I just don’t see it being sustainable when people can deposit money direct from their account into an app with live odds etc why you would need a bookie.
I think there’s some market for underground casino type stuff and the biggest one I think is machines. Poker machines, slots etc, that type of stuff is usually less lenient on the legal front and gamblers lap that shit up. Virtual dogs and horses machines would you believe would rake it in lol As someone who enjoys betting on sports (responsibly), there is something nice about the bookie and being able to bet on credit. However, its really hard to beat the convenience of some of these apps. Plus, most of them have slightly more favorable odds than bookies. I wasn’t aware you get better odds online but those companies hire the nerds to do all the calculating so they’re hard to beat in terms of analyzing the odds. I actually thought the benefit a bookie might have would be taking the risk to offer better/be more flexible with odds. Regarding credit, I thought the credit would be an unresponsible gamblers preference not a responsible ones!  Yes I believe overall the odds are slightly better on the apps, but i was more speaking to they offer daily specials where they boost the odds on certain games or parlays immensely. Most times, it's kind of a suckers bet, but still fun. Point is that those apps allow you to basically bet on any kind of prop that most bookies wouldn't have. There are certainly pros and cons to each. No doubt. I’ve had buddies with addictions betting on women’s basketball in Eastern Europe at 3am. It opens you up to bet on anything lol

If I place a bet on something I'd much rather just pick up the phone and make a quick phone call. I do not mess with giving private information out via apps on smartphones when dealing with my money. I never ever provide information on a computer either. Have you ever bought something online using a credit card?

If something is purchased online it's done another way.
