Yes you are crazy. They are very safe, but nothing is 100% safe and not near as safe as banks.

Yep, I'm afraid you are. LOL.
While I think your money is quite safe in those books, to compare them to a bank that is backed by the full faith and support of the US Gov is a stretch. JMHO.

I don't worry about it, but I wouldn't keep a a hundred grand or something like that. But day in and day out its not something I give a second thought to.

In your opening thread you said OLY and PINNY were and I quote "I feel whatever postup I have in these books is as safe as money being in a BANK?

So which is it?

You have me confused on your thinking.

A bank has the FDIC, sportsbooks have their word so to speak. I think I'll choose the FDIC.

Not a fan of banks by any stretch of the imagination, but will side with them because of this.

I personally feel very safe at any of those you mentioned BUT what does make me uneasy is the fact that some of these sportsbook owners are huge gamblers themselves.
