Leap what’s it worth to #FFWD? No idea but..
A browse of 888sport shows 24 virtual sports games
9 are Leap
8 are Rush about to list NYSE at $2 billion MCAP
5 are Inspired trading at $140 million

It’s moving..

Looks ready to tick up again

There is huge news coming and we’ve had some great news over the last week.

Yooma corporate structure & Management team announced & CBPM.

Refers to the largest cannabis company on the planet...

Their founder and President is also the same person whose private Investment Fund is the largest cash shareholder in Emmac and who led the latest funding round.

In much the same way that Aphria were large early investors in Nuuvera before buying them out at huge profit. Roll on the news...

Or 0.9% of the company in those 4 trades.

It’s a very quiet board by the way....

Going to take a very long ODonnell special to knock this off it’s perch pre Yooma listing.

GVC holdings who MGM have bid $11 billion for. That’s a Leap partner. Yep no one is interested in Leap Dougie. Don’t mix aim taxi drivers interest and large corporate investors and partners.

Young Dougie ODonnell. Catchy

look at young ODonnell...

5 investments in 2021 are going to revalue upwardly let’s look at just one..

Leap Gaming
FFWD are the majority shareholders with 43.4%
IMG own 25% they have fully integrated Leaps virtuals & casino games into IMG Arena. (See imgarena.com)

Who are IMG? IMG is a global leader in sports, events, media and fashion, operating in more than 30 countries. The company represents and manages some of the world’s greatest sports figures and fashion icons; stages hundreds of live events and branded entertainment experiences annually; and is one of the largest independent producers and distributors of sports media. IMG also specializes in sports training; league development; and marketing, media and licensing for brands & sports organisations.

Licensing for brands & sports organisations -This is key. It enables Leap to create licensed BRANDED gaming.

How big are IMG? Look at their client list Rolex, Etihad, Microsoft, JP Morgan etc they offer these companies brand strategy and activation; sponsorships and endorsements; creative development and design; digital and original content; naming rights; public relations; live events; branded impact; and B2B services help brands leverage the world around them to create targeted, relevant programs that deliver measurable value.

IMG & the Sporting world - IMG support the world’s leading brands, institutions, events and trademarks through professional licensing management. By connecting their clients with properties interested in partnering as licensees, they help them monetize their intellectual property while creating new avenues for marketing and promotion.

Brands include :-Ferrari, Ducati, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Maserati, VW, Barcelona, Juventus, Roma, Le Mans 24, Bundesliga, NFL, Rugby World Cup, The Open, US open, French Open, Euro 2020, UFC, NASCAR etc

All the above could be created as a branded game by Leap. So far they have created branded tennis, branded golf, branded NASCAR. They have a lot more in the pipeline. The possibilities are endless...

What’s going to happen to Leap? A London listing & IPO is proposed for Q1. See the US IPO market in 2020 dominated by gambling IPOs, all of which have had spectacular rises in value. The market is very hot due to a few factors, US law changes allowing gambling in virtually every state, covid meaning land based casinos are now investing massively in online gaming (see MGM, Entain, Caesar’s deals etc)

Value to FFWD?
Look at 888sports website (one of the world’s biggest gambling sites) virtual sports are provided by Leap & Inspired Gaming. Inspired is listed on the Nasdaq at $150 million MCAP....They don’t have a licensing partner like IMG!

That is impressive

The responsibility of managing communication between FFWDs corporate management and its investors lies firmly at the door of Ed McDermott.

I’ve been a vocal critic of his efforts & ability since he came into the company. He earns a decent part-time salary and as such he is my and your employee. He isn’t a shareholder, he is a paid employee and he isn’t doing the job we would like him to be doing.

I’ve been blocked by him and FFWD for publicly criticising their performance. It’s up to you as shareholders to put pressure on them to do the basics of their role. Their role is to work for the sole benefit of the shareholders.

They are choosing what news to put out there which is wrong and then hide behind the fact that it’s already in the public arena. You only see it if someone finds it and posts it on here or via twitter.

Their investments are superb, there is no doubt about that in anyone’s mind, but the management has meant that only people who know about the investments will hold shares in the company. Anyone looking in couldn’t buy shares in the company because their website is appalling, their PR is written by someone who would fail English GCSE, their IR is generally late or never arrives.

It could be suggested that the above is a deliberate act to suppress the SP,

The SP will react violently on the incoming listing news and those who have held and bought on every downturn will be rewarded. They are the only company on aim who don’t seem to want to attract attention or shareholders.
