How will Gambling Bill affect Our Sports Forums in 6 months
Not just SBR but also others. Say when the football season ad $$ contracts are gone.

Most will be gone, EOG does not stand a chance because of all the bad books they promote. MW will just hang on but barely
SBR has tons of products so will be the new leader and books will alwys advertise here

I think it's WAY too early to say, but I think most will be fine as they are so diversified and will always draw sports enthusiasts who have visited over the years anyways.
As far as after football season I think it will be after March Madness as that is typically when the book's "dead season" starts and will occur well within the 270 day range anyways. Again, WAY too early to say at this point in the first place, but the larger and more established forums ain't going anywhere...

I think ad revenue should be the least of the websites owners problems right now. I feel it's more important to make sure they site is legal according to U.S. laws. The advertising dollars can still be taken, but the site owners will have to be very creative on how they do it in order to avoid any raids down the road.

I would say the good books will probably spend more on advertising and the crap books won't have the money or won't be in business to...

SBR will stay coz they are the good guys, everyone else...
Thinking about it this way, RX EOG and all those other fanboy forums helped several rogue books get $$$ from U.S. bettors.
Of course it makes the gov“s job easier if they can say we protect U.S. peeps from getting stiffed, so i hope all the sellouts simply piss off.
