I was arguing last night with a good friend of mine about the pros and cons of offshore vs a local book. He wonders why I use locals and felt one of his pros was off shore legitimacy and I did not agree. Of course there are many legit off shores, but the same applies to locals. Is there a list, and ideally a back story of the MAJOR books that went under over the years? I have heard of a few on this site over the past 2 years but never paid too much attention. Any info would be appreciated .

I'd feel very nervous winning more than 5k from a local where As I wouldn't break a sweat if I won 50k at heritage or 5Dimes

Hello Optional how are you . Thanks for your reply and good luck this football season, I am sure you will have your hands full as a mod this time of year. . That list isn't really what I was referring to, there are a hundred bankrupt books on that list that were funded with less then I have in my pocket right now. My question was how many big ones went down like cascade. A dozen no names will go down every year that's a given. It's not the same as if a 5dimes, pinnacle, bookmaker or another quality respected outfit closed up.

I completely understand your sentiment there. So I assume heritage is another big respected shop. Thanks for your input.
