The model will remain the same and there is nothing but growth ahead for many involved in the industry...including The RX.

You understand the offshore is not getting any state sponsored licenses.

businesses that should have changed their model:

ToysRUs
Blockbuster
Kodak
mypace


I’ll be posting brick and mortar threads in the offshore in the meantime.


Most here stopped posting up years ago and the only ones left at PPH will be broke gamblers who can’t pay.


This is Therx’s chance as many new gamblers will be coming looking for insight in the weeks to come as places will be up.
At least look to best avenues for growth as this market is going to boom.

Guys....stop & think for a second

What makes you think the owners of TheRx, SBR, and other forums dont already have plans for a new site(s) that caters to U.S. sports books only?

Why would you have to lump them together in one place?

I'm not saying they already have plans for such, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I'm beginning to lean to the opinion of BAS and others that believe this will be PLUS for offshore sportsbooks within the United States.

For now the offshore books aren't going anywhere......but by 2023 to 2025, over 35 states in america will.have legalized sports books with mobile apps, everything will be online within 5 years IMO.....also, the east coast will eventually have the NFL contests like the Hilton/Westgate in Vegas, NJ will definitely have those contest, & so will other states......you will have live game in betting. IMO, by 2023-2025, the smaller offshore books will have shut down, Pinnacle & Bookmaker will still be around, buy my thoughts are they better figure out a way to get money deposited & withdrawal easier & for bigger amounts.

Hypothetically speaking, what if here in america the govt passes a law that states you could be prosecuted if caught transferring money to an offshore book? I don't think it will come to that, but who knows.

Also, when America legalizes something, the rest of the world usually follows their path......gay marriage, weed, etc.......

A forum for american sports betting is gonna be big..........

uber is a plus for taxis
air bnb is a plus for hotels
Amazon is a plus for brick and mortar retail

With it's heavy emphasis on alienating new and old posters alike, lack of any kind of coherent moderation on the boards and mainly ultra right wing white power trump humping facist posters, I don't see the Rx surviving much longer

how are local bookies doing in Nevada??


When I was in Vegas for several months back years ago, I met a few guys that bet with locals, & it had me scratching my head, I couldn't understand with all the sports books in Vegas, why anyone would play with a local.

They told me no taxes on winnings, & they love playing on credit.......I just thought they didn't have the money to wager, so credit with a local was the way to go.

But that's not always the case, some guys are working & don't have time to run to a casino......but mobile apps should take care of that, but local bookies IMO, for the next 5 years should be Ok, they might lose 30% or a bit more of their clientele, but the bigger ones will survive.

You will be getting back a Neteller type of business back in the mix. Might even be Neteller itself. They never went anywhere, they just stopped taking U.S business.

Because many players understand the advantage of having as many OUTS as possible, and of course, as you stated, playing on credit is also many enjoy the luxury of.......................

As Drew said the Model will stay the same, but that doesn't mean we won't be taking in Banners from Brick and Mortar Casino's in the future.
maybe in the very near future.

Also doing reviews of those casinos, reporting on Blackjack odds, Slot machines, Video Poker, etc

I could see a wide range of new information coming to All Forums

and not to toot my own horn .... But it was my idea 2 or 3 years ago to put up a twinspires Banner here at The RX to try to bring in extra revenue.

Excellent


Right. and if anyone thinks there won't be a bunch of Local's hanging out at these New Sportsbooks looking for customers, they are nuts
not saying they will be taking business away from the Casino's.
But if you put the option of Credit in a gamblers face, he's going to take the bait.

On Fox business news, a lady from a company called Sports Radar stated that offshore books take in about $200 billion in bets from Americans, wowsers!

That's really high, can that number be right?

Think about the generous amount of USA citizens that place over $1,000,000 in wagers over the course of a year offshore......
