[the white house] 19/4/2024 15:55

Nah, 70pc of profits William Hill, 888 as a name has had its day

[blackhorse23] 19/4/2024 12:53

New name will devalue the business & requires huge marketing cost to promote new brands

These people that sit in boardrooms and have nothing better to do than tinker at the edges with things like name changes really grind my gears. Sort the bloody business out first please, your shareholders have seen the share price halve and more in recent times.

The name change probably will not happen as the Rhetoric from the board changed to possible name change. The major shareholders HOLD a large part, probably they would vote against it as their family came up with 888. A bit of a misstep from the person not asking them first

Moving on Results slightly up on Guidance forecasts. Retail Review was down 7% which was to be expected from regulation headwinds. With Retail in Q3 to Q4 to pick up as smaller operators move away and the more staple William Hill picks up the business. This is due to the introduction of measures that will be somewhat too restrictive for online customers through 2024.

888 Holdings moving into Q2 probably will see the implementation of VCP and synergies becoming more apparent through cost savings and the partnerships with A. I group.

A name change to Evoke will confirm the 75p downgrade in the shorts list.

[hope1815] 19/4/2024 08:40

Any name change is a gamble the Tilte "Evoke" meaning to bring to mind or recollection. this place evokes memories. Also, to close to Woke go Broke with Evoke.

8 shares its shape with the symbol of infinity. It is a number that comes blessed with positive energy, the power of transitions, and the possibility of infinite abundance.
888 Collectively is more Favourable.

The name change in a historical sense does not work. There are too many examples of name changes where they failed.

The money spent is best put towards debt, growth, or other areas. William Hill is, in a Historical sense more important than a gimmick.

If the CEO thinks the name MAY make a difference, probably the first stupid move he will make.

I will not vote for it, it is wrong when the group has many names they could promote in advertising than EVOKE.

What's wrong with the name?

[trying2trade] 19/4/2024 07:05

[oneillshaun] 18/4/2024 16:17

Then sell.

Hi folks, I am new to this chatspace and investing. I recently invested in 888 at 85p and am now super worried. Did I make a mistake? In your experience what is likely to happen in the short to medium term?

The new Titanic they are building apparently is going to have more lifeboats than the last

and it seems the "888 shareholder" lifeboats are getting fuller by the day as the dream of a
"Newfoundland of betting opportunities " goes on the rocks and 888 becomes "dial 999"

there are a lot of Man City Leicester/ Leeds Portsmouth Stockport accumulators out there with the trade generally in fact not far from a re-run of the "secret" disaster (weekend of 16 Sep 2023 revisited ?)

[baldrick1] 18/4/2024 09:43

Still 75p on shorts list

[hope1815] 17/4/2024 21:58

Short update Marshall Wace Llp 0.99% -0.01% Decrease
Total 1.69%

On the share side news on Mr Green in Denmark probably had a slight impact. 888 Holdings probably will update its AML protocols.

Still 75p on the shorts list..???

[baldrick1] 17/4/2024 07:59

Predictive texting..total nuisance ;))

Re: Share your proof??

The fact is (a) 888 around 6 weeks ago formed a formal relationship to get some company to get the winnings into the on line accounts quicker ( we might be talking about seconds here -guessing) - (so they can quickly lose it)

"hope" can do the homework on it

(b)
however around 2 months ago i read an article on the internet (u tube) when a shop punter had around 3 cash bets in one shop SAY ONE OR TWO THOUSAND A TIME BET ( he ended up videoing his interaction with the shop staff- AND DUMPING IT ON THE INTERNET) some or all won at small odds and 888 LITERALLY "created their own grand national course" - "put up continual hurdles" to delay paying him



The person got his own MP involved in the end the case is out there if anyone wants to find it --- I think the bets were on tennis from memory
