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

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.

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

440p next resistance..

"Credit Suisse has this morning upgraded its stance on William Hill and Ladbrokes but cut targets.

In a review of the European gaming sector published today, its analysis showed the industry to be particularly resilient through challenging economic periods.

In a note to clients, Credit Suisse said it has upped its recommendation on William Hill to 'outperform' from 'underperform', while it has reduced its target price to 500p from 580p, saying that the current valuation looks particularly cheap."

Thanks for that Harry.

get in before boat sails,dyor

bottom fishing for me.

400p is proving difficult to break.

Profits as expected.

Paddy Power's results due next Monday seem to have more growth potential.

William Hill PLC's new chief executive Ralph Topping has categorically ruled out the possibility of Britain's second-biggest bookmaker pursuing a merger with Irish rival Paddy Power PLC.

A compulsive gambler has lost his bid at the High Court to force bookmaker William Hill PLC to repay his 2 mln stg losses, according to the BBC.

Greyhound trainer Graham Calvert had claimed the company failed in its 'duty of care'. He claimed William Hill had let him place bets even after he asked it to close his account under a self-exclusion scheme.

However, a judge ruled on Wednesday that the bookmaker was not liable for the losses or any personal injury damages.

Reason prevailed then! I think there would have been a flood of similar claims had the ruling gone the other way. I wonder who paid his legal costs if he is so hard up???

Probably the DHSS...lol.

Looking at the chart then a breakout above 420p and a subsequent pull back and bounce would be the safest / lowest risk entry point imo.

Good luck.

I will buy circa 300p by which time the divi will be 10% plus.

Forget 300p this is going to 400p again.
