NYX appears to be doing rather well, which is good for Sportech who took a 6% stake in NYX as part of its SNG sale. Sportech will also earn half a million pounds for each SNG contract that NYX makes over five years (up to three contracts).

10% upside over next 2 weeks.

Little mention.

Playtech supplies software and services so is not directly affected by the volume of transactions at bookmakers. The UN recently reported that 90% of sports betting is illegal and estimates it to be be three trillion dollars a year. As countries focus on reducing illegal sports gambling then this is good for PTEC.

My worry for the results is that there was no big gaming events like world cup or whatever so will there be a driver for a good year? Still a holder...

25th Feb -full year results.

[manics] 09/2/2016 12:25

There it is after all. Sub 700p. Not a buyer just yet...

[smoothgorilla] 04/2/2016 13:11

3 weeks until results. Should be telling.

Is the consensus that the OpenBet acquisition would be positive for the share price?I know OpenBet very well as they are a client of mine so I've no doubt the acquisition will be good for the PTEC bottom line. I'm more interested in how the market might view the deal if PTEC have to pay £300m+ for them.

Went long on a serious SB on ptec on a September contract.Up over 2 percent today but I suspect there is a lot more to come.Openbet really is an obvious buy. They have the tech and some serious customers including Hills.Hills may not want to risk getting frozen if ptec win it.Interesting times but spotlight really back on the sector

FWIW I'd agree with that Paul. GL.

[polaris] 24/12/2015 09:49

Think that H&S you mentioned has been invalidated now that the neckline has been broken to the upside.

I doubt that this will go very much either way until the FY figures are released and some statement on how they will spend that cash pile now that the financial SB company acquisitions have gone south.

regards all,

Paul

[manics] 09/12/2015 08:58

Pretty clear H&S forming? Could indicate sub 700p.

No position. No short -though I'd be buying heavily one again if the market were to give me that (sub 700p) chance.

[pyemckay] 03/12/2015 11:06

nice thought

[undervaluedassets] 03/12/2015 10:13

thought for the day. . .

At the time of writing PTEC have massive profit on Plus500 stake . .

[trentendboy] 01/12/2015 17:47

Veru interesting. Consolidation continues. Hills might be in for one of these and 888 are always looking for add ons.

MAYBE of interest for the now spare cash in the war chest ???

Well done longwell. It now needs to maintain power here to avoid a H&S on the chart (if that's your thing).

[longwell] 01/12/2015 08:41

said it was a steal, nearly 5% already and along way to go, glad I top sliced paysafe and increased my holding, great sector to be in at the moment.

Sun/bingo deal sees PTEC returning to it's knitting.

Sun bingo is one of the most popular bingo games in the uk.

I think the market will like this.
