Because it's in auction (again).

Buying pressure increasing - £5k on the Ask. Just topped up £2k myself but it's showing as a sell.

In other words, you missed the rise!

A £5k buy at well over the Ask!

Unfortunately it happens an awful lot with Barclays; I've taken screenshots every time the system won't let me buy or sell even though I can see trades going through on LSE. I've complained to Barclays about their Service Management.

I think you've got a safe 10% rise already!

BARX is notoriously poor when you need to trade a fast-moving stock.

Pretty good news! I think the publicity may also help win some other overseas business - the UK Tote has a very high standing in the betting world.

Agreed - very manpower intensive for little gain.

? MCAP is £174 million.

£96 million is one f***ing big parcel!

I'm no expert but I think; 1. Sportech were charged VAT at the incorrect rate over many years (on the Football Pools business). 2. Following the First Tier ruling, HMRC have paid back £93 million. 3. The outstanding £3 million will be paid if the Higher Tribunal rule in favour of Sportech. 4. If the HT rules that the VAT charged was in fact correct, Sportech will have to repay the £93 million and carry on as normal. 5. The VAT money hasn't been factored into the books, so revenue forecast will remain extant if the ruling goes against Sportech. Please feel free to comment / add any info.

53% increase in MCAP?

10 years worth of profits in one go!

The spread has dropped from 10% to 2%.

Nearly at your 30%!

The Ask can't keep up!

From 9 to 10.75 in 46 minutes! Hopefully more to come.

The estimate I've seen is £160 million (88% of MCAP). Panmure Gordon has a target price of £1.84 per share - regardless of whether it wins or not. Will see how the SP holds in the run up - got £10k on standby for a gamble.
