BOTB has traded like this for years. There has often been a bit of a sell off late in the year only for things to rally hard on earnings in January. I'm not the slightest bit concerned. The only thing that concerns me is news from management, and that to date has been very good. I've bought more recently but don't profess to have bought at the bottom of this sell off which may or may not have further to fall.

I think long term holders will be rewarded.

Ryan it could just be a shareholder getting fed up and thinking he could miss the santa rally which should start next week. Especially if this just sticks here. I do not hold any but have been keeping an eye on it but the spread kills it for me.

Someone is desperate to sell. Lots of 1000 share blocks sells going through earlier this morning at around 1150-1180 range. V odd

It's a screaming buy at these levels, unless there's something I'm missing

Also added 313 shares at 1190p but not showing up yet

Bought in today for the first time, rationale is exactly as davidosh eloquently put it. Current price is very attractive. FSP could be a catalyst for a very good short term reward if not business is going well and should sustain this price if not £15 easily

I'm sure Leon would have something salutary to say about the share price

[davidosh] 10/12/2020 16:28

No idea on the results date but something has to happen one way or the other in the next few weeks or so. It is a pivotal moment so I may include them in our MelloBASH on Monday evening in the Xmas show

davidosh

Any idea when the results will be announced. Presumably circa 30-Jan as per last year. Just surprised we have not been given the date yet.

Hopefully you are correct as I have just invested here for the first time. Hopefully better late than never.

I have added to my holding at £11.95 as realistically if there is no bid then I am very happy to be buying at a level that is very well supported by the current earnings and growth so it is likely to get past £15 after the next results anyway.

If a deal is done then I cannot see it being below £15 and more likely close to £20 as the main shareholders are clearly holding out. So win/win as even a no bid announcement should not see it back down at single pounds and therefore downside pretty well protected

[az4hr] 10/12/2020 15:44

how far will it go absolutely relentless

[az4hr] 10/12/2020 15:44

my biggest holding this what a horrible day

I play often and the payment comes out of a credit card. However I use a credit card as it builds up my points and the card is paid off in full each month. If they stopped taking credit cards I would just move to a debit card.

[bookbroker] 10/12/2020 12:41

Do people enter their raffles with a credit card, I know that gambling with credit cards online is being outlawed, if not already, does that apply here?

[leamas20] 10/12/2020 11:11

Perhaps, although I don’t see any large move in the likes of Flutter or indeed Gaming companies who could be impacted if there are further rules on loot boxes.

[solooiler] 10/12/2020 10:23

Anything linked to the gambling review overhaul thst was on bbc yesterday? Like Remote Gaming Duty ?

I know there are people who spend £50 a week on botb

[az4hr] 10/12/2020 10:10

wow a massive drop and such low volumes

[mobtheplod] 10/12/2020 09:58

Interims end of January, let’s hope things are sorted by then, but I won’t be holding my breath.

[mobtheplod] 10/12/2020 09:53

Was a steep drop earlier, together with the large trade yesterday, maybe a little tree shaking going on to accumulate a large purchase?

[ryanc106] 10/12/2020 09:26

Down again this morning. Really is out of favour at the moment

[hdavies1] 09/12/2020 19:14

That's £175k, interesting?

[investographer] 09/12/2020 17:55

A large 13017 trade from yesterday. Looks like a buy at the time at 13.39p

[clanger66] 09/12/2020 16:20

The formal sale process was announced on the 17th June. The closing share price on the 16th was 1,250. On the announcement the stock jumped to close at 1,470. So as Investographer points out the stock is now trading at pre announcement prices. The business has continued to grow and if the EPS comes in at 70 pps as broker forecasts the multiple is an attractive 18.5x now at the current mid price. I've picked up a few at sub 1,300 today as seems good value. As a previous poster pointed out their web traffic saw a pick up in the recent November data.

[ryanc106] 09/12/2020 16:13

I’m getting really bored now tbh! Will keep holding but the lack of information on the fsp is frustrating.
Either wrap it up or tell us it’s off

[investographer] 09/12/2020 15:48

Now below FDP announcement level.I told Rupert Garton that the length of time this was taken was unacceptable.Got a snotty reply telling me not to bother him again.They would have known within 2 months max if the offers were going to be acceptable.The stock exchange normally gives 28 days for this process
