Hmmm..... either that or it came directly from the rooms, considering their U.S. marketing dollars being spent in 2007 are 10% what they were in 2006. Maybe Absolute and U.B. realized that it was negative EV and ROI to keep these guys on the payroll when they are not using them in all the T.V. and print ads like they used to be.
Could be either, just a thought. But my guess is a guy like Helmuth is not too concerned with having his name on UB. If other pro's start pulling away from Stars and FT, then I would be more concerned.
I would love to see what kind of case would be raised if an honest poker affiliate who runs a regular business and pays all his taxes were arrested. This would seem like an impossible case for any type of prosecution. They would be better going after the 100-200 NL players that don't keep records, gamble "illegally" online, and then don't pay any taxes.
