we may be good capper but with no commen sense

Well football season nears and the first of many sportsbooks is in big trouble.
this has happened because it has turned out to be the most profitable industry in the world (except oil) which is taxed to death unlike offshore gambling. If we dont have enough commen sense to know when the united states gets involved its only because they feel short changed.
Our government is and allways will controll what we do and when especially when there is 100 billion a year involved. These offshore gambling houses is short lived until our government figures how to get these profits, your money is at best unsafe.

Brian - I think you are misinformed.

IMO

1) The online gambling bill and the situation with BOS really have nothing to do with each other.

2) I do not believe other books will have any issues similar to BOS.

3) BOS is taken the fall because of people involved in their company committed criminal acts (accused).

4) Everyone knows the government would like a piece. I do not think this is news.

5) I do not believe the overall risk of playing offshore is any different than it was 5 years ago.

Again all opinions only - no facts! But I don't believe they can be logically disputed.

I trust my money with any legitimate offshore book. As I mentioned I don't think it has much to do with the BOS thing.

BUT - I will be adding some new sponsors to CM in the very near future and these will be books that I personally trust. I am in talks with several so look for those soon.

Brian - I do understand the fear. Anytime you lose money it will bring out these fears. I am not saying anything is wrong with it. I guess what I am saying is in the end I believe the industry will be fine
