Because of Wall St. Does anyone fear a run on the sportsbooks?

When the times get tough (like now), I wonder if the amount of fixed games goes up? I mean, think about it. I wonder if anyone can go back to the 1930's and see if there is any connection. I mean, it makes sence, more people are desperate, especially college kids and parents.

Blame goes largely to the Federal Reserve for keeping the lending rate below the rate of inflation, thereby encouraging malinvestment.

Tho ... Bush is still an asshole.

People will liquidate SB accounts, for sure. I've already done exactly that.

It's not a run on sportsbooks I'm worried about. It's their overall liquidity. Surely they don't just keep their cash in a cookie jar - they have it invested. And a good portion of their nut is likely to be gone.

Well, I play at Pinny, so I feel my cash is secure there. I'd be shitting bricks though if my cash was in Bodog, or Sportsbook.com right now though.

Lots and lots of blame to go around. No one villain.
