For those of you who have legal sportsbetting in your state, do you guys still bet on offshore books? If so, why?

ive always said legal is better
you pay out the goddamn ass in fees and have to worry about the book even existing after your bet if offshore
betpoints is "CASING POINT"Comment -
Onshore is a must, if available. No reason not to.
Offshore depends on a number of factors. And if using, stick to the best of the best these days, and there's only a handful at most.Comment -
At this point, I am done with offshore as soon as I clear this most recent rollover.
All I have left offshore that I am comfortable with are:
Heritage family

I could use bookmaker, but with no deposit bonuses or loyalty program, there is no point. Betonline bans my state.
Draftkings, Caesar, MGM and wynnbet, all great books. PayPal payment in less than than day, to my bank if I wish in another day. No more bitcoin bullshit. No worrying if one day the book will just close up and not pay me. Line shopping normally gets me a free half point on NBA sides, 5 or 6 cents on hockey, a full point on CFB totals ect.
Only thing I miss is the -105 juice at certain places.
I was a legalization skeptic up till 3 months ago. I was wrong. It's great. I can't wait to be done with offshore.Comment -
Good stuff. Yeah, a lot of people dismiss the onshore before using them. I was doubtful and had no idea how good it would be before trying it. Some of the books are hit or miss, but there is virtually never any downside to trying them out. The more the merrier. We'll see how things shake out, but so far so good.Comment -
The only advantage offshore has the juice is much tighter especially money linesComment -
It's important not to look at a line in isolation at one book. So if you use multiple books, look at the best line one on each side at all of your books and that is your synthesized line. When you do that, you will often/almost always see major reduced juice and/or pointspread differences.Comment -
Clown Brock worried about 100k payouts.Comment -
Does JJ still do offshore?Comment -
Either way you are dead if you’re counting on bonuses and a loyalty program to help you out.
sounds like a guy who knows he’s going to lose his money and wants to get a few crumbs back.
If you can’t make money off of a deposit and bets don’t play the game or play small for fun and entertainment.
Bonuses and loyalty programs are in place to benefit the bookmaker not the player.
Thats one of the ways they troll for fish.Comment -
Yep, such a square that bookmaker felt the need the take away all the player bonuses and Heritage felt the need to limit me to 50$ on most things, and lock my cash back at the lowest level.
Makes total sense.
Don't understand the love for offshore. They don't love you. They limit you, lock your money up behind absurd rollovers and rules, delay payouts.Comment -
If you bet tennis you cannot play at USA books or any other sport underdog money lines
The lines are just too wide
Some offshores -180/160 tennis
That is impossible to beat anywhere
I play at broker and I’m constantly getting the best number in the entire world
Now I know most people don’t have access to brokers you got to know right people in the right countriesComment -
I still have BOL..but mostly use HARD ROCK Seminoles in FloridaComment -
im in ny which will be legal in 4-5 months. do legal books have 2nd and 3rd leagues in soccer? Womens college basketball? Alos i have been limited by my offshore book. Those mofos!!!Comment -
Off shore is dead to me.
I live in PA-- the competition among sportsbooks is insane, and I can get the best number I want, at prices close -104.
What would offshores offer at this point?Comment -
In California, no chance to try for at least another 1-2 decades; but how are the lines compared to offshore? Are they tight and offer a wide range or shit, or just square bettor junk? And how are/if they have, the bonuses?Comment -
The huge difference is odds
Offshore much betterComment -
Offshore offers more!Comment -
what other books are in the heritage family sir? need to open some accounts up...Comment -
I thought heritage only has two books
Wagerweb is not heritage they use the same software as a provider not the same odds it’s their own companyComment -
Heritage family would be heritage and bet105.
I consider wagerweb a part, but that technically aren't. It's another book where it's not clear whats the fill extent of the relationship. From my understanding, they shared a location and CS staff, as well as software.
Onshore books are all -110, except for the -109/-112 jokers ,not as good as a -105 book. The main benefit is the line shopping. Wynnbet is -105 hockey sides, they are often 6 or so cents better on the hockey sides of want.Comment -
NFL props:
Even the square onshore books post them the night before
Wagerweb/heritage, an hour before the game starts.Comment -
Does one get a 1099 from an onshore book?Comment
