thanks for that Ed Winchester much appreciated.

[ed winchester] 13/10/2004 17:03

actually sean thats incorrect

if you look at the RNS on the 20/9/04

it had this :

"The Company was informed on 17 September 2004 that Mr Ramsden is interested in
5,433,333 ordinary shares, representing 15.60 per cent. of the issued share
capital of the Company."


so 100/15.6 * 5,433,333 = 34.8m

so 34.8m shares in issue


I think that 41.5m shares comes from the announcement when they were going to issue 30m new shares (11.5m + 30m = 41.5m)... however they only issued 23.3m in the end which means total in issue is 11.5m + 23.3m = 34.8m

so today's trades totalled around 12m which is over 30% of total shares in issue.

If advfn information is correct just 41.5m shares in issue.

[springbok] 03/10/2004 17:44

[moneypm] 27/9/2004 21:08

noticed that too sean. thats nearly 5% of the issued share capital so should expect an rns soon.

EasyKill - 25 Sep'04 - 10:29 - 552 of 557

I believe there's something in the Gambling Times that Terry Ramsden is negotiating a biggish deal involving their betting trading software platform. Unlike the previous contracts, this one will result in significant one off sales income and recurring revenue. Could explain the activity on Friday, but I suspect it could propel the share further once this news/rumour gets known in the market. It could really fly if its actually confirmed.

Nice ramp!!
TES already have over a dozen books. I don't see that adding another one is going to make a substantial difference in the short term, as the initial payments aren't huge and recurring revenue is only a very small percentage of the platform profits.

let us know the full details Alistair, if and when you do get hold of the paper.

[alistair richmond] 25/9/2004 10:31

Easykill
Hello and thanks for replying........I"ve checked out Gambling Time...still searching.

[easykill] 25/9/2004 10:15

Hello Alistair

I have a colleague who works in the gambling industry (Rank group). I think Gambling Times is an industry publication and he read a snippet in that paper. Sorry, but I dont have the paper with me. He mentioned it last night to me whilst talking to him on the phone. Apologies I cant give you any more details, I have stated everything he told me. However, if I do get any more on the subject I will post it.

[alistair richmond] 25/9/2004 10:04

Easykill
Would appreciate it if you could in some way substantiate what you have said.
If anyone could find and post this "something in the Gambling Times", ??

[ed winchester] 25/9/2004 09:38

thanks for that easykill. I was resigned that share will tread water for while not moving higher than 15p (placing price). If this order is signed then the share will fly.

This is looking strong, I'm tempted to switch my other shares into this on Monday.

[asangaherath] 24/9/2004 10:20

up 9%, should be in the top 3 gainers shouldnt we?

[moneypm] 24/9/2004 09:57

something up ?

[h.basha] 22/9/2004 15:34

I'd say that the real spread is between 8-10 % wich mayso be not bad at all for that stage of the company.

This baby looks strong and 'till now I personaly don't see any risky signal but strong base for an upward in a near future.


Enjoy..:)

[seanworld] 21/9/2004 15:51

[bullandbear] 21/9/2004 12:30
