#493The shocking part for me is how fast this was done....no warning, no rumors, etc. Something tells me someone gave them an ultimatum to shutdown or face the Big Bad Law. For someone that was so highly rated to shut its doors this quickly smellsComment -

Seems simple enough to me that like Pinnacle and Matchbook, Greek decided that it was all just too hard to keep fighting Uncle Sam and that they would ditch US players and try to make up for it by increasing their Euro and Asian exposure. They don't need to be hampered in those efforts by having to drag along BJ as a secondary book.Comment -

#498Greek Pinnacle and Matchbook will still get 90% of the guys betting $2500+/game. They know that and are prob sick of processing transactions with 25% feesComment -

#500I don't know why you have to be thinking that way.

I think the owners had made enough money and decided now was the time to get out. I imagine they will still take in a lot of US action from their agents in the Philadelphia area. Every bookmaker worth anything in the area dumps off at the Greek and everyone knows it.Comment -

#501I honestly don't give a damn which Grade A book pulls out on the US next. Whoever does... I'm sure they will handle the situation admirably. Keep switching GRADE A books until they are all done servicing the US. It's the only thing we can do. There's no need to worry. Plenty of other GRADE A books left. Everyone... RELAX.Comment -

#504True, but more competition for Pinnacle, Matchbook and the established Euro and Asian books on US sports would be welcomed.Comment -

#507I dont think this is so out of the blue as we all think... It had to have taken them a lot of time to set up going with Heritage and how they were going to be doing the transfers of account and mpney from one to the other...
I wonder if you didnt have any money in your account if you got a invite to heritage.Comment -

#519First, this really is a sad day when a book like the Greek is shutting out US players, not to mention merging BJ under its umbrella.
Secondly, if you didn't see this coming, what have you been doing for the last 6 months. The writing was all over the wall on this. The Feds will chase down Heritage and the other holdouts soon enough, but be assured they will do it.....the party is over folks, and our only hope is that the budget deficits create an opportunity for somebody to setup legal shops that can be taxed. If they get their cut, they may look the other way. That's the only shot you have.Comment -
