Here's one that I've never really understood. As the number of offshore books keeps increasing, what do you guys at BWorld look at as "minimum" requirements for inclusion on "the list" or to advertise, for that matter.
The other part of the question is this............Jeff, you made a reference in your discussion of the NAB situation, that you had known the principals for I believe 6 or so yrs. Has NAB been around that long? And if not, then where is the line drawn on "newer operations"? As an example, let's say you have 2 individuals that run a well known and respected book for 20 yrs. One buys the other out. The guy that got bought out, or forced out or whatever starts a "new book" today. Does he get on the list based on his previous 20 yr unblemished record??
I'm not trying to pick on you or your list, and I might be totally off base here...............but it seems to me that with the exception of Aces Gold, most of the books that have had problems are ones that "appear" on recommended lists on the different sites, because of some "previous" accomplishments under a different business. Aladdins, Dunes, Caribi, etc. come to mind. It seems that these outfits opened up, got on everyones recommended lists pretty damn quickly & then had problems and sailed into the sunset...............all in pretty short order. And then I look at the list, and I see some other books that have been there forever without any problems. Am I totally off base on this??
