Bump for Patrick....
Are the futurebet books each independant of each other, or is their one parent owner?
Seems to me that people ought to be damn nervous if they have $$$ in these books right now.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I think there is about 150 books under the FutureBet umbrella. They pay a fee to be granted a license to operate under this flag. If the owners of FutureBet are having problems it would mean trouble for the entire lot, if the individual books are having trouble not sure that would affect the others. However when the best FutureBet books go down it is hard to feel very confident these days.
Pino for instance has ruined his name for $939, the bankroll has got to be tight. I know he has 4 licenses from FutureBet so can't say I would recommend them these days. I don't even know exactly which 4 he has, any of them he owns may or may not pay you. It all goes back to the risk/reward thing. Pino is clueless but he will also stiff you if he feels like it. Stick with the solid books and gamble on the games not the books you are playing with.
