    It was a very very tiny book

    Eventually you’re just gonna see about 5-7 total books in the United States

    Too much overcrowding

    The issue is these books realizing no money in sportsbetting after all the fees and battling for players

    Fandual, Draftkings, Caesars and MGM take 80% of wagers usa

    Score was ok. They had a good first deposit bonus, a risk free bet plus 100% cash with a 20x roll.

    App only, no website, is really dumb. Been betting on computer since 2005. Really don't want to fumble with my phone.

    Sad to see them go, but oh well, better books out there.

    App only is great if you're trying to be a rec-only book. Any serious player is using a computer and not betting on their phone much/at all

    Dude, come on, that's just silly. My setup in front of me is 4 ipads and a phone. Much better than toggling on a big computer screen or even multiple screens. Use my computer for this, odds screen, etc.

    The majority of these books are not that unique they’re all basically the same meaning if you have had a couple you’ve had them all

    I'll use the smart phone in a pinch if need be, but 90 percent of my business is via the laptop.

    Your laptop might work a lot better if you re-image it (reinstall the operating system).

    I bought one for my wife from Verizon a year and half ago, Christmas.
    She loves it.
    I tool around with it sometimes when she's not on it, they are very nice.
    Thing is, I'm attached to my bigger screen Lenovo.

    Everyone has their preferences, but I've been in love with Lenovo forever.
    Best bang for your buck, no machine is flawless, but the couple of problems I've had with my Lenovo's amount to pretty much a hiccup.

    I love my Panasonic Toughbook Laptops, but since legalization in the USA, I do all of my betting on Ipads and Ipad pros. I use my latops to watch DonBest and also log into offshore sites as needed to see their lines, because these days DB is not always accurate, or the lines don't even show during live betting for some sites.

    Everyone hating on the app probably never used it. It was great and one of the only apps I ever used that never glitched or was painful to navigate and function. No constant re-geo locating, freezing, making you login every 5 minutes..

    All the others (even their websites) suck. Maybe fanduel app is the only one that is similarly smooth. DK, mgm, caesars, barstool, rivers, unibet..could go on..all suck

    They limited me after I went on hot streak there late 2020. Basically became pointless to fund account

    Hate all apps. Not enough info on screen at once for me.

    Also, how do you compare odds across your books on phone apps... unless you have a photographic memory for the odds as you go from one book to the next.

    Rookies only use phones ;-)

    DonBest

    3 Ipads
    2 desktops
    1 laptop
    1-2 phones

    The top 5-6 apps use in Vegas are all on the DB screen, as far as offshore outs used, only a couple/three not on DB, as far as outs not in Nevada in the USA, DraftKings and FD are basically the only two use.............have 4 credit outs, 3 of the four are on the DB screen.

    I do understand many different types of odds are not on the screen(props, futures, etc., etc.) but they can rather easily be compared if one has many devices.

    I have 4 screens on my desk. And my phone usually with Sofascore on it. My eyesight is fading, my typing skills are deteriorating and my fingers are getting fatter. Maybe I am just turning into my father early and can't stand change anymore

    They work terrific

    As for desktops, bought two rather inexpensive HP's all in one's about 6 years ago and they both work absolutely beautifully for what I do here in the office.
