Camelot investors: Suckers?

You would have to look for someone who is not in the business rather than an existing sportsbook because I would say 99% of 400 play at other houses.

 

Say if NASA international come to Mark and says we will take over your accounts.
1) NASA uses a 20 cent line rather than 10 cent line at Camelot
2) As a result of that only between 50-100 stay on with NASA
3) NASA got ripped off just getting 50-100 players and if they leave for baseball chances are they will not be around for football.

I disagree with your post

 

What is up with chatroom.

 

Thanks for the response very imformative

 

Till I read your post, I didn't realize it is broken.....Let me see if I can fix it.....the girl gave me some sort of code to type in to fix it when it happens but I have had like 6 beers now and don't know if I can fix it.......give me 10 min and we will see if I can, LOL

 

Poor example. What are you basing your hypothesis on? And why use someone as an example that you know won't work unless it's just to support your arguement that you think they should close up. We know what you think so give it a rest. Something tells me that your opinion ( and Sting's ) had absolutely no bearing on Mark's decision. None. And won't have a bearing in the future. If I had to guess he could care less what your opinion of what he should do is. You don't play there and I don't think you ever have so why should he give a sh*t about it? On the other hand, I, personally find your replies to him utterly fascinating and can hardly wait for the next one. But I'm dying for you to find another subject to expound on, such as the 100 people you helped out in the Ace's situation. Now, I'm sure that will make for great reading.

Sting, if you're reading any of this... what's the chances of the gov't in Curacao persuing the investors of Ace's for fraud? I know this isn't the correct thread but it just came to mind. Thanks.

 

I don't know crap about techinical issues.....forwarded the info to our techies!

 

Any sportsbook buyout runs into this problem. Only buyout that worked out ok was wwts buying post time but they had been two well run sportsbooks.

 

Case and point the guy who started this thread makes a very valid point. If you are such a big shot max you buy Camelot out. BTW Mark with all his cursing will bite him in the ass.

 

I and most of the other posters here know that. With the proliferation of offshore books it is PROBABLY hard to find people that only have one out. But you might be surprised. Our posters in the RX aren't the average bettor. With all of the sickies ( me included ) we have here having multiple outs this isn't really a good sampling of bettors to choose from.

 

What pitchman used the phrase "case and point" on the miller lite commercials, it is driving me nuts.......

 

You know what the real problem is.
1) Greed
2) Very few loyal players
3) People lose less than they did in the past
4) Football season if Mark had dipped in to post up money at any other time during the year he might have shut down and paid everyone. Sportsbooks and retailers are similar. Sportsbook make most of there money in football retailers make money during christmas. The biggest retail chapter 11's have been filed after christmas.

 

Are you Irish.

 

Yogi, they got it fixxed. I will be in after I figure out who the hell made the phrase "Case and Point" famous in the Miller Lite commercials

 

I have Red hair and so do irish setters, so hell I don't know......am I?????

 

Lmfao.The guy you are thinking of is Norm Crosby.Wouldn't you be better off with a great dane.

 

I love poodles tho......they are such cute dogs

 

Some say I am a Pit Bull......is that nice????

 

Actually,I think I called you a pit bull on a pork chop.I think its a compliment.
