Best Sports Books

One of the most important things you can do to be a profitable sports bettor, is to make sure you have set up an account with a reliable sports book, or even several, to get the best line you can each time.

Since the U.S. Congress a few years ago repealed long-time foolish legislation which stayed in place solely so that the richest sports book operators in Las Vegas could monopolize the market for betting on sports, 38 states in the USA have had people vote for legalized sports betting.

Which makes perfect sense. Because, operating state-regulated, licensed, legitimate sports books creates revenue for every one of those states that didn’t have it before, and that went into the hands of someone other than the state agencies which will be distributing part of those proceeds for programs which will benefit those who live in that particular state.

Humans and gambling have a history that goes back millennia. In ancient Egypt, tombs have been excavated where artifacts of gambling, such as dice, have been found, and these tombs pre-date ancient Rome, ancient Greece, ancient Troy and go back to the Pre-Dynastic Period of Egypt, 7500 years ago.

So, let’s understand what you need to make safe bets with our picks.

You need a good outlet [or several] to make those picks.

Some of us here at BASports.com have as many as a dozen active betting accounts.

You could use one of the legal sports books that are licensed in your state if it allows legalized sports betting.

However, you have to understand why places like DraftKings and FanDuel exist. These are publicly-traded corporations. And never, ever forget that the sole reason for a corporation to exist is this: to maximize shareholder equity.

Those fancy financial words simply mean the owners of that corporation are all the shareholders. And the biggest shareholders are the biggest owners as far as a percentage of ownership and all they want to see is that the price of their stock shares continues to go up. That’s what we mean by increasing shareholder equity.

So, it should not surprise you that the CEO of DraftKings, during an investment conference, told shareholders these exact words, “This is an entertainment activity. People who are doing this to make a profit are not the players we want.“

Which is why we would suggest that you use a good, legitimate, long-standing offshore sports book that does not play these games with their customers.

That’s what you’ll find on this page. And any sports books that we recommend here have had thousands of our customers as their own customers over the decades we’ve been in business.

We’re going to leave you with a couple of screenshots. The 1st shows you the comments of the DraftKings CEO we mentioned above.

The 2nd screenshot is from Reddit, and we hear this stuff all the time from our clients. We had a client who bet a modest $300-$500 per pick with one of the constantly-advertising sports books he saw watching ESPN; initially, he won nicely. Then suddenly one day, he gets a popup saying the maximum amount on any bet he makes is now limited to…$7.

Just know that any book we reco on this page does not operate that way.

We have had thousands of our own clients bet with Bovada as their main sports book over the decades. So, set up an account there and have a safe, reliable place to bet every pick you get from us!
