Its Been About A Year Now And Whats Really Changed?

I don't know the exact date and hell, I don't even know the exact name of the bill that was supposed to doom offshore wagering. I think it was "port security" or some-such. I do know this: for me personally, I don't screw around with any c rated books anymore, but the B+ and up books are just as strong as they ever were. I have personally had no problems depositing at any of our sponsors that start with a "b." I've received decent sized payouts from same group of above mentioned books starting with a "b." Add to that list an A+ rated book that starts with a "W", and a " B+" rated book that starts with "I"(thanks to huscroft), both located in antigua, that have been very easy to deposit with and had fast payouts, especially the b+ rated book that has a great debit card program.

I don't feel like doing a search, but I do remember that it looked pretty bleak for a while, and many posters were certain that the "sky was falling."

I also remember that" Jack and Judge were schills for online gaming interests"
because they both had fairly positive outlooks about the future of our favorite pastime. Well, about a year later, though things aren't the same, doesn't it really look like Jack and Judge were pretty right on target.........
the sky hasn't fallen, and most of us have missed very little action. Not to mention, I haven't read one post about anyone being stiffed by any cappersmall's sponsors.

I'm pumped about the football wagering season and extremely excited about not having to deal with the local bookie and the limited options they offer.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced anything much different in the last year.........

God Bless the mall,
robert

no processor to easily move money from one to another

no pinnacle

good point! Netteller and pinny are gone for most of us, but I have had no problem doing book to book transfers, or just depositing money into a different book with more favorable line. Granted, it used to easier, but how often does that really come in to play? Also, I think you are probably a little more of a "sharp" than 99% of us recreational players.(and I mean that as a compliment!)

pinnacle wasnt as sharp as you guys think

CRIS still put out the openers but when Pinny tried to put them out first they got beat

pinnacle did create an efficient market, or close to it, so you would save some on juice.

IMO a true efficient market is an exchange. You can find that still and in the very trusted WSEX umbrellla (Matchbook)

Pinnacle was a good book but bad for the industry. The loss of Pinnacle does not hurt the average rec player although many will deny being recreational like it’s the same as calling you a bad name. Neteller was a convenience but I find myself to be much more disciplined now. That is a good thing.
