The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Good morning TI.. can’t do Monday as I am flying. My question is why was it necessary for Estadio to be purchased from CMS; who are the common shareholders between Estadio and Capital Media; who benefitted from the 5m Mx MoS investment. It just seems another convoluted deal like Krunch. Needs more clarity and reasoning.
BottleRocket… exactly my sentiments. It’s all confusing … Make what you will out of these extracts from press releases… ” Initially Capital Media Sports will acquire the assets and IP of Estadio. Given its limited recent operations, there is no financial information regarding Estadio… AND …Capital Media Sports, which has a strategy seeking to acquire a number of sporting publications under which it has signed heads to terms to acquire Estadio, a major existing heritage sports media publication in Mexico formerly owned by Capital News S.A ("Capital News" and part of the Capital Media Group).
I agree Techno / there is a little info on Capital Media available but nothing on Estadio (not even a mention on the WebSite). Capital’s main news is the raising of funding (all of the funding came from MoS and it doesn’t mention that this is for a new business of Estadio Bet). The funding implies it was for working capital for the main business.. Still little information andI am not sure who the principal “Managers & Directors” are of Capital.. As for joint Q&A .. quite common in funding presentations.. So, I’m asking again, does anyone have any information on Estadio Bet please?

Good morning Citi.. I have read the brief details contained on one RNS summary page.. I have “Googled”.. I just can’t find any information to “put flesh on the bones”.. Could you provide web site links that may help all of us please?
Lots of good opinion on MoS. BUT:: who is Estadio? How are the main shareholders (other than MoS)? What are the track records of success of the management? Where are they based in Mexico? Do any of the shareholders have other ventures (private or quoted) and can we see a web site for sedation or their shareholders other interests? Our future is dependent on Estadio and the controlling shareholders.. can someone (anyone) start to put facts and details regarding Estadio and the controlling shareholders please?
Toffee .. I have no interest in “de-ramping” nor “ramping”. What concerns me are comments giving possible and current investors with information that is unsubstantiated. I will question misleading or unsupported information and ask for evidence. If anything, I want the share price ramped out of the stratosphere so I can recoup my investment.
Good morning again Techno.. please, could I ask you not to make statements as you did in your 7.16 post …” For example let's say it goes very well and Estadio Bet is worth $100m within 2 years…”. There is no basis for this “hope value”. Agreed, it could be $101m or $0m. Mos has to,prove itself,a s does Estadio, step by step.. firstly hitting the hoped for £1m cash surplus in 4 months time. I must say that you, as new Investor/Shareholder and new on the particular bb; you have a depth of knowledge and Due Diligence that would make most corporate finance and analysis put to shame. Well done and we rely on your knowledge base. Could I ask you, as Estadio is now the principal basis for MoS value, do you have a weg site address for Estadio Bet; who is behind it; an office address.…? Something to grasp (kick the brick in property parlance) that Estadio are real and we can follow their progress. Thr RNS have been scant in information and there is no contact details…
Thank you for your insight in your post of 18.44 Techno. I was doing “the Maths” for many years..! I was pleased to see your later comment :: “ estimate MOS themselves also have around £1m cash..”. I presume this is surplus cash not required for day-to-day expenses nor dividends? In that case, and assuming continued cash surpluses on a regular basis; there should be more than sufficient funding to maintain the 25% shareholding in future Placings. Who knows.. MoS might be suppling additional working capital to Estadio by investing some of the surplus cash reserves. It’s all dependent upon Estadio being profitable and gaining significant market share for it to become a Take-Over prospect. The whole valuation will change when a Dividend is paid and a pe can be adopted. Long way to go with many variables (good and bad) starting with your predictions of the £1m cash surplus “in say 4 months time”.
Citi : in reply to “why do they need a War Chest”.. MoS will need to build up a chest of cash reserves to subscribe to future Placings by Estadio in order to maintain their 25% shareholding base (assuming that, as you say in your comment, Placings will be happening in the future at a greater mkt cap valuation.
“ This would suggest to me that once launched further investors will come onboard but what value then ?…” Dilution of MoS interest unless MoS can get a war chest in place to subscribe £-4-£ in any future Placing; which would show little or no growth in value … as we’ve all experienced in the recent MoS Placings…
In February a White Paper was issued about iGaming in LATM. There are 2 paragraphs that will show MoS to be feast or famine (and is interdependent on their local Partners behaviour) :- Mexico’s iGaming industry manages to rise at an impressive rate of 40% per year, going from almost US$ 4 billion in 2023 to US$ 10.8 billion by 2026 – the cross-border share of that volume also grows, going from 22% in 2023 to 28% in 2026. Thus, even with still-developing regulation, Mexico’s betting market should not be overlooked. & In this scenario, international merchants are now eager to explore the region’s betting market; however, it is crucial to obtain in-country expertise to ensure compliance with newly approved regulations and avoid any reputational risk that could ensue from entering these high-risk markets without the proper knowledge.
John Barker. Current only directorship is JRMB Consultancy that has been making a loss after loss.. It has greater liabilities than assets.. Short form accounts but looks as if their cash at bank & debtors (only assets) can’t meet their current liabilities. I wish him well and hope his investment criteria and sell-out will benefit all of us.
Good morning City ::…” incredibly tedious and boring -how about doing some research…”. If MoS were more diligent with transparency then we may have at least some information to make a reasonable assessment of the prospects. But, to rely on third party unverified journalists opinions and then put a finger in the air and say “we’re going to get 2% of that market” is not good or reasoned research. Has MoS secured their license that was due to be issued last year? Without that then we have, once again, 100% of nothing… We like your posts but, PLEASE, put some fat behind the fiction.
