Lads and Joe pulled out of oddschecker

They are BOG in shops to all customers, not just grid card holders in Scotland. Not sure if it's the same down south. If it is you would imagine it will be built in to the prices, making them not too competitive. Was just a thought and might have nothing to do with it.

I remember when Ladbrokes were offering 7/2 English King for the Derby on Oddschecker it was 2/1 on their website.
Probably Joe was at it too.

Possibly many complained to the Advertising Authority.

Most likely that they (Lads in particular) don't want us to spot how regularly they are worst price. This is part of their "boost" strategy. You can "boost" a bad Lad price up to the market norm but you have to spot that boosted prices lose the BOG guarantee. That said, at least you will get on.

BOTH L & C still on the ATR price comparisons

Also both still on the Racing Post online cards' price tables.

gvc would not pay the price to oddschecker,
that is the top bottom of it.

hope you are all well

yeah think so oddschecker is now owned by pp/bf/sky so why give competitors money for dubious returns.

haven't they got previous...sure i remember them coming off oddschecker for a bit, several years ago...soon came back though

the purple mob owned by gvc have also departed.

"GVC has surprisingly called time on its deal with oddschecker after deciding to remove its Ladbrokes, Coral and **** brands from the affiliate firm’s pricing grid. GVC’s UK-facing brands will be pulled from 9 July 2020 as EGR understands a price could not be agreed on a renewal between the operator and Flutter Entertainment-owned oddschecker.…"

The rest of the article is paywalled.

When did Flutter acquire Oddchecker?  When they bought Sky/Stars?

Good riddance.

Mullen, Alexander & Hornby will still pay themselves million's !

Btw, imvho GVC are a buy at present price !


I expect them to hit £10 in the medium term.


Good luck.

Hal
did you get any shares
hope you are well
Ronnie.

I suspect they will be back.

Oddschecker by far the most used comparison and many punters will not be bothered looking elsewhere.

Hiya Ronnie ( hope you're well )...

Like you I know the business... expansion in certain U S states will grow the business... shares should progress accordingly !

It always was pretty pointless advertising your prices on an odds comparison site and then banning anyone that uses it.

I thought that actually WAS the point - they wanted to know who uses Oddschecker precisely so they knew who to ban.

Presumably bookmakers now share account information with each other, so they no longer need to pay for Oddschecker in order to weed out the undesirables.

I think it is a marketing mistake withdrawing exposure from Oddschecker because it's a huge advantage for any prospective customer to be able to access any bookie from this platform. The saving is probably pittance.

Out of sight, out of mind!

dont think many ever click direct for prices not available in real time, i'd be looking at dodgy SPs and no course action tbh, who does multis of a morning now taking rubbish prices.

Sharing info is nothing new, screaming. In 1999 I was happily arbing between the sports spread firms until they all effectively shut me down on the same day. I already knew from their comments when I phoned for bets that they were sharing the names of 'undesirables' like me.

ttt for shoddypotatoes.

Eric Cartman....yes i think they did

shares gone through the floor today
down 123p or 14% something to do with Turkey.
sad to say  dinner wont taste as nice this evening,
have a good day

Cheif Executive RESIGNED only a few days ago ...

HNRC conducting an Investigation  ...

- under - "section 7 Bribery Act 2010"

GVC Holdings has warned the City that HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has widened an investigation into its former online gambling operation in Turkey.

Shares in the parent company of Ladbrokes and Coral fell sharply following the announcement, which comes just a few days after the surprise news that chief executive Kenny Alexander was stepping down after 13 years in the role and was to be succeeded by Shay Segev.

In November last year GVC received an order for information from HMRC regarding its former Turkish business, which was sold in December 2017, which the company understood to involve a number of third-party suppliers relating to payment processing for online gambling.

The company said that before Monday it had understood "no GVC entity was a subject of HMRC's investigation".

However, it added in Tuesday morning's announcement: "HMRC yesterday informed the company that it was widening the scope of its investigation and is now examining 'potential corporate offending' by an entity (or entities) within the GVC group which HMRC has not yet identified."

GVC added it was "surprised by the decision to extend the investigation in this way and are disappointed by the lack of clarity provided by HMRC as to the scope of its investigation".

The company said it had not been told details of the conduct under investigation, except for "a reference to section 7 Bribery Act 2010", nor was it clear which part of the group was under investigation.

"In the meantime, the company continues to co-operate fully with HMRC regarding the provision of information," GVC added.

The Gambling Commission said it was aware of the HMRC investigation.

A spokesperson for the regulator said: "We are aware of, and are assisting with, HMRC's ongoing investigation. We are monitoring developments but are unable to comment further at this stage."

GVC disposed of its operation in Turkey, where gambling is restricted, in order to clear the way for its acquisition of Ladbrokes Coral, but the company was subsequently forced to defend the circumstances of the deal.

Shares in GVC were down by nearly 13 per cent at 759.4p by Tuesday lunchtime.

The UKGC has been finally shown up here - plenty of its licensees accept bets from countries illegally and it hasn't taken any action.

Labrokes should never have been allowed to merge with Corals being two of the four largest betting entities in the UK. Only a pillock did not refer them to the MMC; Sainsbury was not allowed to merge with Asda so why Ladbokes could with Ok Koral? Clearly a barmy decision.
