If it's a no-brainer, then JJ is well qualified to make the selection.
However, passing Pinnacle, WWTS, CRIS, Grande and WSEX assumes that those books are going to sit still. As other books crash and burn, these books will likely pick up pieces, since players will flock to safe books.
1) No one can predict banking rules 1.5 years from now. Heck, Neteller could be pushed away by feds.
2) other books have no-nonsense
3) govt checking interesting, but if top books already are clean/trusted, no reason to leave them.
4) how great? better than the other top books?
5) marketing is nice. everybody claims to have the best marketing. some of the best is word of mouth (on board like rx)
6) I think the other top books have strong enough backing to handle their businesses. Twice the backing wouldn't make any difference.
7) lower vig attracts players, but also decreases profits.
8) fast payout schedule depends on neteller, and other factors.
JJ, while BETPANAM is probably a great book, none of your arguments constitutes a slam-dunk for them. Except for the govt part, these are the characteristics of most top books. Doesn't mean they'll be #1 in 1.5 years (or 5 years). Good luck to them, but sounds like jjgold should change his handle to jjhype.
