I only have one book to compare and that is William Hill (Delaware) vs one offshore book for little players.... But I compared it over 3 different occasions. One for baseball season (Wold Series) NBA and College championships and late season NFL playoffs. In each of these 3 , the one offshore book had lines more favorable to the player. Is this true at most casinos or just William Hill? Or was it just the luck of the draw for 3 times?

William Hill is probably the squarest book out there. Their lines are pretty fair though, they offer -105 on bases and -110 on everything else, even the small market stuff. Some books here do offer reduced juice on other sports, but -105 on bases and -110 on everything else is pretty much the standard.

As far as future betting goes, offshore is better. They are sucker bets in Nevada IMO, the majority of the time.

I only play money lines . In last years World Series between Boston and LA, the lines Wm Hill offered in Delaware were NOT -105.. In other words not 5 cent straddle, but Much wider.

It depends with FUTURES, most of the time OFFSHORE though.

Shopping pays off though if one has many USA based shops to shop, as at times a USA based shop will have the best offer

it could be legal books opening up having to pay higher taxes and rent won't be able to offer lower juice options. points bet in nj offers reduced juice options. I think you might see more reduced juice type shops offshore, they may have to start offering that to entice players to stay there.

For series plays its -110 but single game they are -105 at least in Nevada, sucks if that's not the case in delaware. I can get -104 at one of my books in Nevada for bases.

As wonderful as it is that all states now have the right to have sports betting offered, nothing will rival Nevada Vegas when the dust settles. I think the figures that showed NJ having a higher handle than Nv for a month has to be that New York isn't running
