No thank you.**** you WVH
Yep, likely just more wild speculation but it's fun to dream again.on one hand i consider shaun deeb more credible than the average well-known online player -- on the other hand he once dressed up as a woman in order to play a poker tournament
I disagree. I don't think it's necessarily needed to pick up a number of 'new customers'.. as I'm sure many will be playing on FTP & increase in revenue would be substantial.Makes no sense to me. Unless Stars is having problems with Zoom and wants to just buy Rush.
$750million for 'Rush'?
The reason it makes no sense to me is that the clientele for both sites was/is essentially the same people. We all all had accounts on both sites. A few were mainly loyal to FT, but they probably also had something going at Stars.
Alot of those same people would be playing on both sites.
They are not going to pick up a number of new customers that would justify it on a 'investment' basis.
This ^Yep. Give me my dollars now and we can worry about competitive balance later.

Surely if there was nothing to this they wouldn't release a no-comment statement like this, right???
+1Agreed. If they are negotiating both the purchase of FT as well as settlement of civil suits, indictments etc. then obviously they can't discuss it publicly.
Also, if it was complete nonsense they would have quickly killed the rumors IMO. I think things are looking up.

Could just be that they're not ready to talk about it yet.On the other hand, this impies that they havent put their signature on an agreement yet.
