or even JD given the history Either way .. This is going to be a long time to recover to my average of £1.27 now .. I also think the BOD need to buy some shares at these levels, the IPO price was around £1 higher than here! Good luck

I also like the shop, I buy my trainers there but wouldn’t buy much else (I’m 32) Maybe it’s wow to me because I’m used to buying sh** stocks 😂

fao r1ck - http://www.chrb.ca.gov/adw.html list of 8 on the California horse racing board, bare in mind TVG is owned by paddy power

"working on the basis that everyone can join the club if you pay 10 million." - "Significantly, 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." California says only existing land based tracks and casinos will be eligible, so Jim buying Cal Expo was an outstanding decision, I can only imagine other states will also have similar rules when they first start allowing sports betting? Regarding the Pennsylvania $10m per licence, thanks for sharing, totally missed that link.

lol, MBachaan I am not saying I can't see "things" read my history, I haven't just come on here saying that. I'm long here since 2.1p and have been topping up as far as to 5.8p (2 weeks ago) and another at 4.1p last week totalling 7 different buy in points, my posts will show how bullish I am. I love this company, I think the future has ridiculous potential and as each state comes in to play, the revenue is going to get colossal, telephone number type figures. But no matter how much I look, I can't find any information about licences being worth $10m each which is what's been branded about a few times. Do you know where the value of the licenes is, please? I'd love to read it for myself

Why are people saying the licences are worth $10 million. please? I've not seen 1 bit of evidence to show this, maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

Pays off New York next please :)

I've always been optimistic about this company, but I can't stop reading this law "What we know about sports betting partnerships in New Jersey What we know about legal sports betting in New Jersey is that it can take place only in designated sports betting areas of licensed racetracks and casinos. Online betting will be permitted 30 days later, with the caveat that operators must be affiliated with a land-based licensee. That last point is the reason for the flurry of partnerships we�ve seen in the last few weeks as third-party sports betting operators look to get a skin in the game, while racetracks and casinos search for software providers to support their ambitions for digital offerings." If the big boys who aren't already operating land based race tracks or casinos, they aren't getting a licence, simple as! Operators MUST be affiliated with a land based licence .. this explains why Jim bought Cal Expo and now this reiterates the importance of the last RNS where the company is actively seeking licences. So questions about operators applying for new licences, isn't going to happen. Those with the licences (I.E WEB) are the ONLY ones who can operate. Jim Mellon = GENIUS (based on the research and articles I've read online - obviously DYOR before being accused of ramping) it's all there in black and white. https://www.njonlinegambling.com/nj-casino-partnerships-dominate-preamble-to-bill-passage/
