    Default How are sportsbooks doing?

    Anybody know how sportsbook the sportsbooks that Americans can still use are actually doing? We heard some early numbers but I feel like confidence has gone up. I am sure they have lost some action, but have they actually lost enough for us to get worried?

    Jamaica tells me they are busier than they have ever been.

    The pull out of neteller harms the fly by night books who people would throw a little dough at for bonuses.

    90+% of bettors use one book and without neteller will gravitate towards the biggest.

    It is no big deal to use the funding options out there now if you bet at one place.

    How is that? When the Pinnacles and the Mansions and the WWTS of the world are moving out of the business people are forced to move from the best of the quality books. A large proportion of those people will turn to the crap books through either ignorance or greed. Quality books leaving the industry is the best thing that can happen to the crappy books. And I'm not sure where the consolidation is going to come from - for every buyer there has to be a seller and I don't think that many outfits are wanting to sell their business when valuations are at historical lows. And for every seller there has to be a buyer - who is cash rich enough and risk-seeking enough to mop up the rest of the industry?
