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?

Fred1New - with respect - do you know of some facts that back up your comment - it would help - as at least two sources recent are very upbeat about this. I normally rely on such reports ( not that they are always correct).
Thanks. p/271

Pension, I admit to following the charts more and more and buying and selling on changes in trend etc.. But before I buy I do check some of the fundamentals to try avoiding a pig in a poke. I don't think SBT is such.

I bought SBT 20/1/05 at 208 and 24/1/05 at 221p selling 7/3/2005 at 332p. I have been following it fairly regularly since but the trend to me is still down
There is a bounce to-day but I would wait for further evidence of trend change. ICV I believe from memory was a little luke warm to the "gaming online" shares a few weeks back, although i still think they are good cash delivering possibles. I stand to the side for a little while.

Thanks Fred1 - p/271

SBT have Q3 results out on June 2nd ,, does anyone have any info

On the 6/4/2005 M Blandford (DCH) sold 6.5 million. Not sure why but a little suprised the share price hasn't dropped further. I don't at present hold any. Just watching.

It,s on the up, but thats worth further research , thanks Fred.

held these for years since they were Rodime, still looking for a takeover-lol!!!

Added more of these today - Great future!

dikytree.

Added again!

dikytree - just to make you feel that you are not alone - been with SBT for long time now and have been adding on , on any weakness - lets hope early June rewards the patience.

With such good results other day and high up predictions as well - it is difficult to understand the drop in price - can anyone throw some light as to why??? p/271

Perhaps the pending arrival of Party Poker on the scene.

Problem solved for the time being - we're now moving north again.

Anyone know why this is shooting up again? Poised if it breaks through 350 ..

As above Chiva. Party Poker floats on Monday 2-3 times oversubscribed. Spotlight is on the sector and doubts over SBT while the Party book was being filled have now evaporated. SBT has some catching up to do. Through resistence at 300 and 320, now onwards and upwards to 350 and new highs. Nice!

The whole gaming sector seems to have been marked down today. As far as I can see only due to the detention of the BSS CEO on his way to Costa Rica via the US mainland !!!!

With SBT marked down by 11% at around the 286p level this appears to be a opportune time to stash a few away.

This is blatent manipulation. drastically oversold. STINKS.

The market makers have marked everything down to scare people into selling. The mark down will trigger some stop losses so that foolish PI's will also get stung.

Once today is out of the way then everything will get marked up tomorrow.

Have bought three tranches today at 286, 288.5 and 292.25p.

Fully expect 300p + tomorrow (possibly even later today).

Don't the Yanks make you want to laugh (with appologies to the genuine ones!)

In a note to clients, Canaccord said the move is likely to be 'politically motivated'.

The broker said it it is too early to say if this is part of a broader strategy on the prevention of Internet gambling in the US or if it is the Department of Justice 'flexing its muscle and trying to influence legislation'.

So when are they going to nuke Las Vegas??!!!!!

Breaking news of BETonSPORTS plc CEO David Carruthers's detention in Miami travelled lighting fast this morning, shocking the entire gaming industry and negatively affecting gaming stocks on the UK Stock Exchange. TheOnlinewire.com Costa Rica and U.S. sources report that Carruthers' detention is unlikely related to the online gambling ban (HR 4411) approved by the House last week but is more likely related to the federal investigation on BETonSPORTS's former owner Gary Kaplan.

It was known within the industry that Gary Kaplan was under federal investigation for his actions while at the helm of BETonSPORTS before the company went public in 2004. Sources report that federal authorities want to clearly identify possible criminal activities directly related to credit business ran by BETonSPORTS at the time Kaplan was at the helm of the company.

According to the same sources Carruthers' detention is related to the mentioned federal investigation. Investigators believe Carruthers might be in possess of information that could lead to Kaplan's indictment.

Gary Kaplan is rumored to be the real main man behind Igotsportsbook.com, a sportsbook established last year after Kaplan sold his remaining shares in BETonSPORTS.

If this arrest is indeed relating to Gary Kaplan then all the other gaming companies that were hit today will recover strongly tomorrow.
