I don't know enough to give odds, but I would be extremely surprised if Stars were ever to go this route. |

I don't know enough to give odds, but I would be extremely surprised if Stars were ever to go this route. I've heard rumours Howard, Jesus and the rest want to cash their chips in. Can't see anyone apart from Stars else paying what they think FT is worth. |

Can't see anyone apart from Stars else paying what they think FT is worth. cant seet anyone buying an existing site with the current climate in US and doubt that existing operators might not get licenes if regulation goes ahead that being said cant blame the boys for wanting out...................... and if there was legal clarity -what a great buy for one of teh big casino chains wanting a big entrance |

Full Tilt do on occasion say events we 'should avoid playing' none have been stars events. Some of the stars tv cash games have had no tilt pros, i am not sure if that is stars doing or tilts. |

How much is FT worth today?
$1 billion?
$500 million?
Can't see Harrah's or MGM paying that. Both would set up new operations instead.

wouldn't tilt float on the stock market if they wanted to cash out or is that not wise with the US legislation as it is?

Must be worth more than a billion (I have no idea though) I would have guessed around 3-5billion $ ??
would stars be allowed to buy full tilt? I know Tesco got stopped from buying safeway back in the day is there a similar market policing in this industry (seems unlikely thinking about it)
mmmmmm would be a huge huge deal
