What is the future for forums like this?

whalewager · Dec 7, 2008

The LARGE forums like TheRX, MW, and SBR

Will these types of forums adjust with the times and go more mainstream advertising?

With the current state of the offshore industry, wouldnt it be smart to use your traffic numbers and start going at least partially in a different direction?

I would think that with this kind of traffic...you could advertise team products, sports apparel, gumballs, dog food, etc and make a good chunk....

Thinking if contacted Moneytree and others would be here in a heart beat.

Lets get this rolling fellas...

The % off current player accts have to be down...Therx is a goldmine with these numbers...

No need to completely turn your back on the offshores but at least look at different revenue streams to work on for the future...

You have a great team...use it

Just think of the advertisement of advance and send all in one stop shopping.

wilheim · Dec 7, 2008

Interesting concept.

I passed a link to this thread along to Management.

Thanks, Wil.

there is an evolution of any business but online you have to be able to turn on a dime to keep revenue up...

i think overall there has been a refusal in the industry as a whole to recognize the need for a change OUTSIDE of gambling.

D2bets · Dec 7, 2008

Covers is the largest.

whalewager · Dec 7, 2008

Covers too. Thanks D2. I wasnt trying to rank by numbers...sbr would probably be considered smaller and less active...just the ones that came to mind for me.

oldirtyku · Dec 7, 2008

GJ. You on point with this thread... What's wrong you today?

BadCo · Dec 7, 2008

With all us slobs that frequent here,hell beer advertisers would love to tap into this crowd.

They wouldn't though as we are pariahs flirting the wire act laws.

Our beloved government would probably fine Budwiser if was contributing to unlawful gambling.

Well, how close do you think we have gotten?

No need to go into details about how the industry has suffered and will continue to suffer...we all know where ths industry is headed if processing stays as bad as it is and probably gets worse...

we are getting very very close to the refusal point

Use your numbers to make money

Uno · Dec 7, 2008

I think we are at the brink. All you have to do is look at the top of the forum to see that there are spots available that used to have books who were mainstays.

I also think that if you cannot change with the times you get left behind and the first site to tap into something new will set itself apart very quickly.

^^^

you may only have one ball but you are no dummy...

Uno · Dec 7, 2008

yea, that and i could still kick your ass with one hand tied behind my back...

whalewager · Dec 7, 2008

Please ban UNO from this thread...he cannot be serious and this is serious business.

OH...one more thing...if you would like to wager on that...it can be arranged

Probably could be sponsored by Moneytree
