Until Interims & clarification of our trading performance in the third quarter & expectations for the remainder of the year,possible acquisition news & the ability of Directors to increase their holdings.

With view to our SP volatility over the last week or so I would not have thought that MMs would want to be holding vast number-so the shares being sold must be earmarked for a buyer?

Thanks Bistable- I have never been a fan of Fool but happy they are tipping accompany in which I now have a large holding,following my additional purchases last Tue morning.Volatility has returned to Markets following brief respite but I consider that GBO is a special situation offering potential for a substantial uplift.Should we slip below 30p again ahead of Interims on 29th I will be compelled to buy more,as I am sure Costis will do following Interims if our SP remains very low. AIMHO

Surprised Institutional Shorters did not close on Monday @ 25-28p when they could have realised substantial profits.We are now in the run in to Results & if the view remains that we continue to trade very solidly our SP has potential for substantial further recovery.Glad to have increased on Tue am

Cannot blame those taking a 25% profit in 2 days but I believe that there is much more to go for here & I am not selling any of those which I bought on Tue morning.Our SP may slip back again ahead of Results &,if so , I will be buying even more !

per day until Interims & we will be back to our previous highs

Nothing,IMHO !MMs in control ahead of results & I believe that a SP disconnect has occurred presenting an opportunity for those Bulls amongst us to increase our positions, as I did again today.We know the Interims will be excellent & we have no reason to believe that our business has not continued growing,hopefully strongly,since the last update & as the third quarter draws to a close

Those holders among us are hoping that our SP will be much healthier by 30 Sept ,as the Interims will have been published the day before & we know they are excellent & there is no reason to believe that the trend has not continued throughout our third quarter & for an expectation for further growth over the remainder of the year. I expect that our acquisition policy will be clarified & the lingering, & very damaging,proposals for the issue of high yielding bonds will ,presumably,have been scrapped. Massive month for GBO.

Gbo did not consider it appropriate to issue a separate RNS & that may be either as they did not want to spend £500 on the RNS or that revenues will flow from the partnership but perhaps not until next year & while being great for our reputation,particularly in US,the effect on the bottom line will not be material,short term. I am hoping for more positive news,hopefully in the lead up to the results & subsequently. 33p-34p will hopefully appear to be the sale of the century,by the end of September

They want to reduce the ridiculous number of issued shares & move us away from being perceived asa rubbish Aim penny mining share.The value,in theory ,should remain the same,but I am sure that The Board are hoping that,post consolidation,our SP strenthens as it will hopefully be viewed more favorable by the Market

GVC have been a great investment for those in since & before the acquisition of Sportingbet.Directors of GVC bought decent numbers of shares yesterday & Directors of Bwin bought in there the day before ,so they clearly believe it is a good plan

In under 3 weeks will give Costis the opportunity of setting the record straight.If our SP has been slaughtered by the prospects for a major issue of high yielding bonds then I presume that he will shift strategy & try to rebuild the damage done by declaring that the bond issue is dead & that any future acquisitions will be made via a combination of cash,debt & equity.We know that the Interims will be excellent & we now need to know how business has been in the third quarter & how it looks for the remainder of the year.I may well regret buying more at these lower levels but I believe that,as long as our business continues to grow strongly,our SP should be substantially higher & I am prepared to run that substantial risk in the hope of an exceptional return

we all know that the Market is usually right but we also know that there are occasional price disparities which throw up great bargains-which is where I believe we are at with GBO.I have again increased my fairly large stake & will continue to do so ahead of Results if our SP continues to weaken. Our US competitors are valued at substantially higher levels than us despite being loss making & requiring substantial amounts of capital to continue ,with Good Technology having now been acquired by Blackberry for $425mill(more than double our current value). Our SP has more or less halved since our recent high of 62p,despite announcing strong growth in respect of Q1 which accelerated into Q2,resulting in our figures exceeding expectations.The Greek problem,while remaining,is less critical than it was a couple of months ago & the only blot on our copybook appears to be the news regarding our proposal to issue high yielding bonds to fund earnings accretive acquisitions in order to accelerate our growth. Results in 3 weeks will be excellent & there is no reason not to expect the trend to have continued into the third quarter.Directors should be able to buy again following results( & the close period) which I am sure Costis will do. He,along with the rest of we longs here,must be extremely frustrated at our abysmal SP performance which must be impeding our growth plans,currently. GBO must currently represent a substantial price disparity which could be rapidly eliminated following the Interims & as much our lowly SP is disappointing I have decided to view it as an opportunity.Of course it is high risk,but I am prepared to take that on & I will have to live with the consequences,which I hope to be very positive. 3 weeks !

Welcome Tarquinpike & lets hope that your arrival does mark the low point.Interims due in 3 weeks which should continue the very positive trading trend & may refer to trading so far this year being ahead of expectations.There also remains the possibility of deal news ahead of the Interims. Good luck to you & all of us here 1

True !!

I will buy everyone in the bar a big drink,even those I dislike intensely,on the occasion of our SP hitting 500p-not sure how long we will all have to wait !!

I would hope that following the Interims that all Directors increase their shareholdings here in decent quantities thereby sending a very positive message to the Market regarding their view of our company.

& a slightly firming SP.I decided yesterday to increase my(already large) stake further ahead of the Interims & started the process today @ just under 37p.Something has to give here & if the news remains very positive I am hoping for a substantial re rate.Alternatively,at some point Costis will throw in the towel & sell out/merge with a larger rival.

Lovely story

Agreed Jolly-our recent SP performance has been disappointing.However,Interims are due soon & should continue the optimistic theme ,assuming no changes since the last update & perhaps will be accompanied by news regarding our acquisition policy.The targets K has in mind will surely not wait for ever & may therefore be acquired by our competitors. One thing is for sure,K will not be happy either about the Market perception of our little company the question being-what can he do about it !
