I think the whole market is at around 15 right now, and it ain't all built like PTEC now is it? A 20 (well, +20) PTEC is therefore rational in my view.

Yep forward PE of 16 on a +25% growth rate? Should be +20 imo.

Gala Coral has a 10 year contract with PTEC - such was their enthusiasm and trust in Playtech and vice versa.Ladbrokes had a difficult start with plenty of insider resistance to PTEC, as did William Hill.I am not a great fan of outsourcing IT services but I have no issue with buying in software from the best in the World rather than trying to build this complex software yourself. Some companies use smaller suppliers or internal developers so they retain in-house IT development and IP. It sounds sensible but has not worked for them long term.The question is, when does PTEC reach a point that they cannot offer a point of difference between European bookmakers?

Interesting and a loss to PTEC but I am sure that the LAD deal will now go through

3 Of The Most Exciting Stocks That Money Can Buy! ARM Holdings plc, Emis Group Plc & Playtech PLCBy Peter Stephens - Thursday, 2 July, 2015For many people, investing is exciting. In the same way as betting on a horse or playing the lottery, you never quite know how your investment in a company is going to pan out. Certainly, you can sometimes win, but other times you can lose, which for many investors is a major reason to get involved.However, for other investors the really exciting part of investing is in enjoying the benefits of generating substantial profits on your hard-earned cash. In other words, it is the product of investing (i.e. profits) that really gets the pulse racing.ARM, EMIS, PTECMeanwhile, online gambling company, Playtech (LSE: PTEC), has an excellent track record of earnings growth, with it having risen by 74% between 2009 and 2014. And, looking ahead, further growth is being forecast, with Playtech due to deliver a rise in its earnings of 5% this year and 17% next year.This could prove to be a positive catalyst for the company's share price over the medium term and, with M&A activity very much a key part of its strategy (for example it acquired contracts-for-difference broker, Ava Trade, this week), its shares could be well-worth buying. That's especially the case since Playtech trades on a PEG ratio of just 0.9, which indicates that it offers good value for money.https://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2015/07/02/3-of-the-most-exciting-stocks-that-money-can-buy-arm-holdings-plc-emis-group-plc-playtech-plc/

CFDs are just bets aren't they?The synergies are obvious now Playtech has gone down this path.I expect that a good percentage of people buying CFDs also like a flutter on sports bets and casino gambling. CFDs are highly profitable and there are huge cross selling opportunities.

I have to say that PTEC have the right strategy here buying up smaller online financial companies. This is very clever.

The Ava Trade earnings and profits are given in $$$ yet their HQ is in Dublin. The profit per customer appears to be $1800 which seems extremely good for the broker but not so good for the customers :)
