Hills report half year figures on 5th Aug and analyst expecting another decline ?
With no PTEC they desperately need an online presence , maybe back in for 888 at what would be a much higher price than they were prepared to pay last time .

Moral of the story - do not mess with PTEC - Hills got too big for their boots and underestimated the PTEC effect that LADs are now reaping.

Very poor management - I hold Hills but really should have sold the second they kicked PTEC out of bed

William Hill has begun another review of its online operations only six months after it claimed that it had drawn a line under problems with its digital platform. KPMG has been called in to conduct a strategic review of the bookmaker's business with a focus on the online and technology operations. - MailCould be the reason for today's rise

Dividend Curr. USX.

[shayadfn] 17/5/2016 11:40

My divi equated to 8.16 pence per share

[rbcrbc] 17/5/2016 08:36

With at total divid of 12c and an exchange rate of about 1.28 I would have expected 9.375p ???

[frankiethecabbie] 16/5/2016 19:52

I was around that figure as well

[rbcrbc] 16/5/2016 17:56

How much dividend did people get - I got 8.16327p per share ??

[cyman] 13/5/2016 08:15

The buyer of all those shares should be releasing an rns by Monday latest. One of the transactions was for 27m shares so that cannot go without a mention....

[shayadfn] 12/5/2016 13:36

Got my Divi

[shakeypremis] 12/5/2016 07:37

Suppose they have sold to the supposed company taking over, why would they sell at 205p and not for more? Am I missing something?

[cyman] 11/5/2016 22:30

If it's a protest sale it's an expensive protest.

Online casino 888 Holdings fell on Wednesday after one of its controlling shareholders sold out.The Ben-Yitzhak brothers, who co-founded 888 in the late-1990s, sold a £57m stake in the group to take their family trust's shareholding from 10.4 per cent to below the 3 per cent disclosure threshold.The shares were placed through Investec Securities at 205p apiece, according to dealers.888 closed 3.3 per cent lower at 214.8p. The sale follows speculation of disagreements on the group's future between the Ben Yitzhak family and fellow co-founders the Shakeds, who hold 48.2 per cent of the stock split evenly between Avi Shaked and the children of his late brother.Mr Shaked was rumoured last year to have blocked William Hill's takeover approach for 888 by demanding at least 300p a share, rather than the 200p on offer.William Hill blamed the breakdown of talks on a "significant difference of opinion on value with a key stakeholder".William Hill closed 5.6 per cent lower at 306p. An update from the bookmaker revealed no improvement in trading since its March profit warning, with online revenue sharply lower and a poor run of horseracing results hitting the gross win margin.
