I'm confused
Silver Level
I just read a release form Bodog that they were severing ties with jamie Gold. Their official reason was that they where changing their plan and going after more European players. Sounds to me like a step or 2 before pulling out of the US.
Isn't it more about the banks? Wouldn't Calvin have to cut US players if the banks refused to do business with him if he didn't?I highly doubt it. Not only is 90% of their revenue from their SportsBook, but the majority of those bets are on American sports such as the NFL. If Bodog were to withdraw from the US market they would essentially be crushed and I can't see that happening. As I've said before, the top execs at Bodog like Calvin Ayre have been more than happy to avoid the US for this long, why stop now? In fact, Calvin actually can only travel to very very few countries in the world (one of them being Vietnam) because the rest have treaties with the US.
If you think about it, if Calvin was to drop US players now - it would not help his situation at all, he is still "wanted" in the US and will continue to be for the rest of his life.
I have some points on there, wasn't there a way to cash them out for money?? If anyone remembers that let me know. It's probably over by now though.
Maybe they dropped Jamie Gold because he's a giant douche?
I'd drop Jamie Gold, but I don't see how they could. He should have signed a contract for a year or two...
...and Bingo was his name-0. I'd be suprised if it was true though, because they only have Arieh and Williams...and some asian chick left to promote them. I would think a wsop Main Event winner makes a company money whether he's a huge ass or not, unless it's Varkonyi or someone who's unmarketable. Mcevoy is at Stars and he didn't do anything for 20 years until he finally made it in the money in the Main in '06...Maybe they dropped Jamie Gold because he's a giant douche?

and some asian chick
Uh...why's that smd?Uh, that would be Evelyn Ng. And if you ever see Evelyn in person, you'd no longer refer to her as "some asian chick".
Uh...why's that smd?
is it not more to do with this the reasons whyI just read a release form Bodog that they were severing ties with jamie Gold. Their official reason was that they where changing their plan and going after more European players. Sounds to me like a step or 2 before pulling out of the US.
I didn't mean "chick" in any offensive derogatory way. As for her being asian, I'm pretty sure part of her is, but she's from canada, obviously not Asia. I apologize if I offended anyone.Cause 'some Asian chick's sounds a little sexist and racist? That'll make Johnny chan some Asian bloke.
