Ladbrokes Suffers Worst Cheltenham Festival In Memory

Ladbrokes suffers worst Cheltenham Festival in memory

21 April 2016

Bookmaker Ladbrokes has actually said this promotion code year’s Cheltenham Festival was its “worst in living memory”.

All bookmakers were struck by a string of favourites winning at the celebration, however Ladbrokes likewise argued that competitors were using bets at levels that did not make business sense.

Ladbrokes also validated that it has a ₤ 3 if Leicester City win the Premier League.

Despite this promotion code, the company said it had seen an encouraging start to the year.

Revenue was more than 10% greater.

Chief executive Jim Mullen said: “At Cheltenham we were advised of the intense competitors with offers and pricing at levels which, in our view, abandoned bookmaking concepts.

“We contended difficult however declined to pursue unsustainable techniques.”

He told the BBC gaming was for his consumers, not his service: “I have actually constantly stated we’re in the gambling service, we do not bet … I thought Cheltenham was a race to the bottom.”

The business said the Grand National winner, Rule The World, which was a 33/1 shot, delivered a bet9ja’s welcome offer contrast to Cheltenham.

Ladbrokes stated it was “confident” that its outcomes would remain in line with expectations.

‘Recreational punter’

Last year Ladbrokes revealed strategies to combine with its smaller rival, Coral.

UK competitors authorities are presently taking a look at the offer.

Steve Clayton, analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown stockbrokers, stated the latest trading declaration from Ladbrokes was encouraging, however the genuine concern was whether the yohaig code merger with Coral would be permitted: “A merged Ladbrokes and Coral will have a dominant retail position, even if lots of shops have actually to be sold.

“We expect significant cost saving will be possible due to the fact that there will be huge locations of overlap and unnecessary duplication of functions across the combined service.”

Ladbrokes is pursuing a different technique to that of its rivals by focussing on client service and the occasional punter, who will not necessarily hunt for the very best odds.

Mr Clayton said: “The bookmaker’s technique is to concentrate on the ‘recreational punter’, in other words the still soft and malleable, unhardened gamblers out there.

“These individuals do not understand what the ideal chances need to be, so it is easier to develop a fat win margin into the yohaig code bookie’s terms.”
