Haven't been full time in MLB the last three years, but this year has been decent.  The two previous were not very good.  Lines moving in strange directions these days.  Volume definitely down.  I've been taking time to travel in the summer and started a couple of businesses.  So, I've been occupied by other things.

Good to hear.

I noticed starting in 2014 that MLB game lines were behaving very strangely. Not reliable... Any theories?

Pinny/M Resort bust was a big deal.  Not a ton of good outs for MLB for U.S. bettors anymore.  Shitty juice in MLB at a lot of Vegas books.  MGM deals 20 cent lines.  Caesars dealing 15 cent lines.  Many of the other outs will boot you.  Entity betting for those using runners and mobile apps allow a lot more tracking.  Some books won't take your action if you even mention entity wagering.

 

Not worth the hassle for a lot of players.

Brutal.

Seems a lot of forum veterans have mostly gone legit. 

 

Is there any hope Bitcoin will save things?

I asked Pinny if they had any plans of accepting Bitcoin a few years ago and they gave me a canned response like, "Here is our page listing our deposit/withdrawal methods."

 

I don't think Bitcoin does much of anything, honestly.  Not for American players at least.  Any legit books won't taunt the U.S. government and start accepting U.S. players again just because they take Bitcoin.  It might be easier to mask, but withdrawals will still require proof of residence.

 

The best days are definitely behind us.

Baseball is a slow painful sport to bet.

At least a recovered onside kick that leads to a hail mary burial happens within a few mins. These baseball comebacks can be agonizing. 

 

Has the US shut down any more .com sports betting domains? Would it 'dare' to do so to a .ag domain accepting americans? They haven't touched BetOnline for example, which does deal in bitcoin.

They haven't shut down any .ag domains as far as I remember.  Taking away a domain name is really just a nuisance anyway.  It doesn't really do all that much.  Can put up a new domain in minutes if you've already been issued an SSL certificate.

I'm better.  

 

Non-us sports markets continue to grow.

 

Isn't it even more difficult to find outs for non-US sports?  I have a place in CR now just to get back some of the outs I need.  Still much harder today to find non-WA numbers than it used to be.  I would think that would carry across to international markets as well.  I store numbers for non-US markets but I don't analyze them though.  So, perhaps not.

I only have a few outs, so i dunno, but the limits and offerings get better every  year at pinny/sbo.   Not looking for non-WA numbers.

But even if you can beat WA's, non-WA's can really help your ROI.  That obviously doesn't need to be explained to you, but they used to be all over Vegas.  Not so much anymore.  Between sportsbook consolidation, agents getting busted, books no longer accepting U.S. players, etc. things have gotten tighter and tighter here in recent years.  It was so much easier in years past.

 

It will be interesting to see how football lines measure up this year.  Billy Walters (and anyone associated with his companies) is banned from betting at any of the sportsbooks here due to his insider trading indictment.  Not sure if he will have a presence offshore or not, but even his team has had a couple of losing seasons in the past few years.
