This would be too easy...but I wont
Still great job Loshack

thebettor · 06-29-11, 05:03 PM

He was in the right place at the right time.

Good job booking Calvin! Great success story. Yes on the right place, right time..but he has been in costa rica for 15 years+. Duruing that time there have been countless guys who were in the right spot and at the right time and washed out. Calvin's place in the history of this industry as a marketing innovator extraordinaire is second to none. Overlooked is the fact he did a masterful job with the executive management of Bodog.

I 100% agree. I still trust US facing bodog, and they continue to pay me out regularly for winning big last year.

Great story, kudos to Calvin. Well done.

Nice interview Peter, I am looking forward to part two.

nosniboR11 · 06-29-11, 06:08 PM

Loshak always professional

erickvivar · 06-29-11, 06:09 PM

Wanted or not, Bodog is as solid as it can get on the industry.

gregm · 06-29-11, 06:10 PM

Very interesting story. Great job Loshak. I actually enjoy Ayres web site , he has done a great job on it.

I always wondered why Calvin Ayre doesnt get into real estate in Costa rica or Asia or wherever they are involved in now and open some brick and mortar type joints, casinos, nightclubs,hotels etc. A vegas style strip in costa rica would be fantastic.

I would much rather be redeeming my points at dsi/bookmaker, sbr , poker points at Bodog, etc at a cool casino or something in costa rica than on some merchandise or free play. Live wagering is still the greatest.

Great job sbr tv, interesting interview.

I AGREE!

On the off chance you may want to throw somthing other than a slow softball during the more 'investigative' segment of this ineterview, you can expect an exponential increase to the ratings with topics like dual lines. CS horrific outsourcing, that situation with the NY bettor getting f**ked, Calvin's Roman Polanski jackpot if he were ever get spotted in the USA, etc.
You're becoming more and more comfortable, keep doing these.

What a f....

Great job by Loshack. SBR has top-notch production. Now if I can just get it out of my head that it's NOT Quentin Tarantino giving the interview I'll be able to concentrate on what is being said.

erickvivar · 07-01-11, 01:11 AM

LOL you are so right Quantum, jaja he does looks like Tarantino.
