Is this good for me having more options as to where to play? I'm not really happy it about as I do almost all betting offshore.
Will some of my books ban my account now? I can play just about anywhere right now.
Jan 31 three books ready to roll out at 3 casinos. Heard maybe ten or more coming soon if granted licenses?

I really doubt I'll be using the state books often. I just think offshore has much more to offer. I am looking forward to taking advantage of any first deposit offers from the locals though. Being paid before leaving casino is nice too.

Have some off-shore books actually banned punters when their state becomes legalized????
Wow. If that's the case, I'm kinda hoping Texas continues to hold out on legalized gamblng.

You don’t have to worry about Texas. We’ll be the last holdout other than Utah

I think it's definitely a factor when an offshore book decides to ban players in certain states. I mean books ban a lot of countries and many states for different reasons. I just think legality in some states scares away some offshores. Just my opinion.

Attack them early and hard before they get their bearing. Also, if you have a decent BR and have been in the business a while, read their house rules several times very carefully. Some of them have made mistakes that have been exploited for lots of $$.

One simple example: one book offered the bettor an option to 'self exclude' from gambling which essentially closes down their account. Turns out they messed up how this worked and if you did this with pending bets, they were all cancelled. So bet 20k on big favorites every day until one seems to finally be losing and then self-exclude. Some might call this a scam but there you have it.

Another more complicated example is how they handle props. Someone made a lot of money betting Aaron Judge under 1 HR props on days where Aaron Judge was unlikely or officially OUT of the lineup. Now most places would cancel player props if the player didnt START the game. But one place said they only need the player to enter the game for the bet to have action. So, Under 1 HR at like -400 is a fantastic bet because if Judge doesn't start then he will only come to pinch hit once (or better, pinch run or defensive sub). The fair price on Judge not hitting a HR in games where he doesn't start is probably closer to -2500.

Your dreams could come true.

Yes I should be happy I guess as more options should be desirable. I'm just a paranoid SOB though when it comes to government regulated businesses.
Don’t get too caught up in the government regulated stuff. There are ways around anything and everything in life. It’s how you maneuver in life. I hear you though. The IRS fucked me hard a few years ago.
