    Reporting from Curacao: The two A+ sportsbooks here report..
    ..heavy withdraws from many happy players. Those "in the know" here say they doubt many of the poorly funded sportsbook operations will be able to weather the current situation.

    Also, even the top books are moving heaven and earth to make sure their payouts go out on time. Players could well see admin type delays at even the highest rated books as they work hard to move funds to make them available for withdraw.

      Good to know, thanks. Luckily, I don't play at any of the small books.

        I'm guessing a lot of the square shops wish they had some more sharp players.

          right now i bet the do. but, not over the long haul they wouldn't. because, the squares will give all there money back fairly fast.

            Thats a true point. However, even the shap books are reporting significant losses but marc is right. The small player books were really hit hard.

                Just imagine the horror stories we are going to be hearing in the next week or two about the sportsbook.com books.

                Hope Bill Dozer has a lot of coffee ready for some long nights ahead!
