1,012 shares traded today. What, if anything, does it infer?
Out of interest I'd like to hear about what people think the value of a single gamer playing eSports. Assume the person plays for an average of 4 hours a day and the eSports they play contains ads provided by Bidstack. What is the value of this person to Bidstack. ? Any suggestions?
Gamers of the world, unite: eSports
America’s largest eSports facility opens tomorrow in Arlington, Texas. It will hold up to 2,500 video-gamers, who will gather to watch each other compete amid strobe lights, LED screens and thundering music. E-sports—as competitive gaming is known—are booming, on track to generate $906m in revenue worldwide this year, up 38% from 2017. Most fans tune into matches online: Twitch, a streaming service owned by Amazon, counts 140m viewers per month. But increasingly firms are staging live events, lured by ticket sales and the chance to nurture an avid fanbase. There have been 45 big tournaments so far this year. In other ways, too, competitive gaming looks like professional sports of the analogue kind, with leagues, sponsors and multi-million-dollar prizes on offer. Most people still think of gamers as maladjusted teens who hole up for hours in the dark, alone but for their consoles. Turns out they like each other’s company.
"Advertiser's should boycott technology companies such as Facebook and Google until they are serious about tackling the 'scandal' of online terrorist material. mPs said yesterday"
From The Times today, front page , first sentence.
i know some recommend waiting until news and then buying but i'm already in and simply hoping for positive news. time will tell if this strategy works out well.
i'm amazed that no other company is doing the same as bidstack. if bidstack doesn't grow (and quickly) surely another company will come along with the same business model? it just seems so obvious to advertise inside the games to make it appear natural. best of luck all
I do think Bidstack has a lot of potential and I can see FM19 is kind of perfect for in game advertising. But what about other games? Take for example games set I the past - where can the adverts be placed? Or is Bidstack 'just' stuck with eSports?
Yes a good presentation. Money Sponge mentions there is always a chance of a possible takeover at some point in the future. Would have thought this kind of company would be interesting for Softbank Vision Fund? Only time will tell. gla
Just managed to buy 200,000 on HSBC Invest Direct at 6.680p but its under KIN ticker not BIDS. Hope this is correct. gla
Dorkingman, You may right, I don't know but when you write "......near wellbore has had 2 years to fill back to optimum. " into what void exactly would the oil fill? Are you referring to fissures that will fill up? I'd be interested to know more. thanks. gla
these reports of tremors and earthquakes sound like shake news to me. gla
Good to read a post that makes sense. Thank you zoom.
many thanks 'jdm33' . good to know. I was thinking that if UKOG get good results from their Broadford Bridge then isn't this the same geology (or very similar) to PEDL 235 and so would be good news for IGAS? if UKOG have 300km2 of oil bearing strata then doesn't that mean that IGAS have 100km2 of basically the same resource? I'm not a geologist though.
IGAS has the licence for PEDL 235 according to the UK government website. Is this correct does anybody know or has IGAS given up PEDL 235?? thanks
