SBR is not showing odds saying because I'm in New Jersey but I am NOT in New Jersey. No where close actually.Comment -
you're probably right friend. guess i was hoping a different forum could take over the offshore business from here
and i don't know if they're having major tech issues right now(?), but i haven't even been able to fully load their site the past couple days. it's just been showing a white screen with all these individual blue links but everything is all screwed upComment -
Those that cannot adapt will be left behind like wounded animalsComment -

only ones that going to be wounded are the sheep that follow a bs sales pitch, that is nothing more than about moneyComment -
prove me wrong down the road!!Comment -
I wonder what happens to the top offshores? Will they be hurting in a few years for US based customers? Honestly, i am concerned. This blowsComment -
^^^^^^100% correct imo, i doubt these usa books will have the games these top offshore books have with games around the world and the many ways you can bet themComment -
A business opportunity has arisen. One that wouldn't even compete with sbr since they have left a key component of their business model.
Not saying financially a bad decision. Probably getting some nice checks, and we could get sportsbook cash back all that.
REALLY sucks for the many not in legal states. I know many 5 figure betters who still have to use offshore.
Shit. I mostly use off shore and am in NJ.Comment -
What does all of this mean? SBR supporting legal sporsbooks and cutting off offshore support/ads/odds?Comment -
I'd like to renew PRO, I used 5dimes account register last year.
If I deposit to it now, does it count? I can't create pinnacle or sportsinteractionComment -
"USA wagering is spreading way more rapidly than anybody thought"
False, very false....Comment -
Are there any other books like Pinnacle who are hard to beat but dont limit winners? In the US Market?Comment -
Well, this reminds me of the old saying "If you're not paying for the product, then you ARE the product." As a capitalist, I respect SBR's right to go where the money is. Their competence is apparent and because of that I'm pretty sure this was a smart move for them.
But like many here, I live in a state that doesn't support real online sports betting. These daily fantasy sports sites are a different type of opportunity, but I haven't figured out a way to reliably make money on that yet. Not sure if it's possible. It doesn't look like real online sports betting will be available in my state for at least 2 years. There are millions in my situation, so somebody is going to fill the void and offer what SBR once did.
It will take a while though. Most here are worried about the live odds. That I think is the easy part because it can be solved with technology. The hard part is for someone to fill the credibility void. I'm not sure if there is comparable dispute resolution and clout with sportsbook ratings such as SBR had with offshore books. Sportsbooks would not want to risk being blacklisted by SBR nor having official SBR announcement of a bettor being stiffed. With that gone, sportsbooks may not be held accountable. Under the pressure of legalized US gambling, they might resort to corrupt practices. If I'm wrong and there are comparable rankings or dispute resolutions, let me know. From what I see, covers and bestamp are nowhere close.Comment -

I'm cut off completely @ DraftKings (Mentioned in a post in this thread above).
I agree exactly. The US based sportsbooks like Fanduel, Draft Kings and William Hill are set up only for players who have no clue that they are getting fleeced and are just throwing away money. And SBR is going to promote only them.
Tell us please, SBR brass: Why get rid of all of the books you had just last week from your odds page? This website is viewed by people all over the world. I am in NJ now because of COVID but will be returning back to my home in Mexico by December.
Think about two types of casino gamblers.
1.) the loser dummies playing the slots -and- roulette (the highest edge for the house). These are your DK, FD & William Hill players)
2.) the card counting Blackjack -and- Craps 3X Don't pass line players (biggest edges for the player). These guys are sharp and will play @ Heritage, YouWager, BetOnline
Anyone defending FD, DK and William Hill in the US as good places to play knows nothing about sports betting odds and vigorish and cannot be taken seriously.Comment -
^^^^^^^ you are spot on imo, a very good thread from you sirComment -
Screw US books unless you're betting cash in personComment -
This site is now most likely owned by a US sports betting outfit of one type or another. They want the site for strategic reasons, not necessarily because they think it will be profitable to operate, and they do not want their name associated with the site.
The stuff going on here is not an accident. It is all very calculated.
They are making a move on all offshore sports betting odds. There are going to be a lot of changes. This is not SBR anymore. It is something else.
Good luck with the racist posts going forward. That is not something US books want anything to do with. It's a whole new ballgame.Comment -
Cantor was somewhat like that when Mike Colbert was running the show. He was much more interested in volume than hold percentage and even the sharper players had what I thought were incredibly high limits even on some limited markets. Of course there were some other things going on as well that cut that experiment short.
It doesn’t affect me as my wagers are not at that level, but I know for a fact that Circa in LV at least for now has been allowing sharper players relatively high limits without cutting them down for merely winning. If you’re someone that’s into comps they are not the book for you, but they do seem like a pretty fair shop.Comment -
Ignorance at its finest
Site has become useless without the off-shore lines hate to see it but nothing surprises me anymoreComment
