Reuters - Betfair Lifts Profit Forecast to Put Off CVC

Online gambling company Betfair raised its profit forecast and cost savings target on Tuesday, making its case for independence as it tries to stave off a $1.4 billion takeover by private equity firm CVC Capital Partners, writes Reuters. Betfair last month rejected a potential offer of 880 pence per share from CVC, saying the price was too low and had too many strings attached, writes Reuters.
