You win some you lose some. There have been times when the div declared in Euros and then converted just before the payment date and we have benefited from the exchange rate going in our favour. This time it has gone marginally against us. As the French say c'est la vie.

Are you re-investing?

76,000 Shares,very impressive.

Got mine - AJ Bell.

mylands,Not complaining,but we shareholder,s are worst off by the fixed 12.50p then.

Div is fixed at 12.50p, the first time they have done that since payouts started in Euros, in Oct 2007.

Interactive Investor...usually after 4pm.

Usually between 12,and 1pm.TDDI were giving dividend credit,s before the open,but now has stopped it.The current GBP/EUR rate is 1.1788,which equates to 12.64p,on the 14.90 Euro Dividend.Or is the Dividend fixed at 12.50p ?

Nothing in any of my accounts yet.

Who is the first to receive their divi today?

Cheshire Moggie, I agree with your recent posts. The brilliance of the GVC acquisition of Bpty was awe-inspiring and it is considered the best M&A deal in the online gaming sector to date.Regards,coxsmn

Interesting daily reversal

[popper joe] 13/2/2017 16:24

CM, yes it was quite remarkable. On a par with Botham's Ashes and Mohammad Ali beating George Foreman :-)

[cheshiremoggie] 13/2/2017 15:47

Well so far I can't disagree with that.

I still think the way they managed to get bwin AFTER the company had announced it had sold itself to 888 was one of the best games of business poker I've seen in 25 years of investing....

[popper joe] 13/2/2017 15:28

I get the impression that Kenny Alexander is not someone with whom you would want to play poker. I don't think he is one to lose his nerve.

Well I believe that GVC under KA has the potential to be the biggest sports book in the world - when you include Asia and the US in the next decade, then William Hill can have my one for £25.

I hope KA and the team hold their nerve and don't sell out too soon.

[shayadfn] 13/2/2017 14:09

William hill can have my shares for £10.50 each

[festario] 13/2/2017 13:52

Mmm! It's looking like I'll be able to buy a few more shares than I expected.

[cheshiremoggie] 13/2/2017 13:02

Festario - too true about the 12.5p. Back in my day you could buy a house with land for 12p and have change for a ha'penny chew...

[festario] 13/2/2017 12:59

Ha ha, love it CM. But you don't get much for 12.5p these days.

[catswhiskas] 13/2/2017 12:56

If William hill start sniffing around the share price is bound to crash that's for sure if their share price is anything to go by and any deal would have to price in a discount as William hill would have to buy every gvc staff a torch which I don't think they can afford !

[cheshiremoggie] 13/2/2017 12:43

Lol.

Theres a fair amount of "willie waving" on this BB about the size of peoples "holding".

I go on the tried and trusted principle that the size of ones physical "holding" is inversely proportional to the size stated on a BB.

With that in mind I would like to declare a holding of 1 GVC share.

I'm looking forward to spending my 12.5p on some sweeties.

CM.
