Yeah I saw it around the time the Supreme court ruling, but like Chalky said .. to have finalised it now and it all going ahead 100% in such a quick time, shows how quick people are moving in this sector.

Agreed deal Gambling firm Paddy Power Betfair has agreed to merge with the US fantasy sports betting site Fan Duel. It wants to target the US sports betting market that is set to open up after a court decision. In May, the US Supreme Court overturned 1992 legislation that banned sports betting in most states. Fan Duel, which was founded in Scotland, allows sports fans to gamble on fantasy sports leagues and contests in American sports. The deal Under the agreement, Paddy Power Betfair will throw in its existing US assets worth $612m along with $158m of cash to take a 61% stake in the combined business. Existing Fan Duel investors will own 39%. The Dublin-based company will control the business, which will become a subsidiary. Paddy Power Betfair boss Peter Jackson said the combination would create the "largest online business" in the US gambling industry. "[We will have] a large sports-focused customer base and an extensive nationwide footprint," he said. The punters Fan Duel lets its customers bet on fantasy sport games, based around NFL American Football, NBA basketball, MLB baseball and NHL ice hockey. There are an estimated 30 million adult fantasy sports players in North America. Users pick fantasy sports teams using a fantasy budget, and play head-to-head or multi-player contests online. Players pay an entry fee for each contest and compete for cash prizes. The landscape Paddy Power Betfair entered the US fantasy sports market last year with the acquisition of Draft, a US fantasy sports site, for $48m (�35m). The Dublin-based firm already has a US division, which includes the TVG Network, a horseracing TV channel and an online betting network which is active in 35 states. Paddy Power also has an online casino and a horseracing betting exchange in the state of New Jersey. Under the terms of its latest deal, Paddy Power can increase its stake in Fan Duel to 80% after three years and 100% after five years. The deal is expected to close in the third quarter this year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44227222 Goes to show - news can come out of hours, especially with them looking for partnerships in the USA .. not one to not have at least some sort of holding in if you're thinking of chasing / trading ..

ALways safe to have a trading pot / dry Powder. I saw BSSN as soon as the RNS was out and got in .. sold out at 2p and then watched it go on and on and on thinking .. People are STILL buying into this! This won't end well at all.. Low & behold .. ! It's all good if you get in EARLY! From 8 trades since yesterday I am up 432% god knows how much it would be if I had stayed in BSSN until 4p + but I'd imagine high double figures! Anyway back to WEBIS 21m has been bought in large trades now an extra 7m maybe they're buying BBHISL Nominees Ltd stake which is at 29,651,666 ... will do a proper calculation later

Reported late so far .... So I guess no TR1 just yet as they still accumulate (Jim IMO) 7.6 668244 7.6 668244 6.55 625000 6.55 625000 7.7 625000 7.7 625000 7.721 500000 7.721 500000 7.919 423686 7.919 423686 7.95 422160 7.95 422160 7.9 400000 7.9 400000

15.3m volume and up 11.3% Lots of distractions around AIM in the last 2 days .. people returning with big profits? Said earlier market looks to be valuing around �30m until the next card is shown. Well held guys .. Still waiting for the TR1 - Friday latest IMO if nothing before hand if the big buys have slowed / stopped

can see a 1 trade in the history AIM on steroids this week

Good call

Market valuing this at 30m until licence or TR1 then I guess

chasers are now having to pay 15% - 20% premium to where they sold out to get back in

Hi Peckish .. I don't think Jim will stop buying I think he IS buying everything - Especially off the other larger holders the amounts in 2 days of large trades equate to 20 million - same size holding as Vidacos Great start 10% up on 3m traded

Took 7 mins to get filled

Just came to post the same thing r:e Nektan with their USA Partnership it's all happening in this sector! Few rainbow chasing profits to come back into here later me thinks, judging by some posts last night. Expecting a dip at the beginning before breaching 8p later on when people wake up to the magnitude of opportunity that WEB have California�s draft Sports Betting Bill specifies that only land-based racetracks and casinos will be eligible for license applications. In the United States WatchandWager holds ADW licenses not only for California, but also for North Dakota (providing regulated access to a total of 28 states), together with individual State licenses for New York, Kentucky, Colorado, Minnesota and Washington a post from Dubian99 on ADVFN "Didn't quite sink in what defined land based, every bookie is based on land in essence even with an online presence was my thought, well as highlighted the California Sports draft betting Bill excludes any applicants except racetracks and casinos, that's a bar to many a company, except Webis" Wonder how many large buys above 100,000 we see today, if we don't see many then my belief is the buyer (IMO Jim Mellon based on last nights research) Has his fill.. we've seen over 20,000,000 in the last 2 trading days, equivalent to one of the other larger share holders. Today should be good.. Good luck

Jim Mellon: Net worth � �920 million. Mellon made a huge amount of money in German property and is also one of the biggest property owners on the Isle of Man. - Sunday Times Rich List 2017 When this man has been pouring in his own money for 15 years These exponential rises are a genuine re-rate based on a gamble that operating in the USA would eventually pay off if the gambling laws ever changed. 15 years .. People on AIM can't hold for 15 days #FollowTheMoney

isn't that nice Someone not holding, coming on and congratulating people instead of being bitter and jealous and shouting PLACING (which judging by previous placings here, would be extremely welcome) or this is going down to 2p SELL!! Kudos Matador .. if you're the same Matador on Twitter, been following you for ages, I can see your also a big fan of Jim Mellon through FFWD

Cheers .. just putting 2 and 2 together really Can't believe on investegate (where I read all RNS's) they've missed years of news out .. shocking really

In fact pretty much the whole board is also a part of burnbrae Nigel Caine � Non-Executive Director - Before joining Burnbrae Group Limited in 2014, Nigel was the Chief Financial Officer for Speymill Deutsche Immobilien Company Plc. Sir James Mellon � Non-Executive Director Denham Eke � Non-Executive Chairman Apart from Ed Comins who's in the USA This is getting very incestuous.. Reminds me of being back home in Wales :D

15 years supporting the company financially, and involved and his old man on the board I personally think the big shares I've posted (especially the duplicates) is Jim buying the shares off the other big holders BBHISL Nominees Ltd & Vidacos Nominees Limited and we will see a TR1 any day Would make complete sense.. the millions he's invested here, I don't even think they benefit from anything being listed? Apart from a raised company profile amongst the investment community? Please correct me if I'm wrong cos every other POS I've invested in has a con artist CEO or some bull sh*t story lol

isn't it! Can't believe I didn't take the time to look a bit more in depth on the companies own website sooner.. Been mega busy and it slipped my mind, hyped up around the USA news more than anything. The fact that Mellon has been self funding this since 2003 is everything I need to know.
