    By folding if you mean go the Pinnacle root of closing but paying, I would guess 30% this year. Before Pin announcement would have put it at 10%.

    Folding: I don't think they will fold anytime soon.

    Leaving the US market: My guess would be 50% chance right now after pinny's exit. (gotta coin to flip)

    Every sportsbook located in Costa Rica will have no choice but to STOP serving US customers. Only difference is some books will choose to do it sooner than others. All will have to go that route.

    lots of these books say they are closing but there is a secret society where the books take the top 10% of volume/bettors/losers and let them continue and have a way to circumvent everything

    good way to weed out the low lifes who jam the phone lines with $15 bets like Holy Bull

    i still play at betOnSports (even though url is down i use a mirror backdoor site)and was actually a top 3%er

    NOT. Stealing is the correct term.

    Leaving the US Market...

    Id say 50%. Right now, it seems its a 50/50 chance for everyone. This is just a guess, so dont hold me or SBR to it.

    Not a chance of this happening any time soon. Ron Sacco is an old school bookmaker who is not going to have anyone tell him what he can or can not do. CRIS was the first offshore book in the world of any size and I see them being in business for many years to come.
