Hi Crooks and also flagging are the pesky Winapox. They seem to have contaminated our Party.fr figures which were improving nicely until a fortnight ago. Dont like the way Poker is going for us in Europe - getting nervous about this aspect now - its not like we have a position of strength in Europe now.

Crooks , youre right a deal has been done but there must still be 9% left. If the price was say 124 then the balance is unlikely to be picked up for less than 130 which is where we are now. Even if Truffles likes to sit back the others will not. Intriguing what will happen next. What will we see from NJ regarding inter state strategy.

WN - It depends now what the sp of the Springowl deal is - and not much else IMO - and possibly what MGM Borgata plans are - I guess they are not exactly over the moon about Springowl future presence on our board - will there be a counter proposal - this would result in lift off and be very exciting - the California carrot is dangling

Some of the brokers had a 145 target before the Springowl News. I am not sure where the other 4 brokers get their 170 and 200 targets from. Can they foresee something that others cant - I would like to the the information that instigates their conclusions. The sp chart starting to look wonderful since Feb 12. I wonder where the next 2 weeks take us - the next big buy fill order will be interesting. 140 will be great and 150 before results may take me to the exit door

Heading that way - anyone top slicing ?

Springowl share stake purchase (6%) to be confirmed - and the price - large trades also coming in. Q4 results next and of course when our crew have top sliced. Not been above 130 for some time now - our climbers sometime suffer from lack of oxygen going up the hill and have to go back down now and again to look at the ground and take a deep breath

Great ... ..... Market share eroding away in Poker - WSOP about to overtake us in NJ . Winamax pasting us in Europe

The other theory is that regarding USA and online gaming and Adelson - not everyone in that camp agrees the principle to oppose and can also foresee the situation in 5 years time

thanks Crooks - meanwhile the sp goes up which we don't mind. Emerge the White Knight in shining armour and then we will be reaching for the Oxygen and Smelling salts

If Adelson is prepared to spend a billion for hs anti online gaming campaign surely he can buy anybody to run it into the ground. Maybe I am being naive but Ader could well turn his attention away from Las Vegas Sands and what they are doing to pursue his Activist Investor interests. If the theory is from Abelson " hello Joe here is a spare 50m dollars out of the petty cash - run along and ruin Bwin " - then what is he going to do with Caesars and the others. Doesnt sound a very credible business model. I havent read the C Ayre stuff yet but I can guess what it says as soon as I found out Ader was with LV Sands

It could be all about what the sp of the deal is. Who are they buying off is it Ruth or Jim or a bit of both. The question then arises what happens to the other 9%

K. - You are a Gentleman. Must admit I got it wrong on Dufferturder - I thought he had cleared the decks of bad apples only to discover he seems to be without a core himself. Hope this rises and you can get something out of the gambling stocks. Need Montyblonde to analyse the My Tent ; Fly ; Connor situation for Cheltenham but not sure where to find him

Jason Ader quote ...."Generally, companies get complacent, boards get complacent," said Ader. "When you have a board running a business like caretakers, they forget they're supposed to be creating value for shareholders." He added that a lot of companies have stock-piled cash during rough markets. That means, in other words, it's time for a shake up.

WOW - Jason Ader is also a director at Las Vegas Sands it says on my search !!!!!!!!!!

Numis are re-iterating 200p today !!! . I do not take much notice of these things but its better than one of the downers - they are pathetic giving broker comments after the news good or bad

Hi Crooks , possibly a good day - been nervous lately. By the way I have totally forgiven Kamel and removed the filter a while ago. Its funny how one can change - I guess having been shot at on another board made this place feel like home in comparison. Maybe Kamel may come in if LAD or someone goes down the pan or our leader commits harry curry

Malta, please keep your eye on this - I am up to my eyeballs in it - at work so cant stay trained in . is Crooks about. Looked at the France figures which were totally messed up by Pokerscout. We are actually doing bloody well over there - Dufferturder must have gone nowhere near for fear of being arrested.

Havey - should there be an RNS on this - cant see anything

Havey , WN - great find - Some good news we were looking for - is it a signal for a significant rise - any predictions - Malta - what price to top slice - any thoughts ?

Gentlemen, thank you for your posts and comments and our love hate relationship with this company is well documented. However inept our leadership is - Wingnut has made a good point - MGM Borgata will not sit on their asres like our lot - I can smell the blowtorch burning from as far away as Luton. We could easily get a spike when something positive comes from US - there are forces with us.
