Well, its nice to see the Pokerwize.com page visit still building momentum (given that people only go there for download and not to play on line, and that it only covers a percentage of web users)

Also reach per million net users figure now up to 4.5, a jump of 169%.

A very good post on AFN, so copied over for reference.



opmoc - 12 Jan'07 - 14:05 - 4461 of 4461


I have recently increased my position at what I consider to be a very good price, for several reasons.

1. This is in effect a start-up company where large investors have injected significant capital at a share price considerably above current levels.

2. The business has gone live and appears to be well on target - and may even be ahead of target.

3. I believe the share price is suppressed for reasons completely unconnected with the progress of the company. These are

(a) US legislation which is almost completely irrelevant as the company never had any plans to target the US market.

(b) The assumption that there would be significant equity dilution at current levels due to the Headstart facility.

(c) Due to (b) I believe that there is in effect a significant short position - maybe even by Headstart or associates. (if I was in the same business as Headstart that is exactly what I would do in order to hedge my own financial position)

4. Foo is no fool. As he himself has very significant equity exposure, he would be highly unlikely to put this at risk of serious dilution. In his original business plan he will or (should have) already raised sufficient capital in order for the company to go live and become cash flow positive assuming that conservative targets were met.

5. If there is no equity dilution, the short positions will need to be closed, and this is a very illiquid stock. The shorts will only be able to be closed at whatever price existing holders are prepared to sell at. I believe most holders of this stock are long term, as true value is highly unlikely to be realised for at least a couple of years.

6. I believe that the capital injected into this company has been well used and not wasted as is the case with many similar companies of this size.

7. I believe the company has significantly more inherent value, than is indicated by its tiny Market Cap.

8. The details of the deal with Partouche have not been revealed but may be significantly better than has been assumed.

This remains a high risk investment, but I think it likely that the shareprice will be considerably higher than current levels in a couple of years time. They could of course go bust in which case I will lose my entire investment - but I think the odds are worth taking balancing the upside potential with the risk of total failure.

The Alexa ratings are also picking up for Pokerwize.com and lets not forget, you only need visit Pokerwize.com once, when you download the software, as when you play on line you do not access the Pokerwize.com site (unlike others, eg PKR.com, where you must go through the PKR web site each time in order to play)

Hi PP, I first held this stock a couple of years ago under the name of Bits corp. Currently prices are about a quarter of what I got out at, and I am considering holding again, purely out of my profits, therefore gaining a free ride. You suggested several reasons for why you think the price has been supressed. The one thing that slightly concerns me is, that if you can download pokerwise for free, how is the company going to make money from it. Is the only incentive the cash prizes.

PapalPower - 15 Jan 2007 10:57 - 80 of 128

oilyrag, its on line poker.

Pokerwize you play on line, as part of the Microgaming network. Playwize earn money from the rakes, like other Poker software companies do.

The old BITS which is the new Playwize, is not really about gaming software now, its about being an On Line Gaming company.

oilyrag - 15 Jan 2007 11:32 - 81 of 128

Ta, thought that they would only have produced the software, hadn't realised that the company had changed strategories.

PapalPower - 17 Jan 2007 13:59 - 82 of 128

Yep, all changed now.


The TV Tourney, details below. Its a Freeroll, so its free to enter, and of course, you can win a prize and get yourself on TV too :) All for free.

Still Waiting - 17 Jan 2007 22:11 - 83 of 128

PP, great to see TV exposure starting Monday, should bring in a few more 'Z's

PapalPower - 17 Jan 2007 23:13 - 84 of 128

Yes, and also there is a 1500$ Freeroll on TV on the 29th Jan as well.

In case anyone is wondering how to enter the Pokerwize Monday Night TV Freeroll 500$ tomorrow, as they have not played these tournements before, here is a guide, I have highlighted the "click" area in Green Boxes :

Open up Pokerwize and go to "Play Online"

Then in the Main Lobby Area (if not already) then click on "Change View" and change so you get the classive view, as below -

324376.jpg


In the classic view, you can "Choose Your Game" with the left hand menu, so here, click on "TV"

324377.jpg


In the TV sub menu that opens click on "Scheduled Tournements"

324381.jpg


Then in the "Scheduled Tournements" sub menu click on "Multi Table"

324382.jpg


Now in the big "Choose your game" middle menu you'll see the 2 TV tournements for Pokerwize, one on the 22nd and one on the 29th, both free to enter but with cash prizes, and also being shown on TV.

324383.jpg


So click on which one your want to enter, and then in the right hand side, click on "Tournement Lobby"

324384.jpg


One in the Tournement Lobby, click on the "Join/Leave" button which will then ask if you wish to register.

324385.jpg



Now, you can go back to the main lobby and also register for the 29th Take Sports TV Freeroll tournement as well, by clicking that one, and entering the password "TVWIZE" when requested during the register process.


You'll see in the Tournement Lobby area the time until the game starts, once you are registered all you have to do is have Pokerwize open and Play Online at the starting time, and the game windown will automatically open for your to start playing, at the tournement start time, its that simple..........


Hope that helps !!!
