If US books ever exist, do you think they'll stiff and limit like scared bitch books in Europe do?

Supposedly Pinnacle will take your action as long as the day is long.

Books like Bet365 will limit you down to betting $3.65 and so forth.



If US books ever appear, do they'll be stiffing, no-action factories like Euro bookies?

Since states will rely on experienced companies to run things, i highly doubt they will stiff ppl.

I'm sure you'll hear of random circumstancs where they claim a 'bad line' or what have you.

They better make things a good customer experience because offshore books will always be there offering their services with more than likely better deals...

William Hill will be involved in many states it appears likely, and you can count on severe limiting, banning from them................just like here in Nevada.

Hopefully there will be many more OUTS available throughout the states than just William Hill

stiff.. NO WAY...
Limit/ban.. tricky one.. i could see a division being made where State books can limit.. then allow a national class of books that Wont?? And that natuonal class of books will have to adhere to similar rules as state books, however like now.. some books CALL THEMSELVES "recreational " and some books call themselves "Professional"... this is actually the perfect scenerio for Pinny.

Keep in mind of alll the people banned or limited its 99% because of nefarious reasons NOT BECAUSE OF PICKING WINNERS.

I've heard Euro books are mostly trash. And that offshore books (despite many negatives) are more player friendly.

Honestly, I could see one of these Euro companies that is worth billions but limits you if you go on a small run and win just 5 to 10K. I'm afraid that's the kind of bookie that the US will get.

The US books won't stiff but they absolutely will limit, use ID requirements, ala KYC, to delay payment and find "bad line" excuses to cancel bets; brick and mortars will still be far superior.

Like others have said, they won't stiff but a lot of the big books are run by bean counters and publicly traded companies now so their appetite to book sharp action (or what they deem as "sharp" to be fair) is gonna be considerably less than other books. WillHill in LV is known for cutting people off very quickly, got a friend that was putting "sharp" stuff in and he didn't even win 5 figures before being cut off.

I was wondering the same thing...I agree with what others have said; probably won't stiff, but definitely have limits. It wouldn't surprise me if they don't offer parlays as well.

If they don't ban and limit then they'll have to stiff bc they'd go broke. Not all books can do what pinny does.

They will definitely limit, there is no doubt about that.

One consideration on banning people: now that they are established in a state, they're going to have to follow any applicable regulations regarding refusing service. Admittedly casinos seemingly ban players pretty easily and I can't say any states are definitely going to put consumer protections into the regulations, but there will be more sunlight. A banned player can complain to the state gaming board and their state representatives. It may not help at all, but there definitely will be more talk about this.
