I feel bad but I switched from a traditional PPH hosted offshore (private link with my agent's code as my login) where I place the bet online and settle up with cash every Tuesday.... I switched from this to FanDuel this year. I really don't bet that much, less than 5 times per season for MLB, NCAA Basketball, and NFL - but the allure of being able to play those insane 20 leg lottery parlays, plus the ease of live/prop betting with FD - was too much to turn down. I'll use my "guy" still to place straight bets here and there, I am loyal to a fault and feel bad leaving - but I do have a FD account and have been using that. I'll throw like $20 on a crazy parlay once a week and commiserate on missing 1 leg of a 7 leg ,
Always thought sports should be legal but at the same time, I absolutely hate how it's being beat over everyone's heads and shoved down everyone's throats now. Also, the prolific rise of the Corporate sportsbooks have led to a new cottage industry of shills, touts, and scammers online. So many young kids think its easy to hit a crazy prop or parlay and they're going to get rich quick. I've seen it happen to people in my personal life who never knew shit about betting - all of a sudden they're betting every single night, talking about betting with "units" now when they didn't know what a round robin was a year ago, etc. - I haven't seen one person who never smoked pot all of a sudden become a pothead with the legalization of MJ, but I have seen like a half dozen people in my life turn into total degenerates because of FanDuel and DraftKings.
