I presume this "working model" is well founded, but would be happy if anyone has some numbers to support it. first of all, i would not use FLYT's dismal failure as a yardstick to measure anything. nor would i expect the marketing studies conducted over the last few years to anchor the efforts of IEL to be made available to the public. i would wager, however, that their numbers, support their initiative. in any event, such speculation is pointless & will soon be moot.

>>Could it be that the "working assumption" of 100 players per flight losing $100 is too optimistic? That has been nagging me also..... Initially I thought 10% would gamble(but gamblers tend towards the max anyhow). If you look at the typical group on your plane. It's families w/ kids.... or biz men who might be too tight to game it, got P.C. work, or just slip on the head phones and doze. As popular as in flight "extras" are becoming(I still bawk at the people who fork over $5 for an inflight movie- though I still give up high dollar for spirits), I wonder how much faith the general public has with e-betting? While the one armed bandit was and still is the goose with the golden egg, something about seeing them pop up on a screen might scare people.
