go local or offshore???

[Cinderella_632]

New here and been out of the game for awhile but wanted to get back in the swing of things. With sports betting legalized now in 4 states and appears to be catching on in other states, should I open offshore (I got screwed before by Bodog) or should I go local? Just wondering what the trend is these days. Any input is helpful. Thanks!

It will take local-legal books a long time, if ever, to match various incentives of offshore.

[Booya711]

I will take a local (legal or illegal) all day over offshore...

More options the better..why not do both

[str]

IMO both.

Offshore
Legal

Both if you have access

[THam12]

Local that can pay you via PayPal is awesome... Waiting for offshore books sucks

[SBR Tony]

I would say both as well because you won't find "everything" at these State run sportsbooks

Offshore has a lot more to offer
Now if they can come up with a better way of getting money to and from, it would be a perfect world

Always keep your options and outs as wide as possible.

Offshore will be a better deal, but local can be very convenient. Once you're in one of the new high vig local shops, which are still coming, try to benefit from discrepancies in the line caused by local bias and the high vig.

The local bias effect will be huge and I'm looking to place people in eligible states. Syndicates are ahead here and will eventually stamp out the inefficiencies.

Get it while it's hot.

It's like the GoldRush days before and during the early internet gambling.

Are they dealing -110 lines or do you see any difference in lines than elsewhere?

-110 standard like vegas

even with an app you will have to drive to deposit and withdraw just like Vegas

Not good

That's good, they are ahead of the game.

Gold, are all deposits and withdrawals done at the site?

You could just keep a balance, having an app should be a great benefit and prices are cool.

That state is doing it right and the big US firm is handling the business. So can Will Hill or Paddy open up next door and undercut the prices?

How did you get screwed?

[jjgold]

These firms will never undercut the prices Vegas never does

Most of them are based off united kingdom prices so you’ll never see Low juice

These outfits masterminded catering to losers

You should try to bet where the best odds are offered. If you reach the limit move on to the next book with the best odds for your bet selection.

It's + ev in the long run.

It will always be so hard to beat places like Betonline, Heritage, 5 Dimes the juice just too low
