More books to fail?

This quote is from an article on the Sports911 site:
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Blue Marlin is the latest casualty of a very brutal football season. Two other sports books in Costa Rica are likely to close down as well, according to 911 sources who would not reveal the names of these books until they obtained further verification <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Looks like the party's over.

"...according to 911 sources..."

Those magical words!

Everyone should calm down, take a deep breath and start looking at the facts as opposed to rumours. sports911? What facts can they prove are indicative of an imminent demise? Without facts, my father always taught me to look the other way.

 

[hanover00]

Seems that the facts are that these rumors started up last week and this week a mid-sized book from CR failed.

Most likely. I think we will see more.

It's time to evaluate your chances of loss and play smart. Lots of newbies out there that will learn the hard way yet.

I can only hope I am wrong.

Brutal, but not for the BOOKS.........Cant beleive anyone is using that excuse.

Sr Muny - Up to a week ago the favorites have won over 85% of the games.

So0 what do you THINK that might mean? Especially to underfunded books, or ones with cash-flow problems.

"Up to a week ago the favorites have won over 85% of the games"

Where in the hell did you get that stat?

Dicky,same place he gets all his info....Sting.

It means books that should not have been in business are not going to be in business.

It means books with a bad business model are not going to be saved.

It means books with a poor customer base are going to have no customer base.

It means the industry as a whole will be more solid, because there will be less flybynight idiots who don't understand the business trying to run sportsbooks....once this all shakes out.

Could'nt agree more

 

[JudgeWapner]

Dicky,I don't know about your joint,but a lot of places are killing for FB this year.Hasn't been a lot of middles,so if places are booking correctly .......

 

[DickyW]

The few that I have talked to were a little dissapointed early on in the foot season but the last month has more then made up for it. I am sure the DOS attacks, bad booking, and other problems have way more to do with books under achieving then the final scores

 

[Tablarasa]

Dicky,

Thats pretty close to the same stuff I am hearing. It wasn't the worst first month in the last few years though, and the last month definitely made up for it.

All the "other" stuff going on is definitely worse for some people than the scores have been, especially recently.

Judge - I don't get any stats info from Sting.

What I meant to say was that for the 1st 9 weeks of the season the favorites were winning. And hurting some of the books.
And after the 6th week some of the books were in trouble.

Wk-1 = 63%
Wk-2 = 81%
Wk-3 = 64%
Wk-4 = 57%
Wk-5 = 71%
Wk-6 = 93%
Wk-7 = 50%
Wk-8 = 64%
Wk-9 = 57%

 

[JudgeWapner]

66%No stats,from Sting?Just bullshit rumors?
