I see after flirting below 110 we closed flat again today with more buys than sell yet again, I wonder how long the MM’s can keep this going without letting the price go up a little again?

Hi Albus, Next Wednesday is the NJ online gambling update for Jan, so as you say I think we might get another bump after that all being well. We have lost some of our market share but in fairness that was always going to happen as the others sort themselves out and throw more money at it. What's important is our own poker player numbers have not dropped to much as an average in Jan so revenue should still is ok. Again Casino will be the unknown, perhaps a nice surprise there will also help.

Detail of the new scheme, Page 7 onwards is the interesting section. http://www.bwinparty.com/~/media/2014%20EGM/017351_bwin%20Party_Share_circular.ashx Think this will provoke many different reactions from poster on here. There are some forms here for voting but not sure which apply to the PI? http://www.bwinparty.com/Investors/ShareholderDocuments.aspx

The joke is they say the current plan is now worthless as they need the share price to hit 202p to qualify for it. Oh, well that’s alright then, no chance of the price ever hitting 202p so let’s change it!!! How about pulling their fingers out and actually trying to meet their obligation to the shareholders and themselves by RETURNING the price to where it once was. It’s not like we’re paying peanuts, 500,000 per annum is not chicken feed.

This puts more flesh on things, a couple of interesting comments on this story already, NO way should this lot be able to divorce the share price from there incentive scheme. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandconsumer/leisure/10613358/Bwin.party-calls-EGM-to-clear-pay-deal.html

100% with you on that, he's a cheeky B...

Malta, I think you may not be far off with the attractive price level theory; the FTSE did pull a bit of a recovery later in the day which BPTY mirrored to a greater extent. With no obvious news it seems investors took a punt on us, although there wasn’t a great volume of buys to show for it. Monday will give us a better picture. Albus, my commentary on the BOD yesterday was solely down the announced EGM to put forward there incentive scheme. It’s time it was solely linked to the share price rather than EBITDA which is all well and good but means little when they can’t turn a profit from massive turnover and the share price continues to disappoint. Off my soapbox now, don’t like heights : ) Any thoughts on the other RNS's re. the trust shares, I'm not sure about them?

Well, aside from the news from yesterday that Shano1 posted earlier today, I can't see anything. Really nice pull up last thing, my 109 buy is looking less sick now....

Smart recovery this afternoon, against the market as a whole. Any news?

The trustees have been changed, but it also mentions a drop in percentage terms of holdings.???

Did you notice the other RNS notifications yesterday, some movement with regards to the trust shares. What do you make of it? Looks to me like a lot have been shifted but not sure...

Thought the same thing yesterday and picked up more (for my sins) at 109, was in hopes that the markets would turn positive today, but they keep finding reasons to drag them down :(

http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=BPTY&ArticleCode=tq99rtlq&ArticleHeadline=Notice_of_EGM I have to say that any incentive plan should be drawn up against the share price going forward, it’s rich to ask investors who have had no value what so ever from this company for years now to accept any other format. We are all a bit sick of only hearing about EBITDA with no end result.

888's price bounce was short lived!! Tough market at the moment.

We've still got of lightly compared to 888, they have been shocking lately. albus, bet you're glad you never took a punt with them back in the 160's? They’ve have looked very bubble like for some time.

Congrates you two, albus, you caught that knife cleanly and malta you just took a nick. Love it!!!

We will see some more movement around 1.30 when the US pre trade, that seems the norm every day, I hope it's up not down further.

Well, you certainly went for it, I hope you didn’t blink to fast? GL

@ 13.51 today at a price of 119.1 must be looking pretty sorry now. The price fell from that point onwards along with the market overall. 888 was up 5p at one point and finished down 2.4p on the day. Talk about over reaction on both today.
