    Default William Hill profits expected to slump with too many favorites winning horse races

    William Hill is warning investors that their profits will be down this year, thanks to punters picking winning horses.

    Analysts’ forecasts for operating profit in the year to the end of December ranged from £290.9m to £312.1m. The equivalent figure last year was £372.2m, suggesting that profit will fall by about 20%.

    Great news. The less profit these thiefs are making, the better it is!

    "punters picking winning horses", but there was Rugby World Cup, didn't they earn a lot from that?

    Still weird announcement.

    For sure they know how to get their players in troubles. Their Romanian database is now getting fines of a few Romanian month salaries.

    I think the keyword here is "William Hill is warning investors that their profits". Whether it's true or not it doesn't matter, the investors profits go down . You can guess that if it isn't true, WH's profits go up.

    It's also some sort of ad. Bet @ horses at WH, because there's something to win there.
