Default How large of a bankroll do you need...

to be a steady offshore book in the same catagorey with the A's. (Greek, BetJam, 5Dimes, etc)

That's a really good question. My first thought was a half million, but the more you contemplate the situation, I think the answer depends on the kind of customers you cater to. A half million would probably put you with the same resources as 5Dimes, but like Uncle Richie said, a million or two would be needed to break into the realm of the Greek and WSEX. I hope that someone with more understanding of these business models can refine my answer.

Honestly, it has to be more in the 10M+ range doesn't it?

It's a LOT more than a couple million. There are plenty of professionals playing at the greek with bankrolls that big alone. The book needs a lot more.
