The crazy conspiracist in me says with this news and Heritage opening up to everyone that the US books make one last cash grab before they shut down. But, I'm sure everything will be fine like after every scare.

I hear ya. It gets complicated. The same group sued a competitor and they basically never showed. But we respond to all matters because it seems like the responsible thing to do. Now I'm less sure. We learned a lot about how to avoid suits in the future so it hasn't been a complete loss. Plus, we plan to sue them to recover our 6 figures in legal fees once we have our day in court.
Good luck in that but if the party in question has to sue over posted picks in a forum, then they might not have the 6 figures you seek and its good money after bad in the pursuit.

FACT: if the DOJ goes in and shuts down a website like 5 DIMES to cutoff US players our player funds will still be safe.
DOJ shut me down when i had an account on POKERSTARS and the DOJ allowed pokerstars to make one final payment to US players and then be done with it
so worst case senario is you have a balance in a sportsbook, the DOJ shuts it down, you will no longer be able to bet but you will def be able to get your funds...
might take a while but your funds will not be lost DOJ is at least partially considerate in that area.
where's my funds from 2006 when the doj shut down betonsports!

Been going to Reno Nevada to place wagers lately......A 2 hour drive can be a pain sometimes, but at least I know I'll get paid right then and there.

Yeah you're an idiot iwantitall. Sorry to say. Very few people if any throw life changing money at something ( an offshore book for example) because billybob joe said it was a good thing to throw money into. They may blindly throw a 100 or 200 but it would have to be money they could afford to lose
