Re: My take on the \'dump the skins fiasco\'

Party in one week may go from the largest poker site on the internet to the fourth or fifth. This could pave the way for other large sites to really increase market share. The impact on many pro's that are rakeback dependent multi-tablers could be devestating. Thank you, Jim Kuhn Catfish4u [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] The sharks will go where the fish are, and the fish will go where the advertisements lead them, and Party outmarkets any other site. While you may be right, and many 'breakeven' players who live of rakeback may go to the competitors, they may just get better at Poker. Party's allowing 10 tables now proves that they expect many of the mutli-tablers to migrate across to Party, because that's where the fishies are. I think this is a smart move by Party who knew they had a base which was worth more exclusive than shared, but who knows, it could backfire on them? (I personally doubt it though) Question is, will Empire go bust? Unlike Eurobet which has a sportsbook and casino, I imagine the 'exclusive' Party skins (should that be former Party skins?) will have to talk to their accountants. |

Re: My take on the \'dump the skins fiasco\'
I agree with your thinking on this completely.
While there is an opportunity here for other sites to pick up market share, it probably won't change much. I think Stars could do it because they already have a big player base, but they really don't have the incentive to offer "R" or more frequent bonuses, which is the primary inducement needed to pull in more people. The smaller sites already do "R" and bigger bonuses, that hasn't changed much of anything to this point. Party has the multitablers by the balls and they know it. If you are a multitabler, are you going to go to Prima, etc. just for "R"? You might for a while, but with the lack of enough games you'll eventually go back to the Party fish pond. It's always been about the fish, it always will be. This was a brilliant business decision by them, no matter if one likes it or not. And while we are at it, call in the priest. It's time to administer last rites to Empire/Eurobet/Multi/Intertops. |

I think I will wait a month or 2 to see how this plays out. One thing confuses me about the Skins. Why did Party ever even create them in the first place? Seems like the skins could never really benefit Party. Why include them in the first place? Jim |
