As you may have noticed, the forum was offline for a period. We identified a security incident to Sportsbook Review Forum and took the site offline as a containment step while we investigated.
We wanted to make sure the system and site were restored and secured before bringing things back online and you will see that we are requiring all forum users to reset their password as a precautionary step.
If you have any questions, our moderators are around and happy to help where they can.
Many bookies north of the border have been drilled over the years and some have never recovered.

Canadians do their homework more and much more prepared than American bettors. Also less compulsive gamblers in Canada.

Might have to do with the educational system there also.

considering the entire population of Canada is about 10% of the population of the United States noting that not all people bet, maybe the amount of bad bettors is exponentially represented en force leading to your conclusion.

If the pool is larger there is going to be a larger shallow end.

Indeed.
We have our share of both up here. However, it's a much smaller pool of people that bet on sports up here as there are way less pro teams to follow locally and far less emphasis on following college sports. Most bettors from up here is seeking out the games rather than getting drawn in by local action.

A lot of the sharpest posters, past and present, have been Canadian. I think it's because Canadians are a big more risk-averse. For example, it didn't take long for me to get my azz kicked at blackjack before I picked up a book on card counting. Maybe Americans are lazy? Or they truly just bet for the action? I don't know.

Very true, also they are generally more open minded, less controversial, have a broader knowledge of the world, better at hockey, better at sex and better looking.

Why do Canadian leaders come to America when they're sick and want their lives saved? Pwned.

Americans continue to show the lack of discipline when it comes to gambling. We simply cannot control it like the Canadians. I think something in the blood and or environment.

Where did you hear this? Fox News?
Get your facts straight before you post. "Leader"? This guy is the Premier of Newfoundland, this guy is not a "leader" of Canada (no offense to Newfoundlanders). Second, this tool was given the option to have the surgery performed at 4 locations across Canada, yet chose to go to the US to get it done. He took a ton of heat for his bizarre move.
But keep listening to Fox News, aside from it being the propaganda machine of the Republican party, they're a half decent news station.

I take offense to that- My BS Lunch money wagers thread aside other people have been around too
and your right, Canadians are some of the sharpest players around.As are players from the Taiwan and St Petersburg and Israel
Some of the squarest are from the UK,Vietnam and Japan
Americans tend to start square than get just enough knowledge to be even more dangerous to themselves i.e. JJ,Whalewager,Fezzick,ace ace,Brock
