Major,
Good job posting this here...now I'm starting to remember the REAL REASON I chose Belize instead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BBuster,
Thanks for pointing that out, until you've been on the bookie end of this, people have ZERO concept of the cost involved with bandwidth, phones, etc...
BlackChip,
YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD!!! This is simple greed, flavored with a tiny bit of stupidity, and a heavy dose of short sighted thinking. But if there's one thing that I've learned from being in the Caribbean and Central America, there is NO long term thinking. They'd rather make 1 million dollars in one year than $800,000 per year over a three year period. I'm telling you, it's utterly prevalent in Antigua and many of the nations in the Caribbean and Central America. If you tell a guy down here, "I'll give you $20 to stand in place for 5 minutes, or I'll pay you $50 to walk 200 yards down the street and 200 yards back to pick up your money"...I guarantee that the majority would take the $20 and spare themselves the 400-yard walk, or risk that chance that you might die in the time it takes them to walk that far.
If anyone in the Antiguan government is smart enough to monitor these boards, and they should if they don't, please realize that you guys are costing yourselves MUCHO DINERO over the long haul. Not every sportsbook or casino located in your country is the next WWTS and has more money than god...people will leave...and not just suspect or under funded operations, but quality sportsbooks as well.  |
