    The Bookmaker streak contest shows about 12,500 accounts (probably includes all Bookmaker books such as DSi, Justbet, etc)

    Probably for every account playing there's at least one that doesn't bother, don't you think?

    theres around like 300,000,000 people in the US. lets say only 1% of that population alone, i think its much higher than that tho, places bets regularly or just on highly televised games every once and a while. thats 3,000,000 people. if there were 300 major offshores with equal customers thats 10,000 per sportsbook. obviously theres not 300 major sportsbooks with equal customer base, but if you just take into account 3-4 of the major books as mentioned above. i would have to say over 10,000 customers is a safe guess. but idk.

    Keep in mind many of these books have sister sites. Bookmaker/dsi were mentioned, but even 5dimes has sister sites like sportbet and asianbookie.

    Anybody else paranoid about a hit being put out on them for winning too much? I've taken a book for 20k plus I still have a balance for 35k... can't you find a hit man for 10-20k? It would be cheaper for the book to off me right?? Anybody else concerned about this kind of risk management from 3rd world countries?

    When a book feels like you are winning too much, they'll just limit your action to peanuts ...
    Takes about 5 seconds and 1 mouse click ... much more practical than hiring hitmen ...

    They aren't even the big name sportsbooks but you would think they would have 100k + members

    Bet365 and other UK books with all there other books are definitely in the hundreds of thousands if not going beyond a million each.

    Three.
    Three would be more than enough when your clients are Brock, Seaweed and lakerboy.

    The smaller books usually have about 600 or less active players

    Baseball numbers drop drastically

    I don't think it's as many as people think. For example BetDSI has a streak contest. I haven't played in forever and I am in 4400 place. That means they have around 5,000 members.

    Account Holders vs active account holders is totally different

    Could be 20k account holders and 2k active meaning a bet per week

    wow you guys are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay off.

    the small peasant sites have around a max of 300-400 active. They are usually the ones that end up calling the living shi out of you trying to get you to deposit.

    Heritage has 4,500 active due to their invitational sign ups only

    The big ones like 5 dimes and bookmaker have around 20,000 active.

    The biggest by far is pinnacle which has around 140,000 active.

    I think the estimates on here are way low. I would bet that there are way over a million US customers at each of the big books.

    A million is a bit high.

    318 million people in the US.

    Figure 50% of them are female (who notoriously don't bet sports)

    Figure of the 160 million males 1/3 are under the age of 18.

    Figure another 1/5 of these are over the age of 80 and don't even know what the internet is.

    We now have 80 million people.
    (I rounded numbers to factor in people in Nevada)

    Numbers say that 17% of these people will place a sporting bet this year. That leaves us with 14 million.

    Of those 14 million, you subtract 22% because of economical situations. We now have 10 million.

    So 10 million people that will place at least one bet during the year somewhere. Illegal bookmakers still make up more than 50% of all sports betting...agreed?

    5 million people that will make one bet that won't be made through a local book.

    Divide that number between the 25 or so offshore books and I am going to say average book has 200,000 clients.

    im still sticking with my guess of easily over 10,000 probably closer to 20,000 of active bettors, which i define as putting in at least one bet in the last 2 months. and this just being at 5dimes alone.

    The big guys have the market share with the US facing books. Small books hoping to get to a 1000 customers. Peanuts compared with Asian and euro books.
