William Hill Merger Plan Hits Serious Hurdle : https://www.ft.com/content/f0f47190-916c-11e6-a72e-b428cb934b78 Bookmaker’s Largest Investor Opposes £4.6bn Tie Up with Canada’s Amaya

Government Backs Down on Proposed Ban on Greyhound Racing : SYDNEY (AP) An Australian state premier has backed down on a ban on greyhound racing instead deciding to increase measures designed to reduce the risk of animal cruelty. New South Wales state premier Mike Baird faced a strong backlash to the ban after it was announced in July, and relented to the opposition on Tuesday. Baird initially said that his government had no alternative but to impose the ban, which had been due to be introduced in July next year, after a state parliamentary inquiry found overwhelming evidence of cruelty. He said subsequent feedback showed the majority view was that the industry should be given another chance. "We didn't give the good people in the industry the chance to respond, a chance to reform," Baird said. "On behalf of that, I am sorry. That is something we should have done."

Just seen the BBC World News ... Commercial Greyhound racing to be BANNED in [NSW] Australia as from 01 July next year. Okay - let's have an investigation and a bloody good shake up if that's found to be necessary.

knee jerk reaction?

Hi chrisma - Anyone answering your question would be doing so based on speculation. For what it is worth ... anything can happen ... your 'theories' are probably just as good as anyone else's - depending on how much you paid to get into here. When I say that ... anything can happen ... here's a surprise move ''that could'' affect the long term strategy of Ladbrokes. Who knows? ''888 and Rank Group join forces to bid for William Hill'' http://www.lse.co.uk/ukMoneyNews.asp?code=cm5am0p1&headline=888_and_Rank_Group_join_forces_to_bid_for_William_Hill I'm nicely in profit here so will be holding on to my shares - Good Luck

Latest Ladbrokes Odds - Next Permanent Tory Leader: Theresa May .................... 4/11 Andrea Leadsom .............. 4/1 Michael Gove .................... 8/1 Stephen Crabb ................ 25/1 Liam Fox .......................... 40/1 I really do fancy a modest £20 @ 8/1. I think that Theresa May - but Michael Will.

'BH57' - I am glad that you posted again. Sorry for my far too hasty reply to your post of 16:40 Friday. I should have paid a lot more attention and read through the links that I posted. Yeah! - Your 'Tesco post' made me chuckle. I had shares in Tesco (many) years ago. I had shares here too - sold at a profit - but I am back in again. Good Luck with yours. But honestly - I'm letting my shares lie and waiting of a 200p sp. That's when I'll think about what to do next. Top slice would be an option? Hi 'titanium_man' - (great name for a 'Marvel Comics' super hero!) Your post threw me ... 'Im also holding Ladbrokes' ... no apostrophe, - so is that Im (as in I am) or 1m (as in 1 million?) - L o L

'But with much more money bet on remain than leave - - the bookies are likely to turn a large profit' (the Guardian) (Quote) Matthew Shaddick - Ladbrokes’ head of political betting: 'This vote worked out very well for us' Speed reading isn't always a good idea. I should have paid a lot more attention - its been a long day!

I have just clicked onto your name and read your post from 8th March regarding Tesco. This has got to be THEE post of the century. Had me 'rolling about' with laughter. Seriously mate - I wish you Good Luck - and thanks for the chuckle. Do yourself a favour and buy 'a few' of these shares.

Not so : http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-24/how-did-the-bookies-get-it-so-wrong-ladbrokes-tries-to-explain + https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jun/24/bookies-got-eu-vote-wrong-ladbrokes-says + I wonder if they will publish how much of a loss?

.... but quitting (quit) whilst ahead. All the Best and Good Luck to All.

sorry about the double posting ...

point taken - you are quite right - commiserations and good luck to you all
