I'm thinking that it was a pretty good year for sportsbooks because of the very unpredictable NCAA&NFL season minus the people making money getting on the Patriots band wagon right away.

So,with no settlement in sight as far as making it legal for US residents to bet,it seems logical for some fringe books to cut and run with all their playoff and Super Bowl bet money.I would really,really be careful this year as to making a bet with a rinky dink sportsbook on the Super Bowl.With the bleak economic news coming out day in and day out,it seems like a good time to take the money and run for sportsbooks.Hell,Chrysler might even be out of business soon where anyone that bought a Chrysler piece of shit product might be left holding the bag on warranties and such.

I used to love Bo Dog but I have a weird hunch that they might be one of the former giants to split the scene.I haven't been seeing Calvin Ayers bolstering,bragging and shooting his mouth off recently.I'll bet he is busy getting a fortress in place in some banana republic.


P.S.an afterthought about american vehicles.Me and my dad and everyone else in the family were always loyal about buying american vehicles. He has a new Chrysler Town & Country and I have a Ford Taurus.We are sticklers for maintaining vehicles but it's become evident that american vehicles are so lame that it might be time for a change and buy Toyota?Just the engineering on these vehicles is awful where you have to be a circus freak to be comfortable sitting in them.In some respects you should be 6'-8'' to close the doors on the Taurus and 4'10'' to sit in the drivers seat on the Chrysler where you can release the parking break.Then the electical ''sensor''problems on the Chrysler products and the heater-air conditioner problems on the Ford keep the dealers busy.Even with warranties,they still give you the run around and try to charge you with add on work.The heater-AC blower on my Ford went out 4 times already and the dealer said a plate was needed where rain affects it.Da,,,do you think Ford should have thought of that and at least reimbursed me the $100 it cost to be installed.The blower would always go out in heat waves and blizzards and it was a real bitch driving to get home from long trips.Then the dealer is an hour away so the gas mileage etc.and taking time off was a bummer to drive to get it fixed repeatedly.

Brent I couldn't agree more on all points. This thread ought to be stickied as far as I'm concerned. I too think we'll see Bodog run off with everyone's money one day, but hopefully it's still a wee bit away with them for the small time suckers' sake.

I would caution all players playing at C rated books or below to re-read Brent's post and think carefully about where you entrust your money right now....

I think that sportsbook.com could run off with people's money after the Super Bowl this year. Better watch out for them at all costs. I would be a little worried about BetUs also, they aren't quite as bad as sportsbook has been.

How many offshore books, on average, fail on an annual basis?
