    Local Bookmakers Are Going To Flourish In Future

    Wait until all these bigger bettors especially new to the game get 1099'sand pay a nice chunk back

    Bettors are going to seek locals so all cash and no reporting

    Pay per head and Locals here we come, it will be a slow process but a good one for the underground booking industry

    It was nice to take advantage of all the promotions, and MGM is the best of them all IMO. They give consistent free bets, consistent 100% matches on deposits. But, after the promotions run dry, its time to go back underground; no question. I've received the worse customer service EVER at another major book here in the states. I may NEVER play there. It reminded me of trying to contact the state about PUA unemployment a long time back. It was near impossible. Yeah, wise to go back to the black market if you're a winning gambler.

    I may still mess around at MGM for the long haul but also go back to the black market.

    Pretty insightful Double J.

    Offshore's gotta HODL.

    Around this neck of the woods, locals still offer the basic .20cent line; and as I remember that was the case last year with MLB.

    As far as legalization in my state it's still :"No Soup for You."

    As an afterthought, wondering what the feeling is for the Baseball bettin SBR'ers. Would they deny us many summer betting opportunities?

    WNBA and the Return of the USFL might ease the pain a little.

    USA books will be stuck with the $10 a game betters

    All real gamblers will be using offshore and locals

    how are you guys avoiding 1099's with offshore? Any type of bitcoin deals past 20k total with an exchange and you will be flagged. I'm guessing CC deposit and check withdrawals?

    I got 4 25$ free bets in a row lost all of them. Now really a loss if they are free. With that anniversary wheel they have. I have that wheel promotion but my friend says it doesn’t pop up for him. I got 2 more days to spin it.

    I only use USA books for promotions. I signed up for all of them. Only use them if I get a promotion. I notice with DraftKings if you win on one promotion then withdraw they will immediately send you another juicy promotion. Must be something with their algorithm that I noticed where their system knows you are taking their money and running but want to give you another good promotion to try and get it back from you.


    I don’t do any promotion that has a roll over. There are betmgm casino promotions with like 150x rollover that I opt into since they are free I’ve never been able to win those once. But when barstool sends me a 5x casino promotion I can easily win those. I think betmgm is the most rigged casino.

    No reason at all to use U.S.A books. I tried one the other day just to see how they are. It took them 4 days to verify my i.d. No thanks. I will stay with offshore where I can get paid in 5 minutes and not pay taxes.

    Pretty sure offshore has an end date. These mega corporation casinos and their high paid lobbyists will be constantly reminding pols how much potential tax revenue is leaking outside of U.S. borders. There wasn't a reason to crack down on offshore books before. But the gradual adoption of legalized sports betting is creating that incentive.

    I just bought shares of Boyd yesterday, and have shares of Caesars.

    They're going to roll, I mean, roll in the dough.
