Is his last name pronounced "AIR"? As in : We all need AIR to breathe.

Or does it have a meaning similiar to this: Harvard grads may be smart but they also can put on "AIRS"?

Just curious.

WOW....

I still maintain that our industry had never seen a marketing genius of his kind and he deserves a lot of credit for where he has taken Bodog over the past few years...

When I was at the conference in CR last week, many sports books were quite envious of Calvin....

My 2 cents...

I totally agree and have been saying that for quite some time. In addition to that, I honestly don't think Bodog as even reached it's peak.

From my perspective (web business owner and from a search engine traffic standpoint), the pinnacle off thier success is about 2 years yet to come.

When you look at what they have done, with their other sites and the diversity of the content and the search engine optimization and marketing...they've not only done it right, but they've done it well, and more than just for their one site.

Somebody definately knew what they were doing. And now, with the tv show...sky is the limit.

Shortbus...I think everyone fails to realize just how amazing their SEO is.

All of the flashy marketing stuff is what everyone talks about, but their SEO work is beyond impressive. He is a genius when it comes to the marketing side.

That being said, as long as the squares are lining up to give him money, can't blame him for taking it.
