Boring !! Join Twitter it's all on there
Bids to be swallowed up by the big players out there ? Potential!! Last call to lock and load
JW not even giving bid a mention at all today , can't you tell he's not scaled bk in yet
You have a great point there , something bigger is happening behind the scenes
Massive buying spree for the ones who bailed to get back in now , shorts will burn , the only way is back up now , boom
in a reflective mood this morning, as I wait for my first meeting to arrive. Scrolling through some old photos from the Bidstack journey, as we enter the Festive end of the year. It shows just how far we've come in such a short space of time.
This time last year, we were just a handful of people. Most remain, some have left for new challenges, and the company has grown to nearly 50 staff in that time.
The talent we've put in place now in the UK, US and Latvia, leaves me rather excited for the future of the company.
The technology our team has built-out within the last 12 months, the commercial leaps we are making as a business and the clear path the company has on how and when to execute, is something that, 18 months ago when the company was surviving month by month on Angel funding, I wouldn't have dreamed of.
Life on AIM is an intriguing place - keeping the shareholders abreast with what we are up to behind closed doors, to ensure confidence is retained in the route we are taking - without giving away too much to some worthy and emerging competitors is a tough thing to do. The balance isn't always easy - in the first half of the year, I laid too many breadcrumbs for others to follow, no more. Now - we're keeping our head down and our mouths shut to the outside world, as the only thing that really matters now is delivering. The fun part.
Our SDK and AdConsole are performing as expected - and our team has high standards.
The partnerships we are putting in place excite both myself and every member of our staff. This is far more than 'just another job' to the guys and girls building out this company. Creating an entirely new advertising category, that will - and has - created new roles and positions in companies outside of our own, to service this new revenue stream for the gaming and advertising industries. It feels like, if we keep delivering on what we have ahead of us, we have the potential to 'leave a legacy' - which is important to all of us.
Creating a company from scratch, fighting for its survival every month (we raised money to keep the lights on for 18 months straight - going into the month with no idea of hitting payroll, whilst pivoting the company into a new sector - gaming), to watching it start to scale-up, is something that has obviously meant many sacrifices, but it's now bearing fruit.
We are now in the business end of the year. We've stated the targets we are aiming to achieve by the end of 2019 - and as I sit here, nibbling on my white toast, I can say that we are following the path we set out, to enable us to achieve the objectives we want. Executing at speed, in a structured manner - that builds trust with partners and enables frictionless scale.
So, this started as just another post - but, rumour has it, I ran out of characters to get my point across. Let's see how the coming months run - and how this post ages. I'm proud of what the team is achieving - and look forward to sharing more when we can.
Post on ADVFN: Infinite maze was updated 4 days ago. The update changed the ads to be served after 3 games, now the ads have a little shield icon and if clicked shows it?s pubguard protected and allows you to report the ad.
This board is getting quite boring now , I've noticed that some posters have been so negative the past couple of days , then they bought in and then it's all change , some people change there mind on a daily basis , traders lol , think I'm just gonna stick with the private chat I'm in on bids , filters out the crap without having to filter
Buys showing as sellsToday 11:22
Why are buys showing as sells?/There are more buys and than sells and the share price is falling!
One question that is regularly thrown around on bulletin boards, for the stocks and shares is "Why is my buy showing as a sell?" or "Why is my sell showing as a buy?".
The simple answer to this is that buys are showing as sells and vice versa, because the algorithm used to determine these trades is outdated and decidedly more useless than it would have been thirty years or more ago:
Effectively, a trade is given a "Buy" or "Sell" status depending upon which side of the mid point price of the Bid/Ask spread the trade lands on.
e.g.
Bid= 2p
Mid Point= 3p
Ask= 4p
My trade is filled at a price of 3.1p and is therefore shown as a "Buy" by the system.
Now, errors occur because the actual Bid/Ask spreads at market prices aren't necessarily the same as those that are "officially" listed and used by the algorithm.
I would add, that as more firms are making markets and as brokerages become more price competitive, we've seen a gradual tightening of spreads over the past thirty years, which is the cause of this problem.
When market spreads are nice and wide, this system does actually work accurately, with a smaller level of error.
Linked to this is the phenomenon of this system showing a stock as having more "Buy" trades than "Sell" trades and still falling in price:
In the case of market orders, this happens because because smaller trades (often the case in stocks with small market capitalisations - you can't get the liquidity for large trades meaning only small players exist in the market) tend not to cause large swings in the market Bid/Ask prices, but smaller moves instead.
e.g.
Bid= 2p
Mid Point= 3p
Ask= 4p
My market "Sell" trade goes through at 2.75p (it is below the Mid Point of 3p and therefore shows as a "Sell").
The system then registers the Ask Price ticking down to 3p.
Bid= 2p
Mid Point= 2.5p
Ask= 3p
My next market "Sell" trade goes through at 2.70p (this is now above the Mid Point of 2.5p and therefore shows as a "Buy" even though in reality it was a sell).
This all works in reverse too, making "Buy" trades look like "Sell" trades.
Generally speaking (certainly not always), if a stock is going down, it's going to be because the market is selling more of it than they are buying. Now, this isn't always the case and sometimes with stocks traded by SEAQ you may see market maker tactics used to fill orders that aren't visible on the order book - tree shaking.
Finally, there's a certain irony in that for the more liquid stocks in the market, the ratio of buys to sells can often be reversed to give an accurate impression of the "real" buys vs sells.
All the best,

All the best,
Bids starting to bore the f @@k out of me , wow another big drop !!
With gaming shifting to mobile, developers are looking to monetize their games through advertising, and advertisers are realizing that mobile games attract players from nearly all demographics.
How big is the market for mobile in-game advertising?
We estimate that the US market for in-game advertising on all devices will exceed $3 billion this year, with mobile comprising the majority. Ad spend in all games grew 16% in 2019 and will continue to grow by double-digit rates next year, driven by better ad technology, more free-to-play mobile games and an influx of new advertisers attracted by the relatively brand-safe environment.
Who’s playing mobile games?
Although the stereotype of gamers is that they’re young males, the majority of mobile gamers are female. Females outnumber males by a wide margin in mobile strategy and puzzle games, while the opposite is true of mobile action, racing and shooter games. There is also age diversity, with gamers ages 21 to 35 accounting for 39% of the total and those ages 36 to 50 accounting for 33%. More than a fifth of gamers are 50 and older.
Which ad formats are most important?
Overall, rewarded video is the most prevalent format, but playable ads are growing rapidly. The rise of free-to-play games has also spurred renewed growth in banners.
What’s the best way to target in-game ads?
In contrast to other ad ecosystems, game publishers place more emphasis on contextual than behavioral data. As analysis of in-game and cross-game behavior increases, behavioral targeting is on the rise, but it is still less common and more contained to in-app behavior than advertising in other apps.
Why the fall when buys out weigh the sells , I'll never get aim
Didn't pb get bought out in shares at .35 , and they would have done there research before joining forces , I just think with the back ground noise of TW and then JW changing is views every 5 minute's it's just taken its toll on the share price untill we get more in game news , keep it together investors , ignore the short term noise , wach past pod cast to remind yourself why you invested , patience is needed
