Green states closing their 4D shops have minimal effect. In fact this will reduce their operating cost. Just keep paying higher dividends to attract investors. 11/01/2023 11:00 AM sheldon Is online betting permissible for S.Toto, Magnum & DaMaCai? I thought the govt does not allow it 11/01/2023 1:48 PM DividendGuy67 ""With this addiction, there is often involvement in criminal activities such as theft and robbery, which can lead to further mental health problems."" Wow - is there even any scientific, statistical or even any academic research evidence that shows that Sports Toto players are involved in theft, robbery which then led to mental health problems? Or is this done to encourage more illegal, underground gambling? 19/02/2023 11:05 AM DividendGuy67 https://www.thestar.com.my/starpicks/2023/01/14/what-happens-when-you-buy-illegal-4d-in-malaysia - examples of issues from illegal gambling. Not only is it bigger than legal gambling, there's also the loss of tax revenues too. Making something illegal, other things equal, is more likely to attract associated illegal activities. The average person who earn RM5,000 a month and bet RM10 in Sport Toto isn't going to then steal things because that is just entertainment, probably no different than spending on a packet of cigarettes. Or are we banning this too? 19/02/2023 11:16 AM DividendGuy67 Extreme state's decisions like this is what's spooking overseas investors. Outcome is eventual total Bursa under-valuation, not just limited to legal gambling stocks. Why invest in extremist states? 19/02/2023 11:19 AM i3lurker Bilis are born to feed sharks. Bilis mother when looking at baby says, I give birth to this bilis to feed sharks. Gambling outlets tend to cluster together for security ie magnum, dai ma cai and toto. I go to this retail outlet nearby to them occasionally. My observations is that those people going into these 3 gambling outlets on surface looks like the lowest of the low in society. Very poorly dressed, usually shorts and dirty crumpled clothing in tatters and holes and cheap toilet slippers almost worn out to ground, long hair uncombed. They tend to shuffle or limp slowly in and out with a face of parents, wife and child just died. the difference is very obvious coz other retail outlets customers all well dressed in starched ironed long sleeves, long pants, sometimes with tie, leather shoes, neat hair just done at A Cut Above type of standards and walk properly. Always gives me the shivers just looking at them, thats why I decline to buy these type of gambling counters shares. 19/02/2023 11:31 AM sheldon i3lurker - I'm somewhat like you. I have a conscience. That's why I don't touch Genting. It could wipe out fortunes in a matter of minutes. However Sports Toto is a different kettle of fish. It's gives the lower rung of society an excitement of sorts for a small sum. A chance for them to strike it big for as little as a ringgit. What can anyone get for 1 ringgit these days? Nobody's forcing. The Co afterall pays a massive yearly amount (close to 800m) to the Fed Govt in the form of gaming taxes. The name of Sports Toto predecessor "Social Welfare" aptly sums up its role. So go ahead and invest without guilt. There's a fine line between investment and betting. I've lost a lot (and made a lot) betting on stocks (or is it investing?) 20/02/2023 4:08 PM Vicky KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 21): Sports Toto Bhd’s net profit grew 21.77% to RM64.86 million in the second quarter ended Dec 31, 2022 (2QFY2023) from RM53.26 million in the same period last year, primarily due to improved results by its principal subsidiary company STM Lottery Sdn Bhd. The group's quarterly revenue rose 13.07% to RM1.41 billion from RM1.25 billion. It declared a second interim dividend of 2.5 sen per share amounting to RM33.74 million, to be paid on April 21. 21/02/2023 10:19 PM TomYam Sports Toto Berhad SPTOTO Share Price 7 Day 1 Year 1.52 -0.7% -20.0% Second quarter 2023 earnings released: EPS: RM0.048 (vs RM0.04 in 2Q 2022) Second quarter 2023 results: EPS: RM0.048 (up from RM0.04 in 2Q 2022). Revenue: RM1.41b (up 13% from 2Q 2022). Net income: RM64.9m (up 22% from 2Q 2022). Profit margin: 4.6% (up from 4.3% in 2Q 2022). The increase in margin was driven by higher revenue. Revenue is forecast to grow 2.5% p.a. on average during the next 3 years, compared to a 11% growth forecast for the Hospitality industry in Malaysia. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 28% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 16% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings. 23/02/2023 8:45 AM Good123 Insaflah Australia has the most significant losses per capita in the world due to gambling; it also causes significant economic and social harm to the gamblers, their families, and the local communities. Wesley Financial Literacy Program tries to adjust people’s relationship with money and educate and empower them to make better decisions with their money, hoping to limit gambling harm in the future. Financial literacy is the ability to understand and effectively use financial skills, including personal management, budgeting, and investing. 28/02/2023 12:09 PM sheldon Good123 - insaflah Afghanistan has even more losses per capita or was it Yemen, yet both these countries have no gambling. So maybe gambling is good for the economy! 28/02/2023 1:30 PM Good123 tak baik Gambling is a significant public health issue in Australia; estimates suggest that Australians lost approximately $25 Billion on legal forms of gambling in 2018-2019, the largest per capita loss globally. Since 2009, NSW has seen an increase from $8 Billion to $10 Billion in total expenditure and losses (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2021). While the industry claims that it is beneficial as it supports economic growth and generates revenue, it also causes significant economic and social harm to gamblers, families, and local communities (Paterson, M, Taylor, M, & Gray, M, 2020). Problem Gambling is any behaviour that inhibits and impact relationships, family, finances, employment and loss of control and addiction (Lifeline, 2021). People can gamble on electronic gaming machines, the lotto, scratch lotto tickets, card games, racing and other types of betting. The average problem gambler in Australia: • Loses approximately $21,000 per year • Six times more likely to get divorced • Four times more likely to suffer from alcohol abuse • Children of problem gamblers are ten times more likely to become gamblers • Whilst gambling was not found to increase intimate partner violence directly; it does intensify the severity and frequency of violence against women and increase the economic abuse of women in violent relationships (Australian Gambling Research Centre, 2020). 05/03/2023 10:56 AM sheldon Anything in excess is bad. Eating in excess is bad because it leads to diabetes, heart problems, weight problems etc but are we going to ban food? Excess spending on consumer goods like cars and clothes will lead to bankruptcy and family violence and breakdown but are we going to ban vendors from selling and people from buying? Also you should understand economics. Having a lot of money in your bank account will not help the economy grow. You've to spend it - get it circulating & that transforms into GDP. I hope you're not planning on a career in our Ministry of Finance because your views are shallow and will indeed destroy this country. BTW you keep picking on Australia. It's a well-run country without your advice. In fact a lot of Malaysians (Malays, Chinese & others) want to get into Australia. Nobody's fighting to get into Afghanistan & Yemen where gambling's absent - are you? 07/03/2023 6:49 AM Vicky The key point is foreign investors already unload 20% of the funds in Malaysia as our government is chasing them away 07/03/2023 4:56 PM nicholas99 only damacai can do online. ppl scare VT will do more scam if it got apps. 09/03/2023 9:19 AM eklim65 雪槟森三州若换政府 多多万能目标价或斩半https://www.enanyang.my/%E8%B4%A2%E7%BB%8F%E6%96%B0%E9%97%BB/%E9%9B%AA%E6%A7%9F%E6%A3%AE%E4%B8%89%E5%B7%9E%E8%8B%A5%E6%8D%A2%E6%94%BF%E5%BA%9C-%E5%A4%9A%E5%A4%9A%E4%B8%87%E8%83%BD%E7%9B%AE%E6%A0%87%E4%BB%B7%E6%88%96%E6%96%A9%E5%8D%8A 09/03/2023 11:56 AM ty Y I've never seen maybank's analysis of stocks, realized in the stock market.

An additional state, Kedah has banned all legal 4D outlets in the State. Investors are cautious about what will the future be for gaming industries in the country. Genting Bhd, for example, has aggressively planned its casino business expansion to overseas, including the bidding for a new casino in New York. 26/03/2023 5:05 PM TomYam https://klse.i3investor.com/web/pricetarget/research/66944 Gaming - Good Old Days Are Returning Date: 2023-03-29 KENANGA We maintain OVERWEIGHT on the gaming sector as leisure travel normalises post the pandemic. Tourism Malaysia projects 16.1m tourist arrivals in Malaysia in 2023, up 60% from 10.1m in 2022. Over the causeway, the Singapore Tourism Board expects a big jump in visitor arrivals to the island republic of 12m-14m this year over 4.7m recorded last year, underpinned by the return of international tourists, especially those from China. This should benefit casino operators GENM (OP; TP: RM3.56) and GENS (Not Rated), as well as their parent company GENTING (OP: TP: RM5.86). Meanwhile, we project ticket sales of number forecast operators (NFOs) to return to 90% of pre-pandemic levels by end-2023. Largely domestically-driven, their earnings are less directly exposed to external headwinds. Our top picks for the sector are GENTING, being a proxy to the recovery of tourism in both Malaysia and Singapore, and SPTOTO (OP; TP: RM1.95) given its double-digit dividend yields. 29/03/2023 1:07 PM  | |
