    Thoughts on WynnBet and Barstool
    With sports betting about to hit Massachusetts soon, I’m gearing up for opening some new accounts. Already have DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM, Bet Rivers and SuperBook all through New Jersey.

    Have not really had any one favorite over others. Was not impressed with Caesars or BetMGM so probably won’t continue with them. Even the online casinos in both were disappointing (Bad VP and Blackjack).

    They say up to 15 apps will be available in MA and they’ve kept taxing low enough that should drive many to enter the market.

    Do not have WynnBet and Barstool yet. I figure these two will be live the quickest since they align with Encore Boston and Plainridge Park.

    WynnBet seems OK in looking at it, and I’m sure would have some kind of generic bonus for signing up. Barstool seems like it’s just for square action but I could picture them doing some funny promos and giveaways with the Boston roots.

    Anyone have thoughts on these books?

    Well, we know the high vig, Reload.

    I was at the joint recently, and the place is ready to go.

    I think it could have been configured a little bigger cause it's gonna be madness when it opens.

    Don't know much about bonuses, brother.

    Even though I'm stayin offshore, will open an account here for the excitement of finally havin sports bettin.

    Unfortunately, I don't think we're gonna be ready for the season.

    Hey, have a great season, brother...................

      Wynn app is pretty lame. Feels very 1990s to me. Barstool is meh. Heard of a bunch of disputes with them so eliminated their place in the rotation. BetMGM gives the best and most frequent bonuses to me these days. Often deposit 400 get 100 free cash added with 1x roll and bet $100 on a specific sport get a $40 freeplay on another etc. I find myself on BetMGM and Dkings the most these days.

        I would recommend Wynnbet.They often have different #'s than the other books.Not the place for prop bets though.Very limited menu there.

            Yes, Roscoe - I agree the setup at Encore is not big enough. Especially for NFL Sunday and other marquee betting days, I think many will be without seats there. It’s also not very comfortable and is more like sitting at tables in a food court. Hopefully they will learn and add some space - even some overflow seating in the ballroom would be useful.

            Hope your season is a great one, too!

              Good to know, JJ! Yes, Kambi seems pretty vanilla when I’ve seen it used.

                Yes, topgame - Barstool has seemed that way based on what I’ve seen with others. I’d probably only bother if they gave a good initial bonus or giveaway. Probably will give Wynn a decent shot even if the app isn’t great since at least it would be tied to Encore nearby.

                  Thanks, dark star. I don’t do props much at all and it’s good if they have more opinionated numbers than others. Sounds like it will work well for me to at least try out.

                          Heard so many Negatives about Barstool, Portnoy has to pay all those employees and all the Pizza he eats. The only good thing about Barstool is Fran and high noon trivia.

                            Portnoy has nothing to do with Barstool

                                    Don't count on anytime soon MA getting sportsbetting. Maybe by early next year. Look how long it took for the casinos to finally be built.

                                      WynnBET consistently has the best odds in NY and it’s not even close. I would assume they are the same nationwide. MGM lines are consistently the worst in NY, but they pay instantaneously.

                                            Wynn good for Bases and hockey. Really trash for futures, live betting, props, anything exotic. App is archaic looking and not the smoothest.

                                            Barstool I've found to be decent in futures, great for golf. Good live betting and an assortment of props/exotics. Really smooth app. I find that it's up there top 5 for most lines. Just like anything else, shop around.

                                            AZ also has like a dozen outs.

                                            My Top 5:
                                            Caesars
                                            Barstool
                                            Superbook
                                            Fan Duel
                                            MGM

                                            I've found Draftkings is really only great for MMA parlays.

                                                Wynn has in house trading so odds are bit better than your standard kambi/sb tech lines. They have limited markets so if you're only betting core markets you'll be fine. Way quicker to be limited at Barstool. Wynnbet has a terrible app/browser but if you can get past that they're okay. Don't expect much in the way of bonuses for either. Those days of free money are slowly going away as companies cut down marketing spend.

They have limited markets so if you're only betting core markets you'll be fine. Way quicker to be limited at Barstool. Wynnbet has a terrible app/browser but if you can get past that they're okay. Don't expect much in the way of bonuses for either. Those days of free money are slowly going away as companies cut down marketing spend.

                                                    Barstool cannot be mentioned in any list juice is horrible
                                                    Baltimore Orioles -104 right now for Sunday night baseball. Lowest line if you like them in AZ. Like I said...shop around. Great rewards system. Not a lot of bonuses. Up there with the best first time deposit bonuses. Each shop has their pros and cons. Def worth having money in there as an out though.

                                                        Barstool would be better/have more options than Wynn for live betting but worse prices. Barstool also would have a better up time for live markets with a slower countdown clock to confirm bets.

                                                          Barstool already limited me to next to nothing.

                                                          Wynn should be in my state at some point soon.
