A WSEX parable:

Businessman owns a premium wine store. He wants to increase sales, so he acquires the building next door with the intention to create a happening night spot. The theory being that some of the people frequenting the swinging night spot will come to the wine store and buy some premium wine.

However, he wants to create a unique night spot, a place free from the usual unsavoriness of bars/clubs. So he bars alcoholics, drug users, smokers, gamblers, rowdy characters, and other low-lives from entering his night club. He now has a wholesome, friendly, and safe night club.

Unfortunately, there are only a handful of folks interested in night spots who pass muster to frequent his bar, so soon he has to institute a cover charge. Now even less people come. In the end, his bar is shut down.

Also, he did not increase sales at his wine shop.

GG.

Except that WSEX caters to poker players and sports bettors, so the parable regarding the exclusion of degenerates seems quite out of place.
I don't think they've set their hopes too high, especially based on what i know about these two groups.

Or Are you saying that they should open a free escort service and porn shop, as well?

If so, I think its a bold request, but I second the idea. I don't think it will increase traffic, but it would be nice to be able to spend my FPPs on something practical.

I assume you are referring to the exclusion of HUDS.
Maybe, But most of the regulars use HUDS at other sites, so not every HUDder is sitting on the sideline moping. I am not sure what impact it would have, but I'm all for it.

Not as key as the escort service for FPPs, but servicable.
