These Newly Private $1 Books

[TLD]

Just out of curiosity, what is SBR’s degree of confidence in:

1. The safety of playing at the recently privatized VIP books that still take US customers, compared to what the safety at the VIP books was before this law and before the restructuring, say a few months ago?

2. The safety of playing at the recently privatized Sportingbet books that still take US customers, compared to what the safety at the Sportingbet books was before this law and before the restructuring, say a few months ago?

Those $1 sales are just a way for those books to still take U.S. players action IMO. ... Those books did that to make there shareholders happy, and to get around the new laws, but we all know those profits will be accounted for on there books in some type of fashion.

Now moving on to your "safety" question.

I personally would not play at any of those corperation type books til we know exactly how this new law plays out. I mean why take a chance when you have so many other great books like Pinnacle, Cris, WSEX, and theGreek. Those guys aren't gonna cave to the new BS USA laws at all, because it will be and is bussiness as usual at the books i mentioned above.

I wouldn't play at any of them either until further notice...

I wouldn't play at any of them either until further notice...

I agree with the above and I guess alot of people will too.
This will reduce turnover/profitability of these books and make them more vulnerable.
