I'm a complete newbie to trading (never traded with real money before) so apologies if I'm seeing something which isn't there. 
I've searched some of the big betting/gaming companies like 888, William Hill, Ladbrokes, PaddyPower etc. and I noticed that all their share prices went up between about December 2011 to a peak in about March 2013, when they all started to drop.
I'm wondering if anyone can explain why this happened? What was good about 2012 for this industry and what bad thing(s) happened around March 2013? (if indeed anything did happen)
