Sportsbook marketing in the days ahead

TheGeneral+ · Apr 9, 2004

Since we know the DOJ in the US is going to try and make modern day/current marketing tactics tougher, do any of you care to share some ideas on future marketing plans?

A brainstorm session is good. Doesn't really matter of you think a bad idea, it could lead into a nice marketing ploy.

All input is appreciated.

Thanks

On the Flintstones episode in which Fred gets addicted to gambling, you know "bet, bet, BET BET BET..." have the Kazoo teleport him into the future where George Jetson introduces him into the world of online gaming. As the screen loads, briefly flash the name of a sportsbook, just enough to have a subliminal impact.

I dunno, just a thought.

Something could come of that idea I suppose, but if the DOJ doesn't want google and yahoo involved, I doubt they will allow the cartoon network to do so.

If the US market is vital to the long term success of Caribean, Costa Rican, etc books: I think for their survival they need to come together say the top 5 or so and form a corporation with even a paid Washington lobbyiest. I know this sounds way "out there". But I don't know how desperate they are. But I do know one thing and one thing only. DC understands that $ talks and Bulls### walks. Any serious group needs a hired gunslinger in the Nations Capital. On the other hand---

A team approach is likely better than an individual approach OMT.

Exactly General,

Also I want to see how the WTO appeal turns out. Assuming the US looses it--wil they be asked to leave the WTO if not conforming to it's rules?
