Smells of ambition, aggression, a little frustration, but I continue to be impressed by the CEOs clarity of vision and er...delivering. Odds stacked to the upside?

Good to see another very strong update

The thing that leapt out the page for me, was the fact that PBTY is no longer a slots-only company.

"In Italy, the Company's Playyoo subsidiary has launched an iPhone and iPad
football betting application for SNAI, to coincide with the opening of the
Italian football season. Betting volumes have been higher than expected in
this new market."

I think it is going to be very interesting to see how this football betting app develops. I wonder how big it can get? Do they lay off the bets with bigger companies? Will it be added to their UK offering at some stage?

If the technology behind these sports betting apps is good, it opens up all sorts of opportunities. Having the people, the technology and the skills to develop such products makes PBTY an even more attractive takeover target, imo.

Positive update 35% growth in these market conditions can't be sniffed at, no mention of what the profit maybe YE.

[beeezzz] 12/10/2012 17:34

Hmm...Bit of volume today!!!

I have invested in Probability because I am convinced that mobile gambling will be very big. I have a much larger stake in NetPlay TV.

It appears to me that NetPlay TV is Probability's main competitor and vice versa. I would be interested to learn from PBTY holders why they think PBTY might be the best bet as I am considering investing further in mobile gambling companies.

From that NetPlay TV trading update :

"...The Company is particularly encouraged by the uptake of its mobile and tablet offering where revenues have increased by 107% versus Q3 2011. Mobile and tablet gaming continues to be a key focus for the Company and during the period it has launched mobile slots games which will significantly enhance the existing TV roulette mobile offering...."



More over on the ADVFN NetPlay TV bulletin board.

Today's NetPlay TV trading update arguably bodes well for Probability as well.

Probability's (LON:PBTY) dip into gaming waters is encouraging and means it can target new types of players, says City broker Numis, which rates the stock a 'buy'.
Mobile gambling specialist Probability earlier unveiled a gaming deal with America's pioneering company Glu Mobile (NASDAQ:GLUU).

Probability (AIM: PBTY), the mobile gambling specialist, announces that it has entered into a strategic relationship for mobile gambling with Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), a leading global developer and publisher of freemium games for smartphone and tablet devices.

Probability, the UK's only pure-play publicly-traded mobile gambling company, will
leverage successful, existing Glu original IP to create a suite of Glu-branded real-money mobile slot games. Many of Glu's leading brands, such as Contract Killer, Deer Hunter, and Gun Bros, have millions of worldwide fans. The slot games will be distributed to audiences in Probability's regulated markets, initially the UK and Italy.

Glu original IP-branded casino games will be offered as part of the Probability portfolio to its direct customers on brands, including LadyLuck's, as well being available as additional content to its white label partners and B2B clients which include PaddyPower, William Hill, Rank and Ladbrokes.

Charles Cohen, CEO of Probability, commented: "We are delighted to be partnering with a pioneer and leader in the freemium mobile gaming industry. The games developed by Glu feature great characters and stories and they look fantastic. Some of these titles have had many millions of downloads worldwide. We have a unique opportunity to work with Glu to fashion great slots games that will appeal to our customers as well as those of our B2B clients.

"We look forward to deepening our relationship with Glu as we seek to expand our
regulatory reach to new markets worldwide."

Niccolo de Masi, Chief Executive Officer of Glu Mobile, added: "We believe that mobile gambling momentum is beginning to accelerate on a global basis, and with this deal Glu becomes an early mover. We anticipate that as additional markets around the world open up to real-money mobile gaming we will expand our investment in the subsector. We view real-money mobile gaming as an opportunity to extend the reach of our successful original IP to new demographics, as well as deepen engagement and rewards for our players."

The relationship has been structured so that Probability will provide a comprehensive operational role; accepting all gambling-related regulatory responsibilities.

Afternnon all
Just bought in. Looks good for the future.
good luck all

[trentendboy] 27/9/2012 17:54

The first hint that PBTY are going to join the takeover party.

Hills are buying everyone else - Ladbrokes might want to be seen to do something.

This would be a cheap pickup (£1.20 a share should do it)

[beeezzz] 27/9/2012 17:16

No PEG no profit yet, no estimates either.

Herewith 20/09/2012 Shares Magazine buy recommendation for NetPlay TV taken from This is Money article :

"NetPlay TV's introduction of a dividend and a prospective 3.1 per cent yield suggests you should buy at 12p. The six months prior to the 30th of June saw a 74 per cent increase in new depositing customers. As a result of increased revenue, pre-tax profit and cash generation, NetPlay TV declared a maiden interim of 0.15p this year. The online gaming provider looks like a bargain using the price/earnings to growth (PEG) valuation technique, sitting on a PEG ratio of 0.3. BUY."

How does a PEG ratio of 0.3 for NetPlay TV compare with the Probability PEG ratio?

I would expect other parties will also be interested, that would set fire to this stock, with very few shares in free float.

[trentendboy] 20/9/2012 21:48

Back in play

Will fly on the first sniff

[beeezzz] 20/9/2012 15:12

Looks like WH maybe thinking about another bid for PBTY.

[bbluesky] 18/9/2012 21:36

onlinebingosites.com gives it 5 stars and 8.3/10 on customer voting. Give the company a call - who knows they may give you some credits!Interesting.

[guidfarr] 18/9/2012 21:14

but has anyone actually tried playing the games?

i have an iphone 4s and a 3rd generation ipad - always seem to have problems when i try to play?

[beeezzz] 01/9/2012 11:59

Numis as a 150p price target, going from strength to strength.

[beeezzz] 29/8/2012 16:36

I wonder what return they are expecting from that £800k advertising blitz, 10 times.

We'll have to wait an see.
