Just out of interest what were the other three tips?

Just downloaded this report from the spreadbets guys -

Seems to be one of their buys for 2014

Poor bookmaker results and now the very real prospects of a ban of FOBT's. P/E 14.5 make this a sell IMO.

William Hill from Galvan..

'MP hedges his bets on bookies'

MP Tom Watson's war on the bookies continued this week as - following a public twitter spat with William Hill - he tabled an early day motion attacking fixed-odds betting terminals and "unsightly gambling clusters" on the High Street.

He hasn't always been such an enemy of the bookmakers - particularly back in the days before his chunky-glasses, anti-Murdoch makeover when he was an unremarkable Gordon Brown footsoldier.

A local newspaper picture story from November 2005 shows Watson with a manager from Ladbrokes, who gave him a £100 charity bet to put on whatever bet he wanted. He backed West Bromwich Albion to win at 7/2 but the Baggies could only manage a draw.

Market report:

Investec reckons William Hill, 4.6p up at 375.6p, is lengths ahead of the field in the UK betting sector. It is trading at sector discount despite its robust expected retail cash generation and a leading position in UK and Australian online, and high growth prospects in Italy and Spain.
