Lets continue to clear up the misconceptions,half truths, and misinformation being spread in this very important thread. No book has to include sbr in a bailout package, this is true, but they are the glue that would hold any deal together since they have such lucrative affiliate packages and advertising deals with a bailout partner. They also have the motivation to broker a deal since they had a major part in causing the bi situation in the first place, and from a short and long term business perspective and if they ever want to regain a semblance of player trust they want a bailout deal done. Sbr holds all the cards and much of the leverage since they could easily offer to ease the debt one of their advertising books takes on in a bailout by reducing their end of the affiliate package and advertising revenue. It is kind of hard to carry on the myth that you are the biggest offshore watchdog when you played a major role in the theft of 1.5 million of players money. Sbr could easily broker a deal with their current advertising books so that the participating bailout books would take on very little debt if they are given a break on advertising and affiliate commission. Lets continue to stay on point in the thread and work together to foster a bailout deal.
