Would you ditch offshore if Vegas casinos went online?

[daggerkobe]

[rm18]

probably not, always be a better number or different betting option online, but i would feel safer with vegas and bet there all things equal

[MonkeyF0cker]

I live in Vegas and still use offshore accounts. You have to if you want the best numbers.

[john pavlic]

Has there ever been anyone not paid by a vegas book? I would love it! Too many times have people gotten screwed over becasue they know they are offshore, and there is nothing you can do to them.

[Scratch]

i'd switch. at least i would feel like there's recourse for action in a dispute. but aren't there only a couple of vegas casinos that offer sports wagering?

[fiveteamer]

of course not, people love waiting 4.5 months for a payout.

Couple?

There's like 80+ books in Vegas. Even the most downtrodden casinos have em.

you have a much better chance with sbr and offshore books with a dispute than you would in that case.

look at what often happens with disputes with euro books. there was one here with betfair recently, their response "too bad".

You've obviously never been to Vegas.


I would go soon if I were you. Its A LOT of fun.

[ico2525]

LOL haha that's great. Nearly every major casino has a book. I'd say there are somewhere near 100 regulated sports books in the Las Vegas area.

[Scratch]

nope never been. would like to but don't have the money or too much time right now. i didn't know that many casinos had sportsbooks. guess i picked up bad info somewhere.

[RogueJuror]

the majority would, they don't care about prices, the pros long abandoned Vegas for 95% of their turnover

[jjgold]

I would have one Vegas and one offshore

[topcat]

i would still play with your bookmakers,5dimes,and olympics of the world .i would like to see gambling become legal,before i die.books like the mgm,and luxar would be straight,and honest as a arrow.there would not be any esbs,or cascades of the world.iam proud to say iam a christian,but the holy rollers in the united states have to much of a hold on our politicians.not trying to start any trouble,just stating a fact.

The chances of this happening are very slim. I don't know if you are familiar with who runs the sportsbetting operations that operate in the US now, but I assure you it is not the Boy Scouts. Their 'lobbying' power alone will nix nationwide sportsbetting for years to come.

Not to mention the NFL, MLB, NCAA, NBA and NHL are opposed to it. Little do they know that they would be more legitimate if they allowed sportsbetting, plus they could tax it, and incidents like Tim Donaghy would not happen because the sportsbook would be wise to it and report betting irregularities to the leagues.

Keep dreaming boys, and keep filling out those green western union/** forms -- you will be doing it for years to come.

[InTheHole]

I'm with some solid offshore books and don't like taxes. Maybe if the lines were better lol

[onlooker]

No.

the only way it becomes legal, is if they (congressmen) sell it as a way to increase revenue (taxes). even dude 2 posts up casually says "plus they could tax it" like its no big deal.

the morality police aren't really to blame for online gambling being illegal, although they will be happy to claim it as a victory. bottom line is the government isn't getting it's cut.

so i say a big fuk u to the government, regulation and freedom just don't mix.

[topcat]

john kyle started this crap,and jackass bill frist finished it.warner of virginia told them to take it out of the military deal,and they did,so bill attached it on the port bill.i think that is how it went down.the dems had to sighn it,if they didnt,they would have been called unpatriot.you are right about it becoming legal if the government could tax it.gambling is looked dowm on as a sin,and to me it is no different than trading on the stock market.thats the reason why i brought up the holy rollers. i wish we were like england.

The casino lobbies here in Vegas are actually accepting of legalized internet gaming. The major casinos already have software written to accomodate such a move and they assume that, once legalized, they will have the marketing capabilities and name recognition to dominate the markets on the net as well. They are, for the most part, not opposed to legalizing it. It will only increase their revenue.
