Has any poster ever started an offshore book?

[JBC77]

With any success or longevity in the history of forum land? Wasn't SSLP supposed to start something up? Whatever happened to that?

[bigboydan]

I think SSLP is content being an agent at this time because he probably realized that it would be a bad idea to start a new book considering the state of the industry.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of capital would it take to launch an adventure like that? Travel, room & board, core employees, technology, advertising on SBR and bankroll. 125K and you might keep the lights on for 6 months if your lucky?

What do you guys think about costs?

[bigboydan]

I heard rumors that some books have started up offshore books with as little as 3 dimes.

Your going to need a minimum of 200 every day credit players to pay your expenses and get you started. In this environment its virtually impossible to find new post up customers, with all the processing problems. Being a bookie isnt as glamourous life as its made out to be, get ready for 60-80 hour work weeks. 125 K doesnt even get you started with expenses. The most economic and efficient way is to start building a credit business, and use one of the per head shops to service your customers. That will free you up to hunt for customers and operate your business from your home state or country. Good Luck with whatever you do!
