    Size, Volume, Profit of Offshore Big Dogs?

    So me and a few buddies were talking about the big offshore books...and started debating how big they are, the type of profits they realize, etc...

    Obviously, most any answers will be conjecture...but I was wondering what others thought?

    And I'm sticking mainly to the top rated books...(5D, Heritage, Pinnacle, Bookmaker)

    Any thoughts?

    Pinnacle would handle in the billions annually I think.

    The others some fraction of that.

    I saw that Bodog did $8 billion in wagers last year and that was outside the US. The others were bigger.

    BWin just sold for $1 billion.

    I don't know what it is but it is big. Much bigger than I ever imagined.

    IBCbet supposedly had $50 billion turnover a few years back. SBO would be even bigger I guess. Pinnacle, no idea.

    Edit: guesstimate here from 2012 says "the two biggest" (ie ibc+sbo) turn over $2bn/week, ie $104bn a year together

    Edit2: different reporting of same estimate says they're at $2bn _each_

    It's in German, but the key bit is that they have an interview with the big cheese from IBCbet, and he says they turned over $45 billion in 2010, with a net profit of $300m (0.67%).
