BORAT--- you make a very good analogy here.I think your 100% right in your thinking.These smaller books should merge with the bigger one's and save themselves the embarssement of going broke and not being able to pay there poat-up players.I beleive in two to three years there will only be ten or twelve major books off-shore the competition is so fierce with the reduced juice now that it will be hard for the smaller books to survive.
