Who do 5 Dimes and Bookmaker keep acquiring all these tiny books?

[Igetp2s]

What exactly is in it for them? They are probably acquiring the same players over and over again.

Market share is the only thing I can think of. Probably just a handful of new customers with a ton of overlapping ones. Sometimes these deals have hardware also.

did you mistake "who" for "why"? although the "o" key is pretty far from the "y" key..

"Acquiring" doesn't mean buying.

Small Timer: I'm sick of this sh*t, I'll give you my customers for a quarter of their losses for a couple of years.
Big Timer: All right, why not.

Sometimes there are bailouts involved when the big players agree to a payout schedule which can be covered by grinding out the existing players. There are done to protect the good name (such as it is) of offshore sportsbooks.

My opinion is they are just a bunch of really nice guys who like helping people.

Cash fool! What else? More clients=more profits. They are getting players from all over the world.
