Roberto,

I noticed in another thrread that there was a question of how many active clients that a book had. Can you give us an idea of some other books, slow, med, large and what their handle would be? Also can you tell us the differnce in handle per client in a proffesional book as well as a book taking only recreational players.

Roberto (in another thread) said...
An yearly average of 3,500 actives equates to as low as 1,000/1,200 actives in slow season with peaks of up to 6,000 actives in high season. This can be considered the size of a mid size book.

I don't have Pinnacle's latest figures but I can tell you that in 2004 they were close to 3 Billions in handle (volume). Keep in mind that Pinnacle caters both Pros and recreational, therefore their average betsize is significantly higher than other operations, hence inflating handle.
