Is there anything in the world more expensive than internet poker?

[Dudd]

Party had something like a 50% profit margin when they first went public. There are few if any other industries that can boast that kind of profit margin, and almost certainly none with the kind of volume that online poker sites generate. If basic economic theory is correct, then the price of rake will have to come down. Of course, that assumes a rational consumer, and sadly I really doubt that losing players act rationally.
