    Well I am not sure it was all grace. They still needed to keep volumes up to close the deal. Realistically most of us do not fit into the new plan. You've got to make it pay.

    Acquisitions are rarely smooth. Implementations are hit or miss. Sometimes sales guys want to do something and compliance kills the deal. These are all the realities of business. Deal with it.

    I've been in this business 37 years on both sides of the counter............CIRCA one of the best shops alltime encountered , but to be fair, its still early in their existence.

    I don't even know what anybody would wait on, or be "patient" about on here? The site is nothing now.

    The US sportsbooks don't want people sending (donating) money and gambling on here,

    they want them sending money and gambling on their web sites! And they are spending

    MILLIONS of dollars to advertise their sites. I don't see how this place will be worth a nickel.

    Don't need some "go between" anymore to handle all the cheating that the offshore books

    tried to do to people, because the US books will be regulated by their own states, and they wont

    cheat people anyway. If somebody paid more than $5 for this site and they think it will somehow make $$ trying

    to base it off US sportsbooks instead of offshore books, then they need to sell it now for $3 and take the loss.

    My eye site is great, well ok, I use reading glasses. You happy?

    My uhhhh is seeing those companies rated B to C-. Circa is the best sportsbook in the world imo. If they would just turn that fugging rap crap music down in the pool area they would be perfect.

    It looks like Optional has officially been designated for one of the other sites. The plot continues to twist.

    Yes this is getting more bizarre. But we should all wait for the exciting news! Reminds me of the play Waiting for Godot.

    Like I said earlier, this really just looks like a downsize. SBR is definitely still involved so this is a bit of a stiff. But I can't blame them too much. No hard feelings as far as I am concerned. I'm not sure there was even a sale at this point. But pretty sure somebody bought more than half.

    Confirmation is not speculation. Optional may do some drive bys for appearance sake but he is most likely done on this site. What he does is going to be done elsewhere.

    I am going to say Shari. This site is the biggest mystery. This is where the big changes are happening and the new management is most involved.
