    Mass, better late than never
    Massachusetts finally pulled the trigger at the last minute. (Sports Bettin)

    There's a Wynn that's been sittin and waitin for a while.

    Suppose the big guns will swoop in. (MGM, DK, ect)

    Still gonna be offshore for me, but might be interesting to have a "brick n' mortar" place nearby.

    Wouldn't wanna be there for week 1 though. (pats at mia, and the rest of the action.) Packed like sardines.

    Thought I read they get taxed (was it 15%) on their take. Even with graduating 20 cent lines, gonna be tough to turn a profit.

    Side note: New toteboards poppin up here and there with "close to live feeds..20 sec delay" and their own unique functions.

    Times a changin..............

    MGM in Springfield, MA has a nice little Sportsbook area.
    They've been waiting a long time for this moment.

      It has its plus/minus, but overall, on shore has been pretty good. Got a nice chunk of change from the new sign up bonus (thanks for the 3000 risk free Caesars). Nice to have 5 or 6 books to line shop at, could have more, dimishing returns once you get that many books.

      I was very concerned, and still am about the safety of offshore books. Not as much to worry about with on-shore ones. Hated dealing with bitcoin.

      I miss the offshore bonuses. 50% cash from wagerweb was great, the 1000 a year from heritage, the 250% freeplays from others. Five years ago, it was good. Then betonline stopped taking my state, so did Bovada, so did GTbets. No more lowvig.ag either.

      Its a mixed bag. Some of the onshore books are pretty ok though. Wynnbet often has pretty off-market lines, think a half point in NBA, 20 cents in MLB. Draftkings has pretty decent pricing on props. Betmgm was ok, but they tend to limit people very easily.

      Don't count out the onshore. Some are good outs to have.

        MGM in Springfield must be a nice place, Double G.

        Good perspective, WP

        Captian Jack at Twitter says he doesn't think things will be "up and runnin" by the season.

        We shall see, mon ami.....

            Paypal reminds me of the old neteller days(2006). Having ability to sue or complain to a regulator if no pay is a huge relief.

            They got full tilt poker. They can get the offshore books if they really want to.
