I don't usually give props to the Shrunken Head across the street, due to his almost hilariously irresponsible "reportage" in the past.

But he has made one valid point, I think. Watch for a book or two to possibly do their swan song on February 1st, or the eve of Jan 31.

His reasoning is that ad payments are due on the first, and there would be no sense of a book planning to dive to pay another month. So, look for the banners up now at all the sites, and crap early and often if one or two are missing on Friday or Sat.

If they're gonna go, they won't wait until after the Super.

But maybe we'll be surpised and none will gallop into the sunset.

I'm not worried about a stiff from Mansion, but that could be the day they say no more USA. They tend to do things on the 1st.

I think a book planning in advance to close and stiff would pay for the banner, maybe with a bad check ?

I doubt they pay with a check, probably EFTs. It made sense to me - were I a book making ready to bolt, I'd bail before the SB. Of course, the flaw is that a site may not take them down immediately, try to reach them and fail, but attribute it to SB betting overload.

What bothered me is that today, when I called a book adverted on this site to draw all but a few hundred, I was told that I should wait till Thursday, when they'd have "more payout options" availale. But if I used the few they had available, becuase of backlog, I likely wouldn't get the bucks until "maybe Wednesday or Thursday."

I've bashed Bush and friends many times on this site, but history and nature knows only winners. And he and his pals have won.
