It might because im a novice bettor but that instant access i have with offshore, made for stupid bets I regret. It seems to me that when using an offshore account, you start thinking of ur money as a digital number...not actual currency. Play money if u will. Also, offshore books swear the money is theirs once you deposit....and its not.
I also compare a 'ticket' bookie with the 'settle once a week' kind. My friend says he findself making chase bets so he owes less.
What do u all think?
