Geee...I think its rather obvious. Open market means just what it says. How did you read dilution and options into that? I would imagine that a guy who's been running an Internet casino for the last three years (bringing in $120 mil in revenues), has spent $100,000 on a Softec system, and has the farthest vision of where the industry is going would probably buy........ohhhhhh....mmmmmm...my guess would be .......ahhhhhhhhh....at least 200 - 300 shares in Starnet.

Just a WAG, but maybe it was the 200,000 block we saw earlier. FYI, I just got my Starnet investor's package today and there is a summary of financials (dated August 98), etc that has a few interesting points: 1. It says that World gaming has been averaging net revenues (wagers-payouts) of $3000/day and has had several $5000 days. This equates to about $270k per quarter. I know we have all been guessing how much they are currently making and now we know. 2. Starnet receives 17% of all bets on live racing. 3. Of the $100,000 gaming license, Starnet gets $50,000 upfront and the other $50k goes into escrow. After the customer is setup and ready to go (about 2 months), Starnet gets the other $50k. 4. Sizzle & Chisel have about 15,000 subscribers, which generates about $3,200,000 per year in revenue ($800k per quarter). 5. 12 licensees on board now and they are estimating 2 new licensees per month for a total of 20 at the end of the calendar year. 6. licensees rev(monthly) % to Starnet 0-100k 40% 100k-250k 35% 250k-500k 30% 500k-1000k 25% 1000k-5000k 20% 5000k-10000k 15% 10000k-oo (infinity) 10% Seems like Starnet has a pretty sweet deal.
