Yes, it is unforunate that they have a long history of heavy insider selling. I don't follow Draftkings too closely, but the Director trading caught my eye.
At the very least, their quarterly results provided some insight into what we might expect from ours. |
Agreed vraetorian although DraftKings have a long history of very meaty insider selling from Jason Robins et al. I’m not a shareholder but I follow a chat thread of theirs and it regularly contains serious negative comments on this point. |

Major rally in the Flutter share price on the NYSE this evening… we should open around £5-6 higher tomorrow. |
Ohio Governor seeking to raise sportsbook tax from 20 to 40% (he led the previous doubling from 10-20% fairly recently). Will be a rough day for the Flutter share price. |
$14m hold in New York last week from a $210m handle (lowest total hold for 14 weeks). Could have been worse bearing in mind the NFL (high) scores but this does set the quarter back (no pun intended) a touch. I hope my thread nemesis will finally acknowledge he has erred …yes???? |
The first PT cut I've seen on Flutter. May be a slow year for the stock- We'll see...

I’m afraid stateside outcome will not be strong for the weekend just gone… wish you were right on that as would have built on a strong start to the quarter. |
Chutzpah with a capital C hereAll 4 favs failed to win in English football yesterday & the 2 underdogs had 71pc & 69pc of the money on them in the Super Bowl semis last night again adding to what is looking like a strong Jan across both sides |
I can only step back and admire your hutzpah Whitehouse!
Moving on - likely poor NFL night yesterday with both high scoring matches and many touchdowns. Many Parlay bets will have been landed … although KC Chiefs victory at least (hopefully) ensures Taylor Swift will be at the Super Bowl which perhaps broadens the scope to add new accounts. |

Agreed Jam62 on the shift to primary listing in US. We should acknowledge Fanduel’s incredible success in the high margin NFL parlay market brings a fairly shocking level of volatility. This has come home to roost in Q4 where the gargantuan hit to quarterly EBITDA is likely to be much higher than the competitors. That said, this is a “feature not a bug” (term stolen from the EKG line) and should bring outsized profits in other quarters IF the maths is right… which I believe it is (NFL playoffs so far have been great for the books). Importantly, investors/market seem to have accepted this argument hence the lack of market reaction…time will tell. |
Blimey, have you not noticed the huge re-rating that has materialised since moving the principal listing from London to the U.S.? |
