What is the link between these two books?

Same software (bet receipts/confirmations etc) provider?

98-99% of odds are the same

Sincerely hope not. Chalk and cheese in their attitude to punters.

Using same software is meaningless.

Just looked at the odds for the next race. They have the same for only 1 of the 10 runners.

For sports I think you'll find most of the smaller bookies subscribe to a common source for odds, particularly non domestic.

I'd like to know where they get them from. It's these two in particular that have caught my interest. Others that have same odds are co owned but still different to everyone else.

The thing about these two is they are licensed in separate states, but they have to be linked together some how I think.

i'd be very surprised if there's any connection between them.

Check other smaller domestic bookies such as Betezy, Flemington Sportsbet, PalmerBet - wouldn't be surprised if they are quoting the same odds for sports events.

If they were associated as you suspect why wouldn't their racing odds be the same - that's the largest part of their business.
