driver thanks

the shares come to the market this morning i have picked up 30000 in the offer did anyone else show interest ?

Yup, I picked up a few as well. Trading at 4p to sell, 4.5p to buy just now, so showing a small premium to the 3.5p price paid to Catalyst.

Gambling seems to be the flavour of the day just now, so I thought I would have a punt myself!!! This one might really fly, if they get their on-line business started, and with a bit of luck the future will be very profitable.

Good luck Woodie.

People are not seriously thinking of investing in this company are they?

This should be your first warning sign

And the business model is terrible IMHO. I could replicate it in five minutes.

neil thanks do you have epic code as i cant find it cheers. scripophilist which model is in trouble ?

the code is ubt nice buying at the moment

I just can't believe that such a low quality issue can get off the ground. How much did they raise?

5 mill

a strong rise after todays news is there more to come

LOL! Sorry to be a cynic but....

I have a commercial API license for Betfair which I use actively every day on the market. I am well known to Betfair. But that doesn't make me worth a fortune or allow me to raise 5m from punters. This sort of outfit really makes me really want to come to market. I could tell such a good story.

Anything to do with gambling sells these days.Many of the companys concerned don't even bother with accurate financial details....just spin about how many new members logged on last month etc....They all seem to be registered offshore.
The U.K. ones go on about deregulation as if it is already guaranteed. American sites are treading on thin ice because of the problems in controlling this form of gambling,which is considered illegal.
Gambling is seen in the same light as smoking ,by regulators....i.e. it is bad for your health and affects your family too!(Worse of all,it is tax free).
It is tempting to get on the bandwagon,but the more research I do,the more I realise what a crazy bubble this is.Oh well,with factory orders in the U.K. falling for the last three months plus the oil squeeeeeeze, gambling is where the money is at the moment.
I shall certainly have a punt on Betfair if it comes to market....that will roar up.
LOL..Ethel

scripophilist i agree gone up to fast looking to offload when next rns is announced re poker site was offered these at 3.5 so nice profit only paper profit at the moment.

another strong rise today profit taking must set in soon.

RNS Number:5300P

29 July 2005

ubet2win plc ("ubet2win" or "the Company")
strikes deal with Betfair


ubet2win, which commenced trading on AIM last Thursday, July 28th, announces
that it has signed a contract with the betting exchange expert Betfair, which
will enable its clients to bet on a number of sports under the ubet2win name.
The contract is a Commercial API License which allows ubet2win to access the
Betfair API (Application Programming Interface) to manage its business more
efficiently and profitably.

The deal will also enable ubet2win to place and hedge its own bets via the
Betfair API.

ubet2win chief executive Gerry French said: "We are delighted to announce such a
striking deal. Betfair is an acknowledged leading expert in its field and this
agreement will be of great benefit to both companies.

"It means we have got off to a cracking start in developing our strategy
designed to offer our clients the best service available in on course and
internet betting".

Betfair Head of Product Development Tom Johnson said: "The API is a powerful
software interface that gives bookmakers like ubet2win tremendous new
opportunities."


i thought i would put the rns statement from the other day as noone as done yet.

Hi Woodie, this RNS is a farce. Anybody can apply and get an API licence from Betfair this is no deal. They have bought a licence from Betfair nothing else. Hundreds of people own a license. I own a license. If you want one phone Boris on 0208 834 8283.

I would be very wary of a company that dresses up buying a software license as a deal, there is little other than hype behind this company.

I thought this was hilarious on their web site. Released on April fools day.

"Next race meet at Ascot - The next meet UBET2WIN are holding pitches is at Ascot from 3rd to 5th April 2005 Come along!"

I live near the course and this is what the course looked like in April.

The course closed in October 2004 for a near on two year re-development.
