Interesting to see the Crypto numbers today. It was the first day without the Betfair players, and their numbers had a significant drop.

Last three mondays Crypto had 2622, 2772 and 2896 players. Today the peak was 2188 players. Thats a drop of 16.5% compared with last monday.

From a competitive standpoint versus party, the best bet for stars, FT, Bodog or UB might be to buy one of the small publicly traded sites that has left the US market, in order to both hurt party more in the only market they have left and with FT/Bodog/UB grow versus stars. And paradise/Bwin should sell itself before there's nothing left to sell.

Just based off a few casual observations it looks like FTP and Stars are seeing continued slow growth. It seems like some Party traffic is filtering over.

I will post the number again at the end of the week so we can see if it's noticable visibly.

Yup, the crypto hit from losing the Betfair players can definately be seen.

Worth noting, holidays have a tendency toward lower traffic. The low numbers from yesterday may be attributable to Halloween.

This is a great thread. And thank you Scout. Your site is on my favorites list now.

I do have a comment though, not sure if anyone touched on this before. As you all can see, the number of drop-offs for Party is not close to 80% of the number of PLAYERS. If the revenue drop off is really close to 80%, this would mean that the way that the analysis is performed above is somewhat flawed.

Let me preface by saying that I check Scout's site pretty often. I always see that Party's peak numbers are more than FT. But I never see the CURRENT Party numbers higher than FT. My theory is that while the number of players in peak hours for Party may be a relatively high, that peak (or even close to the peak) is short lived. This is either because of Foreign (non U.S) players not playing for as long per session on average, or a converging of certain European and maybe Far-East time zones that creates this peak.

A way to get a good analysis is to take a weighted average based on the number of players per hour for each calendar day and divide by 24 to come up with a more meaningful number. I contend that this number would at least switch FT to second and Party to third (and maybe lower?).

Scout, is it possible to do this from your database?

Sorry if this was touched on before.

Thanks Again
