The end of online gambling is near

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?

Forgive me if this has already been addressed becasue I have read the entire thread, but I still don't see how this effects offshore bookmaking.  Sure they can seize some domains and post scarey offical logos on them, but they have no jurisdiction to go after legal offshore books.  And yes they can make transfering money back and forth somewhat cumbersome, but they have been doing that for years.

Evidently you don't win much, because the same thing always happens with local books.  As soon as you start winning, they start sqeezing you, and then you just don't get paid.  All of my relationships with local have ended with them owing me money.  One has owed me over $100k for 5 years.  I haven't seen a penny of it, and never will.  So in the end you can't win with a local because you will either lose and he'll love you, or you'll win and won't get paid. 

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.

It is now officially a top 8 list.

And we have debt ceilling debates while they leave an estimated 50B a year sitting on the table that nobody wants in tax revenue.

Sorry-been away from Covers for a while but did have a Greek account and they transfered me to Heritage. I haven't used them-has anyone? Are they legit?

Thanks!

I was transferred as well. They are legit. I withdrew $800 immediately and left $300 in... Fed. Ex. check took 4 days to arrive.

Website and betting options are below average but heard they will make canges and additions.

Thanks.  Very nice.

Lets examine what would happen if you won 100K offshore....

*  At a 3k limit per week per withdrawal by check (the most you can get out of most US facing books), it would take 33 weeks to get your winnings.

*  At $50 per check, it would cost you $1,650 to get your money.

*  And at 1 per week it would take about 8 months.

So 8 months, $1,650 cost to you, and 33 3k checks to deposit at your bank - 1 every week for 33 weeks.

Not too efficient.
