    Sports Gambling in Michigan

    It's getting closer, and I will 100% be done w/ offshore. I'm going to continue supporting this site, but once we're good to go here, I won't place another wager online.

    The casino is fun, but for the anti social crowd, wagering will be allowed online. So, you tell me, why bet offshore if you'll be allowed to do it online through a local casino?

    Make sure MI has reasonable juice before you totally abandon offshore wagering

    I’m guessing offshore might have better bonus and lines

    plus fees to deposit

    illegal for banks

    plus fees to withdraw

    extra time, rollover requirements

    no law providing they have to pay if you win

    etc etc etc


    so if i wanna fukkin pound red sox at -115 instead of -110, yes ill just go ahead and do that

    only guys that will stay offshore are guys that will come in laughing at that, which means only sharps or as i like to call them, PENNY PUSHERS

    that money will dry up QUICK

    All good points

    but ... if they can't offer 10 cent lines then it makes it impossible

    Juice will strangle you if you are a volume bettor who is actually trying to make $. You should see what triggers CTR's as well. Way too early to give up on offshore.

    like I said there will be approx 75% retention rate with offshore players

    Players are going to see legal places cannot compete with low cost offshore places and stay with them and probably still have a legal place which is fine

    Every regular bettor in Vegas I knew played offshore also

    Offshore needs to reduce/eliminate the rollover requirements if they want to entice people with their bonuses. If you're a volume bettor I get it, but if you're just a casual bettor or one that only bets on certain games/events, it's worthless to you to have your deposit tied up.

    It also wouldn't shock me if eventually the legal books in a casino simply offer juice that's at or slightly above break even just to get bodies into the casino and hope you'll drop your sports winnings in a slot machine or Blackjack table as you're leaving.

    Detroit will have good lines, probably -105 to -110, with 3 casinos within a mile of each other all competing for business. They have different bad beat jackpots for poker and various players perks to compete right now. And I doubt they’ll all 3 use William Hill lines.

    And when I bet lines change at least 50% of the time, and you get jerked around on payouts. There are fees if you don't want to do BTC on everything. They'll deny your BTC payouts if you deposit with anything other than BTC.

    When you're winning they really pay attention to you. When you're losing, you're just an ATM. Deposit anyway you want, but you can only get this form of payout, for this much money, and oh yeah there is a fee. Also, it could take up to 48 hours before we get to your payout. Fukkin blow me.

    Do this verification form for the 5th time this year and blah, blah, blah.

    never sweated an online payout or been stiffed in 15 yrs

    only had verification 1 time...but i do not take bonuses or use CC..ever

    and the casinos are also paying attention if u win as well considering 1k bet needs approval so far and limits are based on ur past wagers..and so is the tax man

    im sure some will choose 1 or other for various reasons, i just cant find a single reason I would go to my state casino over online and but many many to reasons stay offshore

    just personal prefrences

    I tried to use a different book than 5D today, it was BM. I was going to do a CC deposit, and I'm not allowed to do that because of a payout issue from another book... A payout issue, how is that my fault?

    If there is no MMA, I'll have to still use an offshore book, but that'll be all I use it for and I'll be pretty upset lol

    Why go out and then drive to a legal casino to bet sports when you can get all your bets in online? Can also search books online for best odds.. I'll never give up online sports gambling even if a Casino opened up right next door to me...

    The only advantage I see to betting in a land Casino is that you get your payout and winnings right after the game in hard cash..
