Not them, but rather the country they are located is what people should be looking into.

SR - Can you explain that more? You think Panama is more dangerous than Costa Rica for example? If so why?

Thanks.

Yes I do. back in the mid 90.s BOOKS started to operate from PANAMA, all was well, until the GOV got greedy, and ran em out. I dont see this time around being any different. JMHO.....

Okay man, fair enough. I remember talk of that though I wasn't around here then. Thanks for the explanation.

My thought though is one of the differences now is the government is almost a "partner" with the book. They have no interest in seeing a book do poorly, in fact there is interest in seeing just the opposite - the book prosper and do well for itself. Many other books will be watching, a good relationship would be the best advertisement in the world for Panama. Like you this is just my opinion, I don't claim to be an expert on the matter.

Not to interupt the geography debate, but Panam has 14 cent MLB props. I've only see 30 cents everywhere else, aside from 28 centers at Sirbet.

Lots of value

FYI Bowmans has all their props at 20 cents and Las Palmas has some 20 cent ones.

Thanks Neilm,
It may be time to reactivate my Bowmans account

Bowmans- A good book that has only become better over the past year. Kudos to Bowmans!

Without question to become a najor player in the business. One can understand the concern of newness, but in the case of panam, It is just not new. The talent is there from the go unlike many new shops.
