Fish should have the low down on this terrible situation.

There is no lowdown. There are no answers. Sad but true. Maybe some comforting words or a joke. But nothing more.

MJ- Just arrived back in the office a few minutes ago.

As Sportsavant stated, do not know much more than the masses on Pinnacles departure and particularly the way this is coming down so suddenly...........but have stated over and over in the past few weeks that one can expect many offshore sportsbooks, casinos, and pokerrrooms to discontinue their service to the U.S. citizens ............for whatever reasons they deem they feel it is necessary to do such

It is obvious to this observer that they are feeling pressure from the US government........perhaps in ways that we are not even aware.

could you expand on what your thoughts are concerning this? will this spread to other books as well?

Stand by and look at what has happened thus far.

Believe it would be complete denial to say that a few more books will not follow suit.......now how many, thats not certain.

PINNACLE was not the first large offshore gaming company to quit serving US citizens so this really should be no shock to anyone, other than the way they handled the situation.

I envision us at the 25th RX bash standing around and talking about how it use to be....I was caught off gaurd by the BOS situation and scoffed at all of "the sky is falling" talk, i'm shocked by the circumstances of today. Where it ends and how we move forward from here is something to contemplate for sure, I may just "draw down" and take a break until after the 270 day period comes and goes.

Plainly stated 2 months ago that I had reduced my offshore exposure by 85%+.

So he reduced his offshore exposure....so what? This isn't like a BoS situation where players lost money. We lost a book that's all. It's like a solid local you had drops dead. Go find a new one.

Exactly!!

.......and I would doubt very seriously that any US citizen will be stiffed by Pinnacle.

Anyway, let's pray this is the case.

Fish, any books you would recommend staying away for fear of being stiffed?

No, certainly not in my personal top 6-7....

WSEX/MATCHBOOK
SKYBOOK
HERITAGE
BETJAMAICA/OLY
VIP
LEGENDZ/ThePIG


HOWEVER, remember one thing always, this is an UNregulated industry and your money is never 99%+ safe in any offshore gambling establishment, be it a sportsbook, casino, or pokerroom.

Anyone want to band together and take matters into our own hands. This general Bush needs to be stopped. An example needs to be made.

By the way. Do not take me seriously about banding toghether and getting general Bush, I'm only goofing. But honestly he's made a lot of bad decisions in his life. I've been a Bush hater since the day he killed Carla Faye Tucker, when he was governor of Texas. He will go down in history as one of the greatest killers of all time.
