I'm sick of hearing the term " run on the bank "

Please stop using this phrase.. as it is horseshhit

forum players amount to about 3% of the total online gamblers.. and if you're a book that ONLY has forum players... you're flat out stupid and will go under regardless.

Noreaga,

Excellent point. A "run on the bank" is often an excuse used by sports books who don't have enough money to pay out...

What the hell else are you supposed to call it then Noreaga. Are you saying that it never happens? If it does happen then what are we supposed to call it. Dumb post.

this post leads me to wonder what percent of post up money at a book is from people who are familiar with the forums.

i would bet it is a lot more than 3 percent.

As SHIRNK stated, if a run on the bank hurts a book, your money is not safe to begin with.

Especially if the run on the bank is just forum players, beings, I feel we make up a small %, although I think it maybe be a little higher than the 3% stated by NOR.

You are a moron. You have ZERO idea what you are talking about. It's not a run on the bank when such a small percent of your client base are making withdrawals.

Only books with little or no money would call it a run on the bank when forum players make withdrawals.

You are the one that has ZERO idea what you are talking about. Has a run on the bank ever happened before? Yes, ofcourse it has. Get a clue. Like I said, dumb post.

Your post is so generic and idiotic it makes no sense. At least talk about what book you are referring. There are books that couldn't handle it if everyone withdrew their money, posters or not and this is referred to as a "run on the bank". Poster or not has little to do with it. Might seem like more when you spend all your time on it.

As usual, you are all missing the point when it comes to Bookmaking. We all know how Banks work and hence "run on the Bank" is an understandable predicament. To use the same phrase in Bookmaking circles beggars belief.
