    Some of us should get together, move to Costa Rica, and start up the best sportsbook on the planet. Why let Calvin have all the fun?

    The 'boys' used to say "if you're doing it, do it in the dark"

    I can think of a few who wish they had.

    He started Bodog in 1994 with ten grand. According to the program.

    How do you start a book with that kind of money?

    It was a hit or miss proposition... He hit a home run

    Remember his biz model was highly suspect in the beginning. 20% bonus on all re-ups but he hardly ever hung a bad # because of the tardiness of his openers and factor in his low limits.

    Now with his poker room Bodog is better than a gold mine. If I were Calvin, I would sell 100% out of the biz and invest the motherload of cash.
