R Griffiths omg that man has followed this company to its near demise today he will be 80% down, I don’t care if it’s his money or borrowed from investors he must be feeling like an absolute fool here.

No word ever about maybe changing the board improving communication or strategy, over the last 10 years gaming companies valuations have been to the moon and back at least twice this has just gone down and down and down. They will need money or have to be taken off the market for pennies and then they may buck up but for shareholders that is no good.

Influential Twitter investor glasshalffull has bought in today. Also Aston girl is a holder.

I’ve taken a maiden position in #SPO
Update indicates EBITDA in line & net cash ahead at £10.2m (fc. £8.8m cash) #SPO estimate disposals will net £36.1m in FY21 H1 ... this would equate to 24p/share vs. 28p/share price. So lottery & sports betting in Connecticut are in for free👇ㇿ5; [...] "

Its a long term hold!!

85.41% of share capital is held by Institutional Investors. Whenever you see PIs selling cheaply, these shares are quickly mopped up at the end of the day by fund managers. They know this share has value, its just a waiting game to see if A) SPO gets bought out for their licenses or B) They start making real profit in the US, with the de-restriction on gaming, this should be a no brainer. Lets see which way this plays out. I'm holding! Rich

We are at a recent 3-year high, if we add back the 29p distribution in November and ignore the confusing buy-back of around 10p in March 2017. Add just the 29p divi back and the share price is doing modestly well at around 109p old money. SPO has not yet recovered from the recent huge write-offs by the new Board to clear the decks for a sale or, if no sale, to make the books look a lot easier to perform in the future. Having taken us down to near 30p with its bombshell, private investor confidence is still severely shaken.I see the insti investors are spotting the potential before the private investors.In the USA, Sportech needs to have confidence that it can compete with the big players on service if not price. Like all smaller companies have to.All big companies were small once.

In its April Presentation, page 22, Sportech supplied a great analysis of the State by State preparedness for sports betting legislation. The seven levels range from ready to non-started (no appetite). Half of the States are in the no-activity status. I think we can rule most of those out for the next year or two and there is likely to be significant resistance in most of those.Sportech has gambling licences and horse racing betting in 37 States with the strongest being Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. These three States are in the Imminent or Drafted status. Near the top. We know Sportech is proposed in the Connecticut draft billhttp://www.sportechplc.com/investors/results/

It seems that Sky News first reported the issue which has since been mentioned by many web sites. Possibly an issue uncovered during due diligence. As long as it's not fraud, an irregularity should not affect the sale price by much.https://www.juicebrighton.com/news/uk-business-news/pool-betting-firm-sportech-scares-the-horses-with-profit-alert/"The listed pool betting group Sportech will shock investors by unveiling a profit warning on Wednesday morning, even as it continues talks with potential buyers of the company.Sky News has learnt that Sportech, the former owner of the Football Pools business, will disclose in a stock exchange announcement that full-year earnings will be materially impacted by accounting issues uncovered by its board.The nature of the accounting issues to be highlighted by Sportech was unclear on Tuesday evening."The announcement will come six weeks before the company is due to announce preliminary results for last year.

Tweeted by sky business reporter Mark KleinmanExclusive: London-listed pool betting group Sportech to shock investors (and prospective bidders) with profit warning tomorrow prompted by what I'm told are "accounting issues".

That is an interesting RNS. Cayman registered hedge fund Sandgrove look to have moved onto the radar by taking their holding from c. 4.8% to 7.13%, obviously purchased from Canaccord. Their recent activity relating to Punch Taverns and Heineken suggests they are proactive investors and therefore might be involved a bid situation.Hopefully some real news shortly.

Hi all, we are in interesting time!

Interesting movement of shares in recent months?
CANACCORD GENUITY LIMITED and their connection to Hargreave Hale Limited who have since September increased their holding in SPO. No conflict of interest I suppose.
