LegalPlay Entertainment Inc. (OTCBB: LPLE) announced today that it has reviewed the results of the data collected during the continuing beta testing of the DailyHorse.com horse racing prediction / analysis software and is pleased to announce the results were positive.
The proprietary algorithm in its existing form was evaluated for its predictive performance based on a sampling of races from race tracks across North America occurring this calendar year. We assessed performance in a variety of manners and found that the DailyHorse system was very selective for predicting both winning and showing horses. Moreover, no significant statistical bias was found in the algorithm to pick “favorite” horses which typically pay out at much lower odds than non “favorite” horses.
The algorithm in its existing form was found to predict at least one winning, placing or showing horse 90% of the time with respect to the top three horses as selected by the DailyHorse.com system.
The Company also announced that management has decided not to proceed with the acquisition of GamblingVision Group Inc. after a lengthy period of due diligence. It was determined that the technology underlying the license held by GamblingVision Group Inc. may not directly fit the core business of LegalPlay Entertainment Inc. and therefore management felt the dilution of the Company’s common stock as a result of concluding the transaction would not be in the best interest of shareholders.
The Company is continuing in its efforts to secure additional financing by way of debt, equity or a combination thereof.
