I honestly don't know how the offshore books are going to get new players

[danshan11]

98% of bettors think the jets will win at any number and dont even know what vig means, they just know you bet 11 to make 10

Yeah, these local shops are going to get fukked, funny thing is, so will the bettors.

Off shores could easily lower the vig on Horse racing. Dont the tracks have a big rake?

Premise is the same. If it’s difficult to move money on and off the casual players will gravitate to where it’s easier. They don’t care about juice.

Offshore will still have US players. More experienced players and from states with no sports betting or places where you’d have to drive from afar. Like someone who lives an hour away from the casino isn’t going to drive there on a whim to play a small bet on the 7:00 game after work. They’ll just as soon set up on online account

Not to mention there is a growth of casinos and poker rooms going on anyway. Soon the drive will not be far for anyone. And the legalization will add to that growth. OP question was about acquiring new players. Convenience will win out as it does most often. States don't lose. just like the lottery, alcohol, and now marijuana. It will be the same.
