Club Fatters,
The information I was concerned about was really a non-event..I'm rather picky, when I might be getting other people involved. Only the best from me! :-)
Here is the DD that has been supplied by Club Fatt! Research Team Member, Jorjenzak.
All filings for BETT and ECNC can be found at - edgar-online.com
Here are some excerpts and links on DD on ECNC....formerly known as BETT:
Link to the DD Warehouse on ECNC....200+ DD posts, opinions, PR's, etc. for a quick intro to the company's past up to present - techstocks.com
Link to the current active ECNC SI Thread - Subject 29086 The regulars on the thread are ocmayor, scoobey-do, Lord Ernie, Fli-by, Ron P. Margrapf, Manny the Ranger, Mark Richter, Stevek, DaiTN, scouser, longtom, myself and a host of others I can't remember off the top of my head. Sorry if I left anyone out. Also a GALAXY of lurkers who post occasionally and those who never post but often e-mail me about the thread....usually to brag on us!
Link to the original BETT (now ECNC) SI Thread...where we all got started! Subject 20009
In my own words: ECNC is a same as cash transaction facilitation company, with its focus on everyday consumer transactions and an eye on also making money on wagering. It was originally called Bettting, Inc. (BETT) and was a Missouri corp. that was originally known as Legoons which was a clothing company. Tom Hughes is the CEO, man with the vision and driving force behind it all. What a guy! What a worker! He now has a team of professionals helping diversify and grow the company and it is set to TAKE OFF! I see this mode of transaction faciltation as having the same impact on our society as credit cards and more recently ATM's and debit cards. It WILL be the way we do business in the future.
**Dated 5/2/99 (Author is Sir Lancelot....known as Stevek on SI)
BETT is a company beginning to really come of age and define itself.Outstanding shares are around 11Mil. Trading float is around 5.5Mil. Those numbers are from the company as recent as last week.They are a fully reporting company with all their SEC papers filed on time. Something most BB's rarely do.
BETT is positioning itself to become a big player in the global on-line gaming industry. They already have revenues from their on-line casino(777WINS subsidiary)with those revenues projected to triple by the next QTR. They have also just opened their new esportsbook-for on-line betting of all major sports(another revenue maker),and their BIG project-the PERFECT wagering system.
BETT is positioning itself to generate revenues from it's own gaming company(and others as well)holdings by routing the PERFECT gaming wagers to their competitors for a small(2-6%)service fee. These service fees will start adding up quickly as the transactions continue. This is called TSP(transaction service processing). On-line gaming analysts estimate that these transactions alone by 2002 will add up to 200 billion.
BETT is designing their TSP business to capture 40% of that exploding market. That my friend,is a lot of money. Every transaction throughout the world that uses BETT's PERFECT wagering system of cash/credit will increase BETT's revenues and profits. The numbers could be staggering from the TSP revenues,not to mention the casino,and on-line sportsbook revenues.
In their last press release,BETT estimated their earnings per share for next year to be between 10-20 cents-and that is conservative at this point in time. I believe the management is very sharp and aggressive. They are shareholder friendly-they keep us updated regularly. And they are very receptive to questions.
There will be a shareholders meeting soon in Las Vegas. (May 5, 1999 Alexis Park from 9am to 1pm) They needed to reschedule the last one(in early April),and they offered to reimburse any shareholders for the difference in plane fare reservations made earlier. How many companies do that? Not many my friend.
Read their press releases(on Yahoo or Business Wire),check their trading charts,and do your research. I don't think you'll be disapointed. If you are,then don't buy. Look at how BETT is valued compared to GGNC or SNMM. I hear there will be big news in a few weeks as well. If it's what I believe it is,the stock price should respond even more than of late. I believe we could see $3-5 by the Fall(maybe earlier),and next year BETT should really go places(I believe 10-20 is possible next year). Many investors I know are and have been taking positions in the stock for the long term. I guess they agree with me.
If you subscribe to Silicon Investor message boards,then you should really check out the BETT board there-some very sharp investors that know the company and are in touch with the CEO on occasion. The Raging Bull message board is good too. <eom>
**Most recent news post (8/1) from Tom Hughes (CEO of ECNC) by way of the one and only Scoobey!
Update:
We will be releasing a comprehensive press release on Monday. Check out emergingcompany.com. I will be interviewed in mid August and will show a live demonstration of Same-as-Cash TM payment across the Internet by ATM card and PIN. Our Same-as-Cash service will then be marketed to the Internet merchants as a method to receive either Internet ATM card with PIN payments or far more secure Credit card payments as they will now be card read by a card reader before being sent as payment.
Emerging Companies reaches over 200 cable stations and has been in business for over 3 years. You can watch live television programs on the web site which means that Lord Ernie and his people in Belgium will be able to see eConnect and our business progress.
The catalog products from a well known catalog whose name still has to be kept quiet as we work out the press release, is now being loaded into our Host which will then download the inventory into our EzyShopper units. The EzyShopper will then be deployed for no cost to high traffic locations where people are waiting. As stated previously, we are focused on the SouthBay of LA for the rest of 1999.
Jim Wexler is confident that the eSportsbet.com web site will be ready by no later than August 14 and as early as August 9. This will substantially increase our business as we will now have both staff answered over the phone business plus Internet business.
777WINS will be releasing a new marketing campaign in August and will aggressively be targeting banner ads on high traffic sites.

That was the research provided by Jorjenzak. Here was the post I made regarding what could really happen here...
***https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=10771993
Something that has been bugging me ever since Lynn Goodman mentioned it, along with Gary Hill, is finding that one leader in an industry that is up and coming. The one that has the balls to try something.
I think ECNC is one of these type. I was sitting there thinking, how can ECNC be a leader. I was stuck on this stuff about the sportsbetting, which is really great, but I know it isn't the core. Basically, I don't care about it or 777wins.com beyond being cash cows. I think they should sell eventually. They will not do any good but provide an experiment ground and provide cash. AFter they get this transation (PERFECT) off the ground, they will be of no use.
Anyways, back to the leader stuff. Do you recall us being in GOCA? I remember reading an article about the gov't or industry c racking down on CHARGE CARDS being maxed out and causing people problems. Sure, VISA makes money here (well, if they pay), but not always. What if they go bankrupt from it!! But ECNC might be the key to the gov't cracking down on this crap. (I hate gambling personally--the slots and cards) What it looks like is ECNC gets a fee from this PERFECT technology when used. VISA gets 3% of every sale I beleive by using their cards. This might be what ECNC gets. But ECNC doesn't use credit. It all links back to an ATM account. It's like a cash account in the stock market. you can't spend more than you have. If the gaming industry gets bad enough, this could be the key to keep it alive. Use only what you got. It would make the die-hard happy too, because they would be limited!
Now, I know gambling isn't their only industry, but they apparently share the same vision I do becasue they have acquired the 777wins.com casino. I bet they use this as a cash cow and a testing ground. Very smart. (I'm calling them smart, but I don't know for sure! LOL)
This is what gives them the edge and makes them a leader. They have a new technology that I have never seen before and could DRAMATICALLY help out an industry. I don't know how the structure works, whether it be % of sales or an upfront licenssing fee or what...But either way, they can make it big with it all.
Filings look good. I was just confused on all of the name changing and the jurisdiction changing and all that BS. It's all good now and going out to the Club.

I obviously think the stock has a lot of potential. The company is taking its time to do everything right and getting all of the ducks lined up. I like that in a company!
There is suppost to be a site launched this week. I doubt people will really sell into this. If so, it will only allow us to pick up shares cheaper! Might be smart to wait and see what happens at the bell. I'm probably putting in a limit in the mid .30's up to .40's.
The stock could go wild. It's only a matter of time. I think this is one of those rare stocks that just might be able to be considered an investment and not a trade. I could be proven wrong on this. Either way, I see potential to make money here.
There was only one concern I had about the sportsbetting side, but it appears to be a non-event and I am trust my team of researchers on this one....
I think this is a great stock and will be investing with you all tommorow...I hope we all make it big time in this one!
Best Regards and Good Luck in whatever you decide!

This report will be posted by Wed night to the site...
Please excuse the spelling. I stayed up late tonight to finish this, because I wanted to make sure everybody understood what I was talking about (I came accross badly earlier..I sounded like I was trying to get in before all of you..Sorry if I came accross that way!) Spelling will be fixed in the report..I promise!
