Would you give up life in the US to operate a book elsewhere?

Kruser6 · Feb 8, 2007

Being a gambler and member of this forum as all of you are, I think with all the knowledge gained from a customer perspective we could easily create the top book in the offshore world.

Keep in mind this is fictional, so yes we would have access enough capital to make it happen. The question is, would you give up your life here knowing you would never be able to step foot in the US again?

No I don't think I could. The profits would have to be very large to consider it...

I would miss the sporting events too much

This is a book that follows the exact Pinny model with even better customer service along with a great poker room and online casino. So to answer your question, the profits would be huge.

Things to think about

-Your mom/dad/ any member of your family dies or are sick you would be unable to come visit them or attend their funeral.

not very likely. us has a great gambling economy, but if i left i'd try england. i've heard it's nice there...

Hell yeah in a heartbeat. If I can operate my book as well as Pinny and rake in the dough with a pokersite like Party. I would definitely give up my U.S. residence.

If I were as successful as Pinny, the family would be coming to me then. England would be new homeland where I can conveniently watch the Premiership on the weekend.

I would do it. I don't think it would that hard of decision for me.

Of course if I had the funding...

Coming back is not a problem at all if you keep your mouth shut.

America is going down the drain. Leaving here would be easy. Finding another place to live would be hard.

Hard to say goodbye forever to friends and family

I'd give up visiting the US if that be the case. It's not so special in the US unless you are moderately rich.

McCabe · Feb 8, 2007

I would do it in a heartbeat. I've had enough of the US govt to last me for a lifetime.

You think government elsewhere would be better?

No, too many hassles running a sports book, and I love this country to boot.
