    Yes JJ. Look at the size of the UK books, they are huge organisations, the Euro books are way behind the curve in almost every aspect (from a business perspective).

    If it calls a bonus a 'freeplay', defaults to US odds and refers to 'juice', I class it as 'offshore'/US facing regardless of where its licenses, its parent company, where its servers are etc.

    If it bans UK players, its Australian book

    If it has a sh!t website, its an asian book

    If it has cack odds, its a French book

    Everything else is a Euro book.

    Quite a simplification, but 99% accurate imo

    You missed UK - If it has a cracking website, super on-going offers, more financial muscle than some banks, employs 100-300k people, has turnover in the £bn's, but limits sharp customers - then it's a UK book.

    big books have millions of customers. booting 1000 guys hitting $500 on average each week, saves 26mil at the end of the year

    Its seem they can school them, maybe becaus they invented sportsbetting?? So creative, savy and know how to post lines that are tough to beat. I do not care what the juice is, its all about ROI for the book.
    big time bullshit

    gutless euro bookies limit you to $10 if you win $200

    William Hill new account I made a deposit and my first bet was Phoenix Suns to Win Pacific Division +25000. Promptly sent to agent who adjusted to max bet of $13.36 CAD. 2nd bet 40 cent spread live betting nba and they move line against me on dog each time i try to place it then promptly limit. They don't want anyone but absolute squares playing.
