    Out of the US books, which do you feel has the sharpest numbers?

    Some take higher limits than others. Some are quicker to limit players.

    But out of all you’ve seen, whose numbers are the most respected?

    Caesars. Not always, but they certainly can be. Over time, they've been the toughest for me to beat out of FD, DK, MGM, PB, Kambi.

    Circa the leader in the United States, everybody copies them

    Places like rivers and numerous books run by Khambi are European run generic wide lines

    FanDuel makes their own numbers

    DraftKings do not know

    Interesting to hear that. I tried the casino on Caesars with a promo. Wasn’t impressed with the 8/5 video poker so I figured the sports book wouldn’t be much better. I keep getting emailed promos so might give it another try sometime.

    Can't quite put my finger on it, but Caesars is not easy to beat.

    For others commenting on Circa, that could be also, haven't used them yet but they should be IL soon. Looking forward to that.

    I got banned at Caesars when I used to live in Vegas. They never let me back in the total amount for a two month I lost $500 and never allowed to play there again it’s a punk book


    They said I’m on a restricted list and cannot play there anymore. You wonder why most of these books don’t make any money

    All I was doing was betting $2000 on baseball and of course betting the other side on a 10 cent arb at pinnacle

    Have to agree with all I’ve heard about Circa, JJ. Has looked like a class operation with sharp numbers and big limits. No bans or limiting from anything I’ve seen. Wish they were in more states but the licensing and inroads are costly in some parts.

    And if you could do it again I bet you never would have made those Pinny bets.

    Highest limits and virtually zero backoffs or heat. Answer should be obvious.

    Nope. Any place limiting that much has no faith in their numbers or oddsmakers.

    They just make juice from hamburgers betting big on the wrong sides.

    That’s funny. I have a very similar opinion of Caesars.

    Yes it seems FanDuel will juice certain sides more to -115 and such. Those are usually the sides I want to bet, too.

    Caesars and Fanduel. They're also the slowest to limit and still will give you an ok limit even after they do.

    Obv not including Circa in this.

    And as a note, Caesars in Vegas is different than Caesars in the rest of the country. That may have changed recently, but for a long time they were different odds/apps.

    Good luck. Bet Rivers limits pretty quickly. I have not been limited by DK, but I am down there.

    I can't recall many posts about Draftkings limiting "normal" bettors.

    Most reports of it seem to come from known serious players.

    So I think their player management is probably reasonably accurate at least.

    Yeah probably, definitely not as ridiculous as MGM.

    Even with limits, I can still get decent volume as DK. Not nearly as good as FD, but not embarrassingly bad. Worth a roster spot. And they keep giving rewards despite the winning.
