In your dreams!

Great result for the bookies as coxsman said. Now all we need is for Croatia to beat France and another dollop of icing on the size of this ever-icreasing cake!

Somebody will snap GAN up no doubt Trent, although the CEO has pretty big plans for it so not sure it'll go for a song.This is holding up well today amongst the unsettling international set to. Next week update is certainly one to look forward to.I wonder if Stadium and US will merit a mention since it has crystallised first revenue stream from Delaware..

SRP. Re your earlier query. England beating Sweden was a losing result but with so much cash already won its not the end of the world for the punters to get a good result. On the week last week was a more normal margin week. Tennis results were good with higher volumes for Wimbledon.

Overall liabilities on England to win the cup are relatively low. Very few believed early on when the odds were much bigger.

Volumes are lower now, simply because there are fewer matches.

The implications of Italian regulations -

Regulus Partners, the strategic consultancy focused on international gambling and related industries, takes a look at some key developments for the gambling industry in its ‘Winning Post’ column.

Italy: commercial gambling – ad ban demonstrates failure to communicate

Further to last week’s reports, Italy’s council of Ministers approved the so called ‘Dignity Decree’on Monday which introduced a blanket ban on gambling advertising and gambling-related sports sponsorship from 1 January 2019 (excluding lottery). This will have far-reaching ramifications for gambling operators and directly impacts many sports, most notably football, whose teams rely on sponsorship, partnerships and gambling related advertising revenue to a greater extent in Italy than many other markets. It also highlights how brittle is the compact between commercial gambling and politics, and how quickly regulation can change when the mood swings. It might be tempting to think Italy is ‘different’; we would suggest it offers further valuable lessons to enter the ‘what not to do’ playbook (which is becoming something of a repetitive tome).

A brief look at Serie A in Italy shows that 12 out of the 20 teams have partnerships with betting brands ranging from straight advertising to betting partner, with some clubs presenting live odds on screens in stadia (a lower penetration than the EPL, but with a higher club revenue mix from betting sponsorship, we believe). Current sponsors largely map the larger Italian sports betting operators, with only bet365 missing from the major non-lottery operators.

Bwin (GVC) – Inter Milan
Eurobet (GVC) – Cagliari, Lazio, Sampdoria,Genoa and Udinese
SNAI (being acquired by Playtech) – Rome, Milan
Betfair (PPB) – Juventus
Planetwin365 – Napoli
Goldbet – Torino

The EGBA has estimated that betting companies spend around €120m pa in Italian sports sponsorships (c. 50% of total Italian betting-brand advertising, mostly football), suggesting both a significant loss to Italian football (likely hard to replace in one go at similar rates given the scale) as well significant disruption to Italian betting marketing budgets (given the central role of football sponsorship within that).

Serie A has warned that this ban will directly impact on the competitiveness of the teams and will redirect money away from Italy to other overseas markets, though it is unclear that the government is listening: offers to participate in discussions to find solutions to gambling-related harm are likely to be seen as too little too late. The president of Genoa FC warned that the measures were likely to encourage illegal gambling and not likely to solve any issues. The question remains as to whether teams sponsored by the gambling sector which visit Italy for matches from overseas could also be affected by the ban, though given the maelstrom this is something of a secondary issue for now.

Long experience has shown that nothing is certain in Italy from a legislative perspective, but it is probably wise to prepare for the worst. This ban is clearly far more severe than the English FA’s decision to sever commercial links with the betting industry and the UK DCMS position on sports advertising. But it comes from a country whose government was until recently routinely labelled as ‘pro-gambling’ and where football was considered very powerful. Times are changing and unless gambling companies offer much more compelling reasons why they belong in the entertainment sector and demonstrate how they are mitigating harm (both doable, neither done well), then more reactions such as this are likely, in our view.

Special world cup divi will go to pay off the debt, I hope. That way all the future value belongs to shareholders.
