Buying HBOS shares

If you can buy HBOS shares today for 195p is that not a good deal? Have I missed something? Surely that's a 37p (18.9%) profit. Is the only downside that the Lloyds shareholders reject the bid (which I have heard is very unlikely) or that the regulator rejects the bid (even more unlikely).

1 HBOS share = 0.83 x Lloyds TSB share price.
There is a premium to be had, but the risk of the deal falling through would wipe out any value in HBOS.0 -
