Their business model for a US company is excellent. Their savvy in running the poker website part profitably is just not that good.

Mason's post reveals one interesting tidbit... they sell 250k books a year. That speaks to the value of the company. How much would the publisher average share per book be? I don't know book pricing stuff, but at $10 a book, that's $2.5m a year from books.
I agree with PPP 100% on these points, that website makes six figures a month and they have an affiliate program for the non US side.
