thereafter. The Ladbrokes Group is in a very strong financial position following
the same of its hotel division and a very profitable world cup for the sports
betting business.

(£394.0 million for the previous year). Gross win from wagers was up by 9.9 percent to £1 billion.
The group commented that it had successfully established Ladbrokes as a
