Online casinos operator, Ladbrokes, is thankful to be recovering from its earlier verbal 'beating' by informed, telephone betting high rollers on the sports and racing sides. Because of the verbal attack and canny bets by these parties, telephone takings have lost half of their bettors this fall for the online casinos sports betting leader. The victories by Chelsea in the football category and jockey Kieren Fallon's exceptional October triple success at the Arc de Triumph day at Longchamp are prime examples of the achievements experienced by these gamblers.
'Betting and gaming profit declined slightly as good growth in eGaming [online poker and roulette] was offset by adverse telephone high-roller results and tough retail trading. Telephone betting results were adversely affected by high-roller activity with gross win down 58 percent,' said Hilton, the owner of the online casinos sports betting site. A number of gambling stocks dropped due to poor trading at the online casinos giant, although the pretax profits had risen by 10 percent.
It is difficult to predict the outcomes of revenues and the market worth of stocks and shares of online casinos. Because this industry is so dynamic, various components of operating online casinos can change over night. Ladbrokes hopes to return its lost telephone gamblers as well as its revenue to once again claim its position as an online casino sports betting leader.
