Are we nearing the point financially where owers will cut and run?

[BrentCrude]

Anybody getting some real queezie feelings that even with better rated sportsbooks they better sacrifice a few extra bucks to get a super fast payout rather than accept their general free delivery that takes awhile to receive?I see no incentive for them to stay open other than the NCAA basketball tournament if things get really bad between now and the Super Bowl.All it will take to shake the foundation will be a day where the dow is halted a few times due to 1000 point plus plunges where circuit breakers kick in.I think that would blow everyone's minds!


I think people with a full load of credit cards in their wallet with no debt at all on them would pull the trigger on everyone of them too to max them out if they aren't planted down with obligations.Get as much cash as you can in cash advances and purchase survival stuff like food,guns and then lots of stuff you can sell.Diamonds are fine for rich people like Madoff to launder but you won't get too many great diamond deals at Wal Mart that you can barter-launder for cash to break even.hehe!My guess would be to buy good deals on guns.They will be the poor man's version of diamonds.


I think by watching what's going on,we are in for a rude awkening.The financial Titanic is sinking and the violin players on the deck are playing somber music.

Has anyone heard talk radio financial host Bruce Williams telling and arguing with callers how bad he knows Las Vegas casinos are hurting the last couple nights?The guy is a crab to callers but he knows his stuff.

Serious question: are you employed?

[smitch124]

I do know that around here in the California valley, Thunder Valley casino was raking in the dough and they were building a hotel add on and considering an amusement park as well. A month or so back construction of the hotel was halted in the middle of the day and has yet to resume.

This is why I stopped betting. Off shore is getting less safe day by day.

I dont like this Crude character but I think this is a decent post. Yes, we are at risk, and the risk outways the reward. It is too hard to get money in, meaning we are being blocked and watched. It is too easy for them not to pay us, even the A+ books. What can SBR or any site that specializes in mediating these situation do when a big book decides tuck and run? Nothing but badmouth.

Does durito have a job? Or is he just some clown giving corbatas colombianas to his relatives?

Stick with the A books. If things start crumbling it will start at the bottom. I think things will be alright. Gambling was never at risk during the Big Depression. Vegas is not a good example, because it's a vacation town; one of the first things people cut back on during harder times. People still gamble. Just not as much in Vegas.

Why do you think they went after online gambling?

Online books can survive during hard times, because their overhead is nothing compared to Vegas.

Sharp post!

BCrude, in my opinion, I do not think things will be that extreme.. We are having some restructuring done to the global economy and after a few years things will be fine but in the meantime people's standard of living will fall... That's NOT the end of the world.. life goes on even though home prices and job wages are not what they once were...

I wonder what the fukkin electric bill is at some of those theme park places in vegas?
Only mob owned joints have the best chance of survival if there are any left.

Gambling is not going anywhere, but why go offshore? I recently got hooked up with a guy whose giving me 5k per week limit. Works for me.

Why go offshore for -110...get charged for the payout, and have to argue with some dipshit costa rican or other Latin American dumb****er that's trying to find ways not to pay you.

[onlooker]

I only use offshore now for some reduce juice, to make a play if I can't get to a book, or a bet on a money line that is not offered out here. So I keep a small balance in the offshore book.

100 more big chain stores will go bankrupt this year. Save your money for fire sales. Noone is buying clothes, electronics or goes out to eat except McDonald's.

2009 will be worst than The Great Depression.

funny part is I just got got a raise and bonus...I sign the paperwork tomorrow. LOL

but really offshore isn't easy, it isn't as safe as it once was...and its really going into a very gray/uneasy area from my point of view. Sure some books are an exception, but this year I think we will see a major book or group fail or be bought up.
