Me. I'm Ronnie Pickering

And therefore OD as well :-)

RONNIE PICKERING!!!

Ronnie Pickering!!

Ronnie Pickering?

Yes the SP is on its arse but I have gone on record before to say I like what Yooma are building.

My only frustration is the inaction since the acquisition of Big Swig, I think that that in collaboration with Socati this has real potential.

Just some gentle fun OD, please don't take any offence

Old Ham (Not very) Athletic?

Just a theory.

The Gambling Commission website shows IMG Arena US has held a betting host licence for live events since March 2020. Since then they have acquired OpenBet meaning EDR basically have all the ingredients they need to set up, and have full control of, their own sportsbook.

If they acquire Leap they can bolt on a casino.

I may be mistaken but it looks like one of those pending licences is for Leap to host its own casino.

Some impressive names in the updated list of partners on the Leap website - DraftKings, Bet365 & Casumo. GVC updated to Entain.

@ ICE London today. Just one appointment remaining @ 16:30.

Anyone available to attend? I have a list of questions!!! ;-)

The Brucie bonus with palm oil is there is a huge market for the waste product as well with the kernel shells sold for biomass and livestock feed once the oil has been extracted.

Cheers Mat. Very impressive homework. I have a limited knowledge of the damage that palm oil production causes to the planet but have been aware the world has become addicted to its use for some time. Sounds like a very interesting diversification of the seed pf on the face of it.

Barwick, Jim Mellon talks some sense and some absolute nonsense. In the case of his dairy industry comments I would suggest he is talking complete and utter bullocks.

Agree with all that, Mat.

Where are you getting the synthesised palm oil from? I would be interesting to know more, it seems palm oil is in just about everything these days. It will be a winner if it can be done more sustainably without trashing rain forest.

As someone who works closely with the farming community I can't say I'm particularly enthused by the clean meat proposition but I believe Matador is right, this industry will take off in the next decade or so as it ticks the animal welfare and low carbon production boxes. It will undoubtably be an inferior product but previous history suggests we will all learn to live with that.

Here is why, OD commented that beef is not as tasty these days as there is less fat. He is right, less fat means less flavour, but the reason for this was the result of necessity. In 1988 the government introduced a whole host of controls to eradicate BSE including the requirement for beef cattle to be slaughtered far younger (under 30 months of age) so they did not have that mature fatty flavour of old.

Did we all stop eating beef since 1988? Of course not, we got used to it being an inferior product than it once was.

Clean meat will see history repeating. The flavour will be not as good as it once was but I will put money on it that we will still eat it.

By the way OD if you want good beef these days you need to buy the stuff that has been hung for 3 or 4 weeks, you won't find it in a supermarket, you will have to go to good butcher.

80 Mill. I can't see that coming back to bite you in the ar se, Mat ;-)

A very good update on Eurox. Now we just need LGP, Yooma and Portage share prices to correct to more appropriate levels rather than how this depressed market currently values them. I have a hunch we will discover if Leap is a sale or IPO around the time of the Endeavor OpenBet acquisition completing. I can't remember if that is Q2 or Q3. If its a sale we will be cooking on gas. Patience required.

Keeper should save that.
