Chim Pui Chung v Apple Daily Ltd & others
| Martingale (betting system)
HK Court of First Instance, 3-Feb-2017
Mr Chim wins HK$100k for an article criticising his claim of a winning formula for betting on the 2014 soccer World Cup. No evidence was advanced in defence to show that he was wrong. Mathematicians would recognise his claim to be a Martingale system. Even with no house-edge, the net expected value of the series of bets is zero-win, because although there would be a small net win on most series, there is also a small risk of a huge loss. In reality, no punter has unlimited capital, no house accepts infinite bets, each series of matches comes to an end and every house takes an edge.

Shinhint (2728): Webb-site CCASS Analysis
Chim Pui Chung has sold the 27.99% bought last year from Chairman Jacky Cheung Wah Keung, while on 4-Nov-2014 Cheung sold 6.22%, cutting his stake below the Takeover threshold to 28.35%. Meanwhile, China Merchants Bank and 2 of its subsidiaries, as custodians, have acquired 26.34%, but nobody has disclosed an interest in these shares. The subsidiaries are CMB International Securities and Wing Lung Securities. It is statistically unlikely that these 3 are acting for mutually independent buyers. The SFC should investigate whether a concert party is underway. (13-Nov-2014)
