Zynga Plus Poker - Page 3 - Poker News Headlines - Poker News for the Mature Reader

Question for those who follow Zynga/bwin/PartyPoker and the possible direction the companies are taking toward online poker in the states:

Am I wrong to think that these entities are necessarily looking to bond to a brick-and-mortar casino? More importantly, since the answer to the previous question is likely obvious, is the possibility of such a joint venture (Z/b/PP & B&M) a likelihood?

The reason I ask is because I'm looking at Zynga (znga) stock options. For example, the $5 Jan 14 calls are trading at .30 x .31. The safer $5 Jan 15 calls are at .80. Moreover, the open interest on the call side dwarfs the open interest on the put side when looking at month-by-month, especially toward the end of the year. Granted, much of the volume may be a hedge. There is always that risk.

What makes the play even more attractive is that the stock is trading about 50% below its year highs and about 80% below its 18-month highs. I understand the catalyst for the stock depreciation was likely the Facebook break-up, but Zynga looks primed for a solid move going forward. The chart looks very attractive right now: volume has been on the ask side and the stock has mostly been trading above all major moving averages over the last couple months.

Many thanks for any insight and opinions.

BFI is probably a much better place then NVG for this post.

Just an update on this one for everyone - Zynga have withdrawn their support for real money gambling and done a big U-Turn, meaning a 25% drop in their share price (ouch!!!!)

So this phase has come and gone for Zynga...!

Yes just another skin. I wonder how many players are on each separate skin atm.

i played zynga poker on the iphone and got to about $10mill. it seemed slightly rigged though because every 3 hands you would get like a flush or straight or something. I don't understand why people would buy fake chips when they could just play for real money though.

There are real money games on ZyngaPlus.

Yeah baffles me to, if you need to buy playchips it might be better to quit the game imo.

[QUOTE=MSCHUMACHER;38679477]The bit about buying drinks reminds me of the old Paradise poker where you'd order drinks and have a beer beside you at the table. Think that was the first site I played on. It wasnt half bad software wise. Better than ipoker and 888 in my opinion. Remember pokerroom?

Paradise poker was hands down the best site ever.
