In mid 2007 he successfully transferred ownership of the Bodog brand in North America to the Morris Mohawk Gaming Group.<br /><br />Internationally Bodog has put in place a very competent and significantly European executive team that is already managing Bodog Europe and Africa and plans to further expand to Latin America. <br /><br />Ayre will be taking some time to himself in his home in Antigua and will continue to support charitable opportunities through the Calvin Ayre Foundation. Ayre noted that, "While it has been great fun to live my life in front of the world's cameras and online though my blog, I am looking forward to a more private and meaningful period of giving back and working to support the Calvin Ayre Foundation."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2964562613406690283-7873897277332037982?l=waltspokerviews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>walthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13174780065869458012noreply@blogger.com0
