    Go with a legal Colorado Sportsbook or stay offshore?
    Trying to get some opinions, I live in Colorado and have only ever used 5Dimes which is now ditching U.S. customers so I need to find somewhere else. As soon as my BTC payout from 5Dimes processes where should I go?
    I bet just college football/NFL. The whole sportsbetting landscape has changed in Colorado and was legalized May 1st. Do I stay offshore like I've done all these years and go to a place like Bookmaker/Heritage or go to an official legal place here in Colorado?

    I've done some searching and there's a bunch of mobile sportsbooks legalized in CO like DraftKings/FanDuel/William Hill/BetRivers/BetMGM/theScore. Any of those books worth looking into or all garbage lines with high vig?

    Local books are handing out money and bonuses right now to get bettors. Not sure it’s a great long term but at least you’ll prob never get shafted on money. Customer service pretty solid in Illinois with new DraftKings.

          Nothing big, $10 to $50 a wager depending on what I like.

            So, safe to say you'll have 10-50 on the steel curtain this weekend?

              I was looking at DraftKings as well, they are so heavily marketed and pushed I just wasn't sure how decent they actually are. At least I know payouts won't ever be an issue. DraftKings and William Hill look decent, just don't know, maybe I should look at promotions.

                Hah I'll probably put something down to keep the game interesting but I usually don't like to bet much on my own team. They say it's never wise to involve emotion in your bets and it's hard to remain unbiased on your own team.

                    They are all basically the same all EURO BOOKS and all high juiced lines

                    Some decent perks Draftkings and Fandual but any others a pure waste

                    If you want to win cannot play USA books because of juice why play a spread at -110 to -115 when Heritage -105 ????????????

                    Why play ML's USA say -140 when offshore -133 same game or dog +160 USA and offshore +170?????

                          If that’s all he bets, he should use the Colorado books. Offshore is better when you do more sports and more money

                            i would split the money so that way you can still shop lines. one domestic, one offshore.

                            i would still keep a little offshore to shop and get some good bonuses since you bet in the same range i bet. bonuses help guys like us.

                                Some good info in here, appreciate the responses so far. Thinking of splitting it between a legal place and offshore like some of you suggested. DraftKings or William Hill, anyone have thoughts on which one is better?

                                Best place for 3‐4 team teasers, Heritage or Bookmaker?
