Yes, if I lived in a state, where I could physically go down to wager and cash - I would do that instantly and close out all of my offshore accounts, save maybe 5dimes as those open parlays are fun.

rm18 · 09-12-12, 07:36 PM

would use both more outs + less hassle for payouts and sending of documents etc.

Even if they dealt 20 cent lines?

Why are there bookie joints all over Britain but not here????????

I can not figure that out

MUHerd37 · 09-12-12, 07:43 PM

If it was legal in my state, the shit would be regulated and we wouldn't have to worry about books screwing us. Also, if it were legal at brick and mortar shop, it would eventually be legal to bet online like Nevada is doing.

MC PICKS · 09-12-12, 08:10 PM

Would just be more outs, i dont fukk around offshore anymore anyway.

tblues2005 · 09-12-12, 08:15 PM

I would go to the casino and make my wagers if they had it here and I would still be with the good ones like DSI and 5 Dimes and that is it. It sure would help us not get screwed by the dishonest ones for sure. It would create more jobs also in the gaming market.

When I go into the bookies I get them to put it back onto my card... fukk carrying round decent sums of cash in the hood.

So if you had it in your state you would never use offshore books again??

Not that i'm American - but i'd imagine it would have something to do with not having to pay a boatload of fees to send money to Javier Rodriguez Waldo Martinez just to get set and have to risk in some cases getting stiffed. Then if you win having to pay a boatload of fees just to get your money back.

if they were private businesses and had to compete we would be able to find better lines too, wouldn't necessarily be 20 cent lines. The libertarian running for president supports it, I think his name is gary johnson.. For example it is easy in italy

borednaz · 09-12-12, 08:59 PM

It's been stated before but it always is worth mentioning. The risk of not being paid, bounced checks, and all the hassles of sending real cash to a foreign country. Anytime I actually think about what I'm doing I sit there and feel like I must be insane.

This is the correct answer.

They're private businesses in Australia and the lines are crazy juiced for the most part. I have a sportsbook 2mins from my house and never go there.

Nothing better than betting hard cold cash and getting paid hard cold cash

Same. Less than 5 mins walk and never go in there.

jjgold · 09-13-12, 06:22 AM

I guess Vegas lines pretty good

Many places have dime lines now

Surely you can't be serious............

I would rather send my money overseas with risks instead of driving to the local casino knowing sports gambling was legal..............

Big Bear · 09-13-12, 07:52 AM

because it would help the economy and this country could sure benefit from that.

Big Bear · 09-13-12, 07:52 AM

they could also legalize marijuana and tax it like 40% and people would still buy it. This would fix our economy quick.

Big Bear · 09-13-12, 07:53 AM

Seems way easier to bet offshore

Organized better software than Vegas and much more bet offers

The biggest reason I would play legally is because I wouldn't have to go to the grocery store, send my hard earned money to Maria Conchita Alsonso in Panama, and wonder if I win, will I ever see the cash. And then if I actually do see the dough, how much of it will they vig me to take a payout?

geebert74 · 09-13-12, 10:40 AM

Casino proposed for 5 mins from my house... It is happens, I will never have a reason to go anywhere else again...

Britain is more free than America. They get to bet into 108% 1x2 soccer lines.

byronbb · 09-13-12, 10:49 AM

If it was legal to bet in the US it would be legal to do so online.

Parligod · 09-13-12, 10:59 AM

The U.S. sucks regarding anything betting/gambling related. I lost a ton from my poker accounts when they pushed out Pokerstars/Fulltilt/UB. I'd take local or live any day just to reduce risk.

There's competition online..If Vegas had even Atlantic city to compete with I'm sure they'd be on point too and offer better lines and more bets,props etc..If they had to compete with every casino in the states, forget about it, 5 cent lines would be the norm.

I messed around with BetJamaica a couple of years ago for prop bets and what not..fukin' pain in the ass.

I don't think so. This isn't what happens in the UK or elsewhere betting is legal. The B&M books have retail overhead and taxation costs to cover.

Probably so.

I was reading an article about the Parx horse racing track, with all the legalized slot machines etc that bring in tons of money for the track and race purses. It made me think that legalized gambling could pay for all taxes. Maybe not all, but a big chunk of it.
