

Think it's called gambling jimmy :O) Hoping it will close gap to 400p

415p was the best it did before the problem ,if it can get over 4 quid it could go on ,i suppose see what happens Monday.

Out the spreads for now @ 395.3 + 44

As you say Jimmy, see what happens on Monday.

Well done Chris.
