Ladbrokes benefits up strongly on 'bookmaker friendly' results

Ladbrokes has actually reported a ₤ 25.2 m revenue for the very first 6 months of the year compared with last year's ₤ 51.4 m loss.

The bookmaker says this promotion code strong, external efficiency is in part due to "sporting gods" being on its side.

It mentions a run of "bookmaker friendly" outcomes, like that of the European Championship, where England and Northern Ireland left early.

Ladbrokes, which prepares to merge with rival Coral, states a run of "customer friendly" results will follow.

It states it is in talks with potential buyers for around 400 stores it has to cost the merger to go through.

The results show that customers are responding positively to the business's brand-new method "at a time when the sporting gods have actually usually been on our side and we've taken pleasure in some practical bookmaker friendly outcomes", said president, Jim Mullen.

"History would highly dictate that such a run of results in our favour would see client staking suffer, however encouragingly these numbers strongly buck that trend and combine strong staking and a great margin."

"However, 130 years of experience in sports betting has revealed us that we will sustain a run of client friendly results and margins will normalise," he included.
