I wondered moneygen if we were suitable for inclusion on the NERD ETF?
Yes it exists and very much about ESports.

Walk me through it two degrees - are they gonna put more than 20% (£1m) of their fundraise into the BIDS opportunity?

If DS is involved do you not believe there is a conflict of interest here?

I can’t see it at all.

Where is a more cloud cuckoo land BB than this BB girdz?

Asimilar group....could this have anything to do with bids. Potential Placing
03 January 2020

Asimilar Group Plc (AIM: ASLR), the investing company focused on technology opportunities in the fields of big data, machine learning, telematics and the internet of things (IoT), is pleased to announce that it is making progress in exploring investment opportunities which the Board believes could be transformational for the Company.

Following an approach from a number of existing and some potentially new professional investors, the Board is considering a further fundraise. It is currently contemplated that the Company could raise up to around £5.5 million at some time in the near future at a subscription price to be agreed, however indications are that it will be at or above the current share price.

The net proceeds of the fund raise, if any, are intended to be used, in conjunction with the funds currently held by Asimilar, to pursue the Company's investing policy of focusing on technology opportunities in the fields of big data, machine learning, telematics and the internet of things. The Company is currently actively considering a number of potential investment opportunities some of which may, or may not, lead to a reverse takeover at some time in the future.

In the event that Asimilar raises a further £5 million, it expects to have net cash available for investment of approximately £7.5 million.

There is no guarantee that the fundraise being contemplated will complete or that any particular investment will be made.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014.

Shame money can’t be made from word volume. Lots of exciting words though which does give a latent atmosphere of technological disruption sneaking under the radar of the obvious cloud applications, into the realms of onboarding major players in all areas of the virtual ecosystem.

"If you've ever heard me talk about these things, I talk about how traditional sports have to sell media rights. They have to have sponsors. They have to have advertisers. They have to have all this influx of money, because they don't have anything, at the end of the day. They don't own the ball. You and I could start up a new football league tomorrow if we wanted to and no one can stop us from using that sport as a vehicle for a program. We'd get our own sponsors, do our own things, and we could do anything we wanted. Nobody owns the IP of the football.

With video games, we're in a very different place, in that we can look at things differently if we choose to. As many esports start up, they look at it going, hey, this is a marketing a vehicle, a messaging vehicle, an engagement vehicle, a community retention and engagement vehicle, rather than a P&L against a thing to provide an entertainment that creates profit. For us, owning the game gives us the opportunity that every activity we do, every dollar we spend on an esport, is actually a way for us to engage with our existing communities, create viewership, create playership, create opportunities for monetization within the game and on the game itself."

last paragraph in particular ...thanks aiden

Oh dear is that all you're worth niggle?
Hope your portfolio improves next year.

Next stop 5p

[melody9999] 03/1/2020 17:43

Just done my 2019 yearly review and pleased that BIDS increased my portfolio value by 2.53%. Made good money on the way up from 6p to 35p though I was in and out on 2 or 3 occasions. Then gave some back a couple of times on the retrace...closed out my last position at 18.5p.

Sadly I think this is now uninvestable for me with Draper at the helm because I don't believe he is the man that will take this business forward. So I'm looking for a 'management changes' RNS. Perhaps where Draper appoints a joint CEO / MD or maybe he takes position as Technical Director and brings in a 'heavy hitter' to lead the business - someone with previous experience at running a listed company.

Hey aiden great link you provided.....


'How does esports affiliates monetize their content without offending their user base who is accustomed to uninhibited access? What other thoughts do you have here?'


Mr. Hershey: This is a great question. In esports, the content has historically been free for the end consumer. The audience grew up on free(mium) platforms like YouTube and Twitch, making a full transition to a subscription-based or pay-per-view model highly unlikely. That said, we are seeing esports publishers sign significant media rights deals for platform exclusives. Twitch reportedly paid $45 per year for Overwatch League, while bilibili just reportedly signed a 3-year, $113 million deal for the exclusive Chinese rights to League of Legends Worlds. These are big numbers, and ones that I expect will continue to grow overall. You also have big non-endemic sponsors across various esports leagues and tournaments that see tremendous value in reaching the esports (18-35) audience, paying for those eyeballs. In terms of advertising and in-game monetization, I think we have only scratched the surface. The digital immersiveness of games allows for very compelling advertising placements. Imagine a corporate logo overlaid on Summoner's Rift.'

Leave it out Tom you're boring

[pwhite73] 03/1/2020 16:51

People say they want news. But you are getting news and plenty of it. The problem is this. With all these worthless AIM companies the only news you ever get is news about company changing news never the charging news itself. The RNS will always advise you of the potential for revenue. You will never get an RNS advising you that revenue has been banked.Expect further falls next week as placing continues to get worked.

PWhite/winnfrith head of N50 with his minions on the BB. .You've been found out sunny Jim.

Haha, on the premium content there would be at least three mistakes in a sentence of that word count...

[throwingmuses] 03/1/2020 16:29

From fund manager to sewer rat on his hind legs jumping at the coat tails of a bright young company, seems unlikely money. No amount of pent up jealousy could make a man slide to such depths.

[moneygenxyz] 03/1/2020 16:09

"PWhite73 is a blue premium poster paying BUY direct debit"

Buy or by?

Sounds like a TW kind of spelling mistake.

Yes hazl, it sounds great. Made me think of the John malcovich comment, about how everybody on the boards would be less concerned and so much more excited if they could see things through his, JDs, eyes. Big wheels in motion I think. Got those shorts closed yet boys?

THROWINGMUSES

Indeed. News is what we are looking forward to and there were some hints in the piece I posted.
'providing the Company with access to significant advertising revenues from top tier global brands which will help fuel its future expansion.'

It sounds positive .
