WHO IS THE BIGGEST OFFSHORE SPORTSBOOK?

[JohnnyDeMarco]

I would like to know who the BW audience thinks is the biggest (most customers & highest limits) offshore outlet.

[Value_Finder]

I think it's safe to say that WSEX will be one of the biggest books.
Aces Gold also have high limit but I don't know how many customers they have.

[reno]

Most customers is probably the NASA that hasn't paid Billy Walters. I heard that they have 250 terminals for phone clerks. Largest bets is indeterminable. I know some offshore books that will take 50 + dimes a game from certain clientele, even in baseball. Also, it depends on the sport. Obviously, limits are higher on the NFL than other sports. In baseball, at least a few books, if they need money on the side, will take 10 dimes a pop from regular players. Without being specific--because limits are protean--I would disagree with Value Finder.

[Max the Knife]

William Hill is the largest they have over 2.5 billion dollars be annually. Also has a ton of bet shops in England.

[Scott Landau]

Has to be George Wynn's Wall Street Superbook, according to Johnny's scorephone!

[playersonly]

William Hill has over 133,000 ACTIVE phone betting accounts and more than 1500 betting shops. They are the biggest hands down. Max is correct. The second biggest, Ladbrokes, only does half the business william hill does.

They all take huge limits from idiots (suckers). So you cant measure by that. The most customers? They all lie about how many cutomers they have. SBG is Big as far as Custumers and NASA, the one who didnt pay Billy Walters. Is there a reason behind the questions Mr.Demarco?

[AussieVamp2]

Centrebet has to be getting large and have lots of clients too I think..... definitely take decent sized bets.....

---------------

That plunge only made the one on Saturday worse when Adelaide were backed for bundles to beat St Kilda. One of our regular Crows clients from years gone by has suddenly resurfaced now that they've found winning form again. He plonked $27,000 on Adelaide to win at $1.80 (4/5). There was some support for St Kilda, but it looks as though most people have worked out that a good way to make money is to bet against St Kilda, and so far they have had a profitable year.



The big client who backed Adelaide did come back on Monday night with a bet of $19,000 on Collingwood at $1.90 (9/10) to cover a 211/2 spread against Fremantle. The Dockers have improved out of sight, and were never in danger of losing the game, let alone failing to get within the handicap.

BigVegas,
I have always wanted to know who is the biggest. Also, I advertise for a few offshore places and I would like to examine the advertising campaigns of the big boys.

Depending on what location we are talking about.

1.) Europe - William Hill
2.) Antigua - WWTS
3.) Costa Rica - CRIS
4.) Jamaica - Olympic
5.) Curacao - Royal Sports
6.) Dominican Republic - "I will not touch it with a ten foot poll"

[bigtimehoops]

I think UDOG hit the nail on the head,although couple of years back in Curacao believe it or not it was Paradise Casino.


Good Luck,

Big Vegas -

To answer you question: I think Johnny is a Fed and collecting information for the next swoop-dee-doo. At least that's what Scott Landau told me.

Biggest - William Hill

[JohnnyDeMarco]

JR44,
You have to be kidding right?

[Scott Landau]

Relax,JD,Junior's just ribbing me about my posting that NBA games are fixed in another thread. He thinks I see the Boogeyman everywhere like that late night radio crackpot Art Bell...unless...OF COURSE, Jimmy the FIXER...Johnny, are you the Boogeyman?

[Cons]

I watched a fixed NBA game while in the US. Only one though, in a period of 2 years. But then I didn't watch all that many games, so there could have been more. But the game I saw was as fixed as it gets.
