Interesting that no employee is willing to refute.

Yes I think volume offshore might still be ok but it is much higher % of sharp bettors than the legal.

Offshore gambling is done. The offshore illegal operators are and have lost the Battle. And rightfully so. They robbed ppl long enough. It was a ride that included a lot of robbery.

I just went to a Draft Kings sportsbook in WV a few weeks ago and a 2 team 7 point teaser was -150 and a 2 team 6 pointer was -130. As long as people have a clue offshore isn't dead.

Also compared live odds with Bookmaker. At one point FD had Buffalo at -1200 while at the same time BM had them at -669.

Yeah, brick and mortar books that you can drive to in 20 minutes may be way more convenient but your best value on wagers will still be off shore.

When sports books in the US give players better odds on props and exotics, off shore betting will be just fine.

Like I always say though, spend your money wisely when playing off shore, only play at the proven, reputable off shore joints or you will be taken.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Record volumes were recorded this past weekend for legal U.S. online gaming and sports betting. This signals U.S. consumers favor the regulated U.S. industry and are turning away from the illegal, unprotected, offshore bookie businesses of the past. It also means revenues that were once channelled to the illegal market, are now staying in the communities where these bettors live.

I have mobile accounts at Will Hill in Rhode island and Draftkings in New Hampshire. Neither can hold a candle to the prices I get from my Cris account. Not to mention the great options for props and team totals. I just took a nice Bitcoin payout that took no time at all to go thru......totally seamless. The brick and mortars are totally preying on the people that don't know any better.

Small sample size.

There are opportunities in the stateside books.

I didn't even know DK offered teasers, but they do offer a full set of alternate lines that you can parlay. Sometimes these are better than the best teaser odds.

Biggest concern is whether some or all of these books will severely limit or ban sharp bettors.
