William Hill aggresively targets new acquisitions

William Hill is one of the oldest and most-trusted names in online gaming. Having been in action for over 100 years in the UK, they are one of the best-known brands on the high street. However when it came to online gaming William Hill struggled to gain traction against the newer operators.

William Hill targets new acquisitions


In the last 2-3 years that has changed. William Hill have been aggressively targeting new acquisitions in the Casino and poker markets. Many casinos offer generous free bonuses to new joiners, but William Hill have broken the mold by offering bonuses greater than 100%. For example if a new joiner deposits £50, William Hill will match it by 150%,. ie adding an additional £75 to that player's account.

The look and feel of the WH casino inspires confidence. It is definitely in keeping with their heritage and reputation.

Gold Price Bubble – Will Gold keep rising fast?

You probably think gold is in a gold price bubble. After all, it hit new highs in dollars, pounds and euros this week – and has pretty much quintupled since its lows of 2001.

What's more, everyone from Germany to China is still nuts for it. Earlier in the week, the FT reported that the Germans have been snapping up coins and gold bars faster than they did even in the aftermath of the Lehman Brothers' collapse. In the UAE, you can buy bars direct from a vending machine. At Harrods, you can pick up a variety of gold coins over the counter. And – as the gold bears are keen to point out – you can see ads for the purchase of gold all over TV.

But look at the actual price of gold and it is hard to see real evidence of a gold bubble. Gold may have hit new highs in nominal terms, but it hasn't come close to hitting its old highs in real terms. Adjust the 1980 high of $850 for US inflation and you get a price of around $2,400 – a level only the most bullish are predicting even now.

Then look to the last few years. The bears would have you believe that the gold price has somehow gone "parabolic". But, in fact, the price in US dollars has only risen around 25% in the last two years.   Read more

Gold Price and Silver Price in One place

I’m a big Gold Bug and own gold bullion, coins and some ETF investments. The problem is it was quite hard to find a place to see the gold price in real time, updated 24 hours a day.

This site, Invest in Gold, shows the price of gold and silver. It also has news on gold miners, silver miners and other ways to invest. There is a monthly competition that you can enter by signing up for the newsletter, which in itself is a very good read.

Have a look and tell me what you think here…
