Lots of options is definitely conducive to winning for the discerning. And it's conducive to losing for the impulsive idiots. They have to post lines for everything under the sun and the more they post the more prone they are to "error". The bettor can pass over 99% of the crap and hone in on the 1% that is good.

That is the biggest thing and nice if i go in casino to sit somewhere in AC and watch a game with a drink. But offshore i have never had to pay taxes and bonuses way better. Bonuses in NJ suck small ones often but not worth it to me. First deposit is best one. I get $10 bonus on a $30 deposit or deposit $88 get $18 garbage like that mostly. YW and BP have normally 40% cash or 70% FP .Justbet has 100% FP here and there. Jazz is 50% cash. GT is off and on sometimes i have seen up to 150% . And they all pay.

Limits is certainly not an advantage of USA books. USA books are generally much tougher with limiting and have lower limits than offshores.

And you actually get paid much faster at many offshores than legal books. But I'm a patient man, so that doesn't matter too much to me anyways. As long as I get paid.

How can you put Marathon and Pinnacle in the same league? Pinnacle doesn't limit while at Marathon you're lucky to get 10 bucks in. Guess we now know what kind of bettor you are.

True. only issue is now if you have a major problem/glitch offshore? No one is around to facilitate the payout. No more leading watchdogs to assist
the land based? Regulated and have to pay you, albeit slower

The customer service at dk and fd is awful. Caesars too.
I have an issue at fanduel. I deposited via bank transfer on the 28th. I had just enough in there for the deposit. I thought it would be like betmgm and take the money out instantly. Stupid me never checked. Well they didnt attempt to take the money out until the 31st at night...but i had another small charge come through earlier in the day..resulting in my bank not paying fanduel.
Of course i went on a heater. Now im stressing out and want to pay them asap . But support keeps telling me they get back to me. Ive tried twitter, chat, etc.
Im not gonna have my winnings confiscated like offshore would, am I?
No shot taken, if that was the case i would have deposited way more than what i did.

Not exactly true. There is that other site which has picked up that mantle.
But I would say that people should indeed be cautious about which offshore books they trust their money with.

I don't understand why they don't just hire more customer service reps. When it takes a week to reply to an email or no live phone operator something is wrong. I was going to deposit to sugarhouse app but there was an issue depositing and I could get no help from customer service. So I will never in my life make a deposit there. They need to understand they are losing customers over this.

Its awful. Im still waiting on fanduel. Chat rep yesterday said he would send an email. No email . Support on twitter said they would follow up. Nothing. My withdrawal is still pending. I have no clue if I will even get to keep my winnings. I want to pay these people. You would think they would want to respond. Live chat shows 99+ ppl ahead of you and they dont help anyways.
Caesars just never even responded after 3 emails.
Barstool was good at first but now slow to reply.
Hell even the playplus card support takes forever to respond.
Terrible.

Do you know what is the ratio of US books action vs the rest of the World?
For every $1 gambled at US based books $999 are gambled in all the other countries in the world combined.

I do not bet that big but looking at action network twitter etc They are constantly posting bets that is 100K or 500K or whatever. Look at MatressMack betting 4.5 mill on the Bengals. never see that at Pinnacle
