The end of online gambling is near

vanzack, you buying this? 

Here's a crazy thought for you....

Not everyone fits in to your "get a bet down no matter the cost" model.

Just understand that there are those that look for different things than you.

I have nothing to go on to make a judgement.

It seems as likely to me as anything else.  But who knows.

Im just glad this Copa America tournament is over.

No the key is he said sometimes someone has enough money and doesnt wanna deal with the hassle and risk anymore. There are certain people out there who will stop at a number and say enough i'm done dealing with all this. There are other people who will never have enough money no matter the risk. The books that are left fit into that category.

The fact is all of these places will last as long as they want to last, there are certain places the government will not be able touch, however by making it harder for them to do day to day business they will just waive the white flag and abandon those of us from the U.S that have been loyal customers.

Also to answer some of the questions that Vanzack has been receiving about setting up shop in another country. It is very easy to make your web activity appear from another country, the key is to make where your web activity is from as close as possible to where you say you reside. If you start accessing sites from a web presence in vancouver and your main location is in toronto eventually they will catch on and close your account and most likely keep your money. You also have to be aware that you cant use a roaming web presence. You wanna be able to be in the same location at all times. To find a good service like this is not free, to get everything needed to be able to withdraw from a book and deposit is not exactly cheap. it can be done, this is fact. You just have to ask yourself a couple basic questions, Am i willing to go through all this? Will my profit margin be enough to cover these extra costs? For the majority of you the answer is no to one of these.

If you actually expect to make 5 or 6 figures it can be done and it is worth your while. Just be smart with the winnings and use common sense.

Jesus Christ. I come back from summer gambling vacation to a house of ruins...

They are ALL done or at the least VERY high risk for a year or longer.

Van, no MLB? none ... nothing ... all year ... ?

No MLB.  Zero.

pretty good my friend.

thanks for doing what you do. i've learned a lot. it's people like you that make covers the best website in the world for males between the ages of 20 and 100.

Thanks.  Very nice.

bodog still works 

Bodog will be a holdout til the end.

I dont know why anyone would bet a penny there, but Calvin Ayre's ego and personal vendetta against the US DOJ wont allow him to shut down until he is forced to.

awesome!  I just have always used them, and deposits always work. I have less than $500 online anyways, so it wouldn't be the end of the world. 

I dont think 5dimes or bookmaker will shutdown during this coming football season.  They will be around for action.

Click on Covers Top 10 Sportsbook list (recommendations for US players).

First off, there are only 9, and secondly - one of the nine is BetJamaica who no longer exists.

Round out the list with about a half dozen other books that nobody has ever heard of or would want to play at, and you have a good snapshot of the world off offshore sports betting these days.

Imagine if it was your job to put together a top 10 list of sportsbooks for Americans?  Its like trying to put together a top 10 list of honest politicians, maybe you can get one or two, but you get stuck about there.

van, how long do you think it will be like this?

vegas must be

 

Sounds like BoDog is leaving the US Market

just did a live chat.  they said they will create a new site, and transfer all balances & wagers when bodog shuts down.

what about SportsInteraction? I don't see them on Covers top 10? Anybody have any thoughts on them

 

 

5 Dimes

I believe a couple of pages back Van said that SI would never have been considered in the top #50 when books were thriving.

Hours after I post this, Bodog has made some announcement about leaving the US market.

Im not sure if they are setting up something different and not actually leaving - and to be honest I couldnt give a crap - but keep your eyes and ears open boys.   It is a mess.

Yeah Van, pretty ironic I just asked u about them yesterday haha.

Hey Van,

I have read alot of pages on this thread and your feedback has been great. I still have an account at sportsbetting.com and my question is should I pull out or keep my money in there?
