888 Share Discussion Threads

Had these on watch list but today's update caught me out as was hoping to get in below 150, but brilliant update nonetheless.Struck me that they were trying not to be too positive in order not to upset the regulator too much, which IMO is the way to go.Anybody any ideas what their year end eps might be?.

[shaker44] 26/6/2020 12:33

Maybe the positive news will flush out a bidder

[davieday2] 26/6/2020 10:38

would be nice to see the share price back over £3.00 as we will see massive growth now sports back on great trading statement well done 888 and hopefully a good divi too

A good share price reaction - slow to kick in but now good.

Why 888 have not had a bid approach is beyond me but great to see organic gains

Super update this morning. Results will be well ahead of expectation.

Salty.

Great update, the most pleasing thing was the increase in customers that was achieved
before any lockdown started.
Let's get back up to that 180 mark.

[trentendboy] 23/6/2020 21:30

This is very positive888 just getting on with it.Should be around 180 imoWill buy to that level

Deutsche Bank analysts upped their target price for shares of 888 Holdings citing the "extremely strong" momentum observed seen over the start of the year, updates from rivals and data on its own markets.

I think they will be taken out before reaching £3Increasingly convinced draft kings will use their money to buy 888, hills or PTEC

[saltaire111] 22/6/2020 10:04

Not been invested here since 2013. Back in this morning. Looking for £3.00 a share within the next 12 months.

Confident of significant revenue growth through lockdown and beyond. New accounts opened during that period should stick.

promoted to the ftse250 then. Well played 888

[oneillshaun] 02/6/2020 13:31

Or maybe we are way off and it is just finding its feet again.

[trentendboy] 02/6/2020 11:48

there is a lot of competition in poker - huge number of sites. There would be no competition objection.

Hills, GVC (partypoker), PTEC (ipoker) - least of the governments concerns

[merism] 02/6/2020 10:10

888 is the no.2 poker site in the UK. It wouldn't be allowed to merge with Pokerstars.

[trentendboy] 02/6/2020 08:16

888 too small to trigger competition issuesSector still fragmented 888 fits well in many different companies wanting high quality brands and technology

[merism] 02/6/2020 08:04

I don't think Flutter would be allowed to acquire 888 due to poker competition concerns

[trentendboy] 29/5/2020 09:52

certainly after raising 800 million dollars

[oneillshaun] 29/5/2020 09:15

I think right now this could be a nice buy for Paddy/Flutter they are cash rich as well.

[trentendboy] 27/5/2020 12:40

Bid rumours kicking in again I wonder?Draft kings should use their high paper value to snap up 888

[rndm355] 15/5/2020 15:31

WMH discussed here.

Same trend of sports punters betting on other things that 888 mentioned:

[trentendboy] 14/5/2020 22:25

Looks like 888 poker revenues up a lot in USI suspect other companies will have similar upliftsHills update tomorrow crucial Might need to go longer 888

[trentendboy] 05/5/2020 11:10

I suspect they still owned a lot of shares They will hit the market perhaps but may speed up TO if 888 from a bigger player

[oohrogerpalmer] 05/5/2020 08:28

Yeah very sad.
Unfortunately sounds like another where the successful life has ultimately lead to his sad demise.
Would he be flying his own plane if not so successful!!!!!

[oneillshaun] 05/5/2020 08:23

Very sad news.

888 Founder Killed in Plane Crash

888 Founder Killed… Young Son was With Him

One of the co-founders of online gaming operator 888 Holdings, Shay Ben-Yitzhak, died this weekend in a small plane crash in Israel. He was 52. His 11-year-old son was with him on the plane, but thankfully he only sustained minor injuries.

Local reports make no mention of anyone else on board, suggesting Ben-Yitzhak was piloting the aircraft. He was unconscious and was pronounced dead by medics at the scene. His son was conscious and airlifted to a local hospital in stable condition.

Rescue teams said it was not immediately clear what caused the plane to nosedive into the ground, as described by witnesses. Transport Ministry accident investigators are currently looking into the matter.
