    Not much need for internet sportsbooks anymore it seems.


    The only hope for internet sportsbooks is that with legalized betting maybe that will get more people into sports betting and thus new blood to offshore

      Not sure if the prizes get lowered, but this could easily be the last year of BTP as we know it now.


      Maybe legalized sports betting will actually make it easier to send cash offshore

          Why would bettors suddenly stop wanting to discuss sports & wagering amongst each other

              this, too.

              Online Sports Books are different from message boards about sports books

                    due to perceived legality

                        as soon as sportsbooks are legal, there goes the affiliate money sbr makes from offshore books


                        how can it be made any more clearer??????

                            I don’t think you understand how big the top sports books are at SBR it is absolutely staggering and a lot of it is not USA


                            The pool they have from all over the globe is just too hard to compete with where legal US shops only have one state

                            Sites like sbr only going to get bigger not smaller

                            They are not worried about a couple hundred people from each state not playing there anymore my God you guys are real Rookies

                                  Offshore sports books would love to get rid of small accounts that’s not where the money is , plus these clowns looking for $100 withdrawals it takes up too much time and fees .

                                  Places like bookmaker make more money than major companies on the stock market and it’s not from $20 bettors at sbr


                                  Get rid of the ants

                                    Because:

                                    1. Offshore isnt going anywhere for several reasons such as many states won't legalize or take forever to do so, the deals will be better offshore, etc.
                                    Even Legal 'experts' have pointed this out.

                                    2. Who's to say that SBR won't create an identical forum which includes Legal books as sponsors in the future?

                                      I just laugh at these guys are jealous because that’s all it is

                                      Playerstalk can have zero posts a day and it has no impact that’s not where the value is

                                      Millions of people each year all over the world Google search sportsbook and look at the ratings and never ever sign up for SBR forum

                                        If you are insinuating sbr will not be hurt by legalizing gambling in the states you are clueless

                                            I lived in Vegas for two years and in the beginning I was like a little kid playing at the apps and I realize I’m a sucker plus every time your empty you have to go to the sports book to deposit and withdraw very inconvenient

                                            End of story most of my plays were offshore when in Vegas as are many others end of thread

                                                    1 quick question

                                                    why did you leave here after the disagreement, go to eog, and come back here after you apologized to lou?

                                                          exactly bro

                                                          ive been here through it all

                                                          i do not want this place gone

                                                          but it probably will be a shell of itself in 5 years, hopefully i am wrong

                                                                My posts/threads go back many years saying that Legalized sports betting was coming.

                                                                Several posters always laughed & said it would never happen.

                                                                Now many of the same guys & types of posters are saying that forums will become extinct.

                                                                      Only a few states are offering legal betting so far.

                                                                      Some will never even get around to it.

                                                                      The bettors in states that dont offer it will still play.

                                                                      Also consider that legalization brings the hobby into the spotlight.

                                                                      With that comes new players.
