LookingLong,
I agree, market could still be huge. It was the report out of London, that I mentioned, that got me looking into this industry. It claimed the market in Europe alone would go from $15 billion in 2004 to $159 billion in 2008. I figure if the growth left in Europe is that big - what about Asia, etc. "FUN" and "UBTA" are the only two pure plays in the betting exchange business that I could find so far, so I picked up a little of each. Sorta made myself a mini betting exchange mutual fund. I'm trying to pick up some more UBTA below a dime, but the dam market makers wont show my bid. Keep us posted if you find any other publicly traded exchanges.

lookinglong,

This business is in its infancy
and there is room for new players
like UBTA to come along, find a niche
and grow from there. I was waiting for UBTA to
to get a bit cheaper, so here it is
and am now telling all my friends that I like this stock at the current level.
As soon as I triple my money, I'll sell
half and keep the rest for a possible 10 plus banger.
I want to buy some FUN on Toronto under $5.00
Take a look at that one also.
