    Isn't $10,000 quarterly fee a rip off if it's $2,500 per month?

    Have a feeling there will be more than the "quarterly fees" to operate. Ever see the "Runner Runner" movie?

    Interesting topic. You did not mention advertising/promotions? How are you going to get the customers?

    $50K turnkey Curacao licensed setup with everything.

    Another 100k on some English football team shirt sponsor.

    And spend your other 17k on some CS help and social media marketers.

    What's the office for?

    Do you know how much Tony had to win before it was better for the owner to give him 5Dimes instead of pay out?

    What about marketing costs? You can pay the 167k but it's worthless when nobody even knows you exist, and even if we did you'd have to offer something good that other A+ books don't.

    $100,000 for employees? So do they have just 2 employees per book? No wonder customer service sucks.
