RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:vote 'against' this mergerI mostly agree with your post. I think that the combined company is a huge client acquisition monster. I expect they will use the SKYBET AI-based platform to huge advantage worldwide, that poker has come back to life as a profitmaker (not just user acquisition) and cross-channel is the only way to survive.
Companies like THE SCORE, William Hill, or others that only have sports betting, will not make it on their own. GVC, FLUTTER are going to be global lead horses. Even Draftkings will be a target to buy down the road.
The true benefit of this merger will be seen in 2022. This monster will be in huge growth mode by that time, as many US states are seeking to get in on the game, and eventually New York and California will fall, if not a federal initiative. Seems like Trump is wanting to give legitimacy to online games and he can point to this current issue as a reason to give states more revenues.
Personally, I am still holding until 2022 which has been my target exit. Will it reach the $100 equivalent I hoped to sell at, maybe with some real luck. Even not, I expect we are just at the start of a new story.
