"Offshore sportsbooks have long been a cornerstone of the sports betting world. As industry pioneers, they have set the standard for what a robust online sports betting operation should be, often leading the way while regulated sites and Vegas follow. Even today, many regulated sportsbooks and international betting sites rely on offshore lines as a benchmark before releasing their numbers.

For serious players and high rollers, betting offshore is still the preferred choice. This article will explore why offshore sportsbooks continue to dominate, focusing on the benefits they offer, such as higher betting limits, acceptance of sharp bettors and the flexibility that regulated sportsbooks tend to lack."

Why are offshore sportsbooks attractive to serious players?​

From the article above:

"Take the example of Billy Walters, one of the world’s most successful sports bettors. Walters often used a network of “runners” to place bets without drawing attention. Runners refer to individuals who place bets on behalf of another party."

--> Has anyone tried, done, or have been part of "runners"?

I have no choice living in California but to bet offshore. Even if I could bet at the US based sportsbooks most of my bets would be placed offshore because you can find better numbers at any of the A+ books versus their US based counterparts.
100% agree.
I’m in Texas so I’m screwed too and only use offshore. But I do track the big domestic books (FD/DK) and their lines are usually much worse than I can get offshore.

As a result, I’d stay offshore even if I had a casino next door.

Offshores much better overall, esp with only Hard Rock in FL available. That doesn't mean it isn't worth having the US shops if you have access. Yes, overall, game lines are much worse than offshore but there are soft spots to pick off at the DK/FDs of the world. Every time I travel to a state with those, even for a few days, I will throw a deposit in a couple of them to do so.

What about the DK/FDs and the onshore in US in general?
Do they eliminate or welcome sharp action?

Nice article!
The title "FanDuel and DraftKings Can’t Limit Players Fast Enough" is a bit confusing for me though. I expect to read sth like they can't limit players due to law or sth. Instead, it analyzes their policy which is to limit winners.
The title should be "FanDuel and DraftKings Can Limit Players Fast Enough".
Am I wrong?

Haha, my bad.

The Article title is --- > "Offshore Sportsbooks Are A Better Bet for Serious Players".


I responded to you highlighting the line based on your question. Anyway, I remove the other links to avoid confusion.
