With all the uncertainty surrounding the online gambling biz I would say that the 18x precious earning would not apply. Without selling your affiliate accounts with your sites I would say that the value these days would be 18x previous earnings with at least a 50% discount or more. It really comes down to a gamble right now how long will affiliates still be able to make money in this biz. Some still our confident that there will be some casinos top market to US players. Some are still confindent that there will be a way for players to make deposits, but will they be able to. With all the uncertainty in this business right now I beleive each person has to choose what they feel is best for them now and in the long run.
