If we take our 9,125,000,000 (25,000,000 X 365) impressions per year and divide by 150,000,000 hours (600,000 players X 250 hours) of playing time then the implication is that there is on average 61 impressions per hour in any game of Football Manager.

Each player plays football manager for an average of 2.9% of their year (250/(365*24))if we assume no change to average playing time in the next 3 months).

In 9 months FM retains 60% of players.

I'm sure these numbers should help when we are trying to model out revenues and growth in FM players. Although as the game becomes more 'mainstream' I'd expect the average hours and retention % to drop. Or maybe they increase with more accessibility? Either way, it would be incrementally more players and the key metric is 61 impressions per hour.

Sports interactive Miles Jacobson - studio Director.

“In July, a full 9 months after #FM19 was released, over 600,000 people played the game via Steam, 59% of the total of people who had bought the game at that point.

Very happy so many people continue to enjoy it!
It''s our aim to provide the best #valueformoney products available. With an average of over 250 hours of play time per person so far in those 9 months, I think we've achieved that :)”

Just keep accumulating intel.

And up 15p in 3 months, fudge. More than doubled.

[hazl] 05/8/2019 11:36

Not at all I pity those that never took part!

Some gold stocks doing quite well could be considered a hedge.

[fudgerella21] 05/8/2019 11:24

Pitty the poor sods, that got in at the peak!

[flashheart] 05/8/2019 11:23

Too many traders on here in and out thinking they're cleverer than the market and changing their tune on a daily basis. 80% of them lose money and are wasting their time as usual.

[fudgerella21] 05/8/2019 11:23

Actually im wrong, its down around 8p in 2 months! Around 20%!

[fudgerella21] 05/8/2019 11:21

If we have a recession, people might even play games more, as they seek home entertainment.

IMO

'As the gaming industry is dominating the globe, in-game advertising is also growing in importance day by day for brands.”

“Younger audiences here have a real passion for football and gaming in particular, and to be able to connect to that at the right time, in the right environment creates tremendous opportunities for brand positioning.”

This case study outlines how Subway used in-game programmatic advertising to increase its online order intake in a creative way, while also building brand awareness.'

Angel you always give mixed messages I notice.
This company have only just started....it is not about focusing on revenue, at this point,though I think we might be pleasantly surprised if a few contracts actually get announced!

I still feel we are in for some exciting news at some point soon!

[angel333] 05/8/2019 10:44

Morning JakNife.
You may be right - I certainly feel that revenue may be below the £1.75m forecast.
That said, I am guessing that Draper will dress up the CEO's outlook as positively as he can...
I can also imagine that Draper would love to make a significant announcement with the accounts. That would be logical in his position.

Ha amusing little flourish at the end 'Happy Monday'!
Almost a childish excitement that the Stock market is having a bad day, and we might have a slight knock!
All I can do at this point, is do a repeat of my post from recently to remind posters that they are the winners here, not someone who revels in others misery and couldn't see a good company if it stared him in the face.

I bought these at under 7p and I could take loads of profit,percentage-wise, but I still think they are a good bet.

Happy Monday!




'Facts from announcement ....

' FM19, the sixth version of Football Manager, launched on 2 November 2018. Bidstack conducted Beta trials in FM19 for around 20 advertising partners, including Talk Talk, AEG, Hofmeister, Converse, ESPN and Penguin Random House, with the Company restricting the number of brands seeking to participate in the beta trials.

Bidstack signed an exclusive dynamic, digital advertising agreement with Codemasters in December 2018 for two games including DiRT Rally 2. The Company is in discussions with several other leading games developers and publishers regarding exclusive partnerships and will provide further updates as and when appropriate.

The Company continues to strengthen its sales team and has placed digital advertising for a number of global brands including 188 Bet, BooHoo Man, Audi, MG Motors and Volkswagen. '

Look at those names!
Finally

'James Draper, CEO, said, "We have made good progress against our stated objectives since coming to the market in September 2018. The funds raised have been put to use primarily on expanding our sales team and refining our technology and the Company has successfully transitioned from proof of concept to revenue generation through the platform. Bidstack is now serving digital dynamic advertising into games across different continents, proving that the platform can scale globally."

Since then the company is working hard and it is my estimation that they cannot say too much at this time.

IMO DYOR

Angel, yes agreed. My first comment was mainly aimed at Still waiting 'Feels like a top, using highly valued stock to buy loss making businesses'.

300k is not a lot of money whether the business was loss making or not.

[hazl] 05/8/2019 09:26

We are living through difficult times but a positive announcement here would be a complete wake-up call I think.

[global nomad] 05/8/2019 08:58

volume still there this morning, plenty of buying on the offer price, down at 29.5. reassuring I suppose...

[global nomad] 05/8/2019 08:47

indeed hazl...

[hazl] 05/8/2019 08:41

Some people would say great opportunity....

[angel333] 05/8/2019 08:19

Just checking the RSP
No bid for Bids at all - not even £100
You can sell in reasonable size at 30.25p
Not the best start to the week but market is rather weak again this morning.
