To anyone reading this thread: I have been betting offshore for very many years and I would consider Royal to be one of the top books around, as in, the same as Pinnacle, Canbet, Bowmans, Olympic, Rio, etc. They have to be in business well over 5 years and they are consistently on sportsbookreview. If you want a solid list use sportsbookreview - has a recommended book ever turned thief? I don't recall so.
Actually, I consider people questioning Royal similar to the people who used to rip Bowmans all of last year. If you want a safe book try going with one that has been around for a long time. Royal was one of the first I can remember.
I don't see MVP bets going under either.
