RE:RE:RE:A Snippet About Raising Cash to CompeteI agree Papi. This is his baby. Plus his ACTUAL baby is involved and he is also flirting with the concepts of legacy, vision, pride, etc. Smart men, though, are nimble and have the ability to be pragmatic. Ive been on board forever following vision to vision. This final vision is a great one, no doubt, but the sands have been shifting under our feet since even we've been circle jerking here.
First SCR was to be the first and perhaps only media sight with a sports book. Then with a penstroke FoxBet eliminated that. We negotiate an access deal for 13 states with a company that has, presumably not contrary to the agreement, nevertheless decided to compete directly with them. Then, as mentioned, players with real bank start piling in and we're meant to line our now 40 million bucks up against hundreds and hundreds of millions. If this were WWII we would be Belgium or perhaps even Luxembourg.
Before you " Papi " me, please know this. I was a bull, am a bull, and will be a bull for the foreseeable future and would declare it the second it changed. This sector is undergoing explosive growth that is only going to get bigger. A rising tide raises all ships, and SCR is definitely one of those ships. But as the tide rises big ships tend to swallow small ones, and we are a small one. Better to be swallowed then blown up out of the water.
SCR's media profile is attractive and they are surpassing barriers to entry, albeit so so so slowly. It is worth a lot more than it is trading at now. Their financing has been very prudent. The app is a proven base. I swear, sometimes it feels like a refusal to seek a listing off the the damn TSX venture is a way for Levy to keep it off the acquisition radar. A conspiracy theory, i know, but he sure seems to like his role running around to conferences giving presentations while other companies are slapping out bet slips far beyond the one state he is currently operating in.
So, in my opinion, there is a sweet spot of growth of the value of SCR for sale to one of the bigs which should be the selling point. Moving beyond that sweet spot risks deterioration of the opportunity for maximum return if it became clear to the market that they were not goign to be able to grab loyal market share. I dont know when that sweet spot comes. It might even be now.
