http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/william-hill-renegotiate-sportingbet-approach-200839255.html Have to admit, the Telegraph is usually right. Didn't sell when I should have done so am hanging onto them. I am sure one day, someone will either buy them, or the share price will correct itself.

Online gaming group Sportingbet eased 0.25p to 50p as it awaited further bid news. William Hill (1.6p off at 328.9p), Britain’s biggest bookie, has been given until December 4 to submit a formal bid for Sportingbet following a £530m bid approach. Discussions continue between Hill and joint bidder GVC Holdings. They won provisional backing from the Sportingbet board last month for a cash and share approach, valuing Sportingbet at 61.1p a share. Word now is Sportingbet’s institutional shareholders would bite Hill and GVC’s hands off at that price and would even take a few coppers less. Why? Apparently, recent trading has been dire and should the bidders decide to walk away, a profits warning could well be on the cards. Where would the share price be then? Oh dear not sure what to do.

Will someone please explain what this is all about and what it means. Thanks in advance

is starting to bore me.

Good luck with them.

Its always a moot point when to sell. Sold my ARM yesterday for 624.50. I have learnt over the few years of investing, that it is always good to take a profit if one is satisfied with it. Timing could, of course have been better - should have sold them today. One can always be wise after the event, but who could tell, their price could just have easily gone down today. Am spending my ARM money on Caterpillar - share price is way down - and they pay a dividend.

Thanks for the advice. Have put a sell price in for 623. Wil wait until they fall to low 500's and then buy again.

Any ideas? Have bought twice - at 565 and 516 so am nicely in profit now. Should I be greedy and hang on a bit?

Why hasnt the share price gone up to 61p. Is this because we will be getting some cash and some shares? Think I will hang on in the hope that another bid comes. Quite a few articles I have read, seems to think that a bid of up to 90p is on its way.

Was also contemplating a "top up" the other day, but it would have meant me selling something else so didnt think it worthwhile. However, I did buy on the big drop so am now in profit, thank goodness. Have you seen their new store on Regent Street - very impressive. Also thought they had some nice stuff in there, lots not typically Burberry which I think is good.

Yes but today there are 73% buys and 27% sells. Very confusing.

Come on Penfold01, let us all into your secret.

If an offer comes for 60 p would one sell? Have their been any serious rumours of others bidding? Would one expect the offer to be made at the last minute i.e. 16th October or before.

Does anyone know when the next dividend is due?

Thanks. I will take your advice and wait - (with baited breath I might add).

Does one take ones profit and go, or does one hang on in there hoping for a price above 60 p. I bought at 40p so perhaps I shouldn't be greedy. On the other hand, I will be kicking myself if they get sold for 100 p a share. What do all you experts think?

why the share price is going up so much?

like a yoyo - does anyone know what is going on? Why the great fluctuation in price?
