Small, Medium or Large

[JoeyC]

When do you classify a book as small, medium or large?

Is 200 actives small or medium
Is 500 actives small or medium

*Actives = players betting within 30 days.

Opinions from all are encouraged.

200 small,500 medium.

JC.. tough one considering no idea of Volume being wagered. On pure customers only I would consider 200 and 500 small. Some books may consider themselves medium with a volume of 500 but I wouldn't.

200-smaller

Guys since "active" is a bit elusive how about handle per month?

75,000,000 Super-sized
30,000,000 to 78m Large
7,000,000 to 30m medium
1,000,000 to 7m small
500k mom & pop micro
???

How many Carib books do over $75m a month? 7?

OK..............Care to name them?

Didn't Cris do almost a billion last year, thats about 80mm/month.

The sportingbet group did just under 1 billion from their latest financials.

Willhill did 3.3 billion a few years ago, thats about 250mm/month so yes some books are that large.

BUZZ was talkin about BOOKS in the Caribean. I say NO BOOK in the CARRIBEAN is doing 70+ Mil a month.

So besides a company that is TRADED, How do you confirm what the VOLUME was? For example, where do those CRIS numbers come from?

 

[PanchoSanza]

CRIS , and I bet Pinny, Oly and GRANDE are right up there with them.
