I have been critical of SSI in the past, but with Sports betting in Shanghai having commenced, I have decided it was worth taking a position at the table if the results are good.
Although you take a company valuation with a grain of salt, when they start talking in the billions for a microcap, I start to sit up and pay attention.
I can't wait to see the quarterly after the World Cup later in the year, it's a great event to bring the legalised Sports Betting into the mainstream.
Not many seats at the table available, so dip your toe in the water now.
