We are best known as a bookmaker providing fixed odds sports betting, which requires a sophisticated odds setting and risk management WE DO capability. This core capability is a significant asset and represents a high barrier to competition. We benefit from spreading the significant cost of this capability across a large scale operation. Primarily we recruit customers through sports betting, but we also offer gaming opportunities to increase their proportion of spend with William Hill and to improve customer retention. In the online model, customers recruited through sports betting have a lower cost per acquisition, are more strongly influenced by the brand proposition and have a longer average lifetime with the business.

Gaming activities MAKE MONEY provide a constant and predictable margin. Betting margins fluctuate with sporting results and the weight of money bet on any given outcome can deliver an imbalanced result. As a large operator providing a wide range of betting, William Hill is less exposed to these fluctuations than smaller businesses but they can have a short-term effect on financial results. However, given the law of averages, this will even out over time. In the UK, we are the leading betting and gaming operator.

Internationally, no other business combines the strengths we have in land-based and online gambling (see ‘Market overview’).

In the Board’s view, regulatory changes thanks for their continuing efforts and commitment. across the world present exciting opportunities for the development of William Hill, with its distinctive multi-channel betting and gaming model. During 2011, we undertook organic expansion through the launch of William Hill Online in the regulated Italian market and also announced plans to acquire three land-based sports betting businesses in the State of Nevada in the US.

  • Ivision and the BBC: Building Public Value
    Observatorio (OBS*) Journal, 5 (2008), 041-055 1646-5954/ERC123483/2008 041 iVision and the BBC: Building Public Value Michael Klontzas, City University, London, UK Abstract Breaking with conventional wisdom that sees public service broadcasters as conveyors of content in line with historically shaped socio-political ideals, centred on quality, access, diversity and independence, evidence suggests that PSB is often the driving force behind key technological innovations serving public policy aims. In the drive towards wholesale digitalisation and the accelerated introduction of an information society, this hitherto understated function is now deemed critical and comes to the fore. More specifically, recent public policy initiatives in the UK, culminating to the 2006 White Paper, openly assign the mission of contributing to the process of ‘building digital Britain’ to the BBC, the flagship public service broadcaster. This vision of digitalisation is defined in broad terms in the policy discourse, as involving all platforms indiscriminately. The BBC’s contribution, designed to entice users to a digital future and simultaneously cement the continued relevancy of the institution in the 21st century, finds expression in a variety of implemented and proposed digital services deliverable over a range of digital platforms, including television and radio, the internet and mobile networks. This paper seeks to interrogate the host of controversial and closely scrutinised internet services offered by the BBC in the light of the digital vision articulated in the public policy discourse. These services shift the emphasis away from the time-honoured broadcasting paradigm to a more interactive approach. Through widespread application of emerging Web 2.0 practices, the users are now invited to participate, and generate and share their own content.
