Ari, you are giving me a headache talking me out of it. I give up. No, I have no interest in starting a post up book offshore, zero. Mainly because of the reasons you mentioned.
As far as Bodog, they target the right audience, and since gambling is still generally unaccepted, you have a lot of guys go through the who do you use method to get a bet down. Refer a friend. So now friend of square, brother of square, father of square have all heard of BoFROG. Do you think BoDog would mind if I were BoFROG? So after that drift I would have the entire square family. And by word of mouth get others. Half of these guys, if not more never even heard of a gambling forum. They just think BoFROGs high prices are normal. And our futures, what a rake. Lots of dumass props with a 30 cent line. And our casino, all our dealer's are large breasted flirtatious computer generated babes. It is a pleasure to lose to them. You market to the right clients, and they spread the word themselves. What do you think the hold is on a business model like this?
Best Wishes...OF :+waving-5
