potential betMGM newbie questions

[EXTRAPOLATER]

Saw a couple of red flags, but I see them everywhere these days.

From another forum within:
What offshores have in game for college and nba like 1st quarter, 1st half etc?
Tired of some of the crap BetMGM, Draftkings are pulling

Wondering about any crap that I should be aware of with betMGM. I did see they have live betting as I was checking out the site last night while the MLB was rocking.

Also saw some whining on reddit about a single leg of a parlay voiding the entire bet, but I don't know if there is some kind of correlated disclaimer that allows them to do that (a respondent claimed). Two game parlays--maybe--but I'm only on parlays for a lottery shot here or there.

Just some scattered comment on this site, via search, but I see several members are using the place (even Jack mentioned betting there), so just wondering if any heads-up or something. All of these fuckers should be fine, aye, in this semi-modern age.

Good, bad, indifferent?
They a sponsor (advertiser), here?

cheers

I use BETMGM along with a few offshore books. Lines/Odds are a ripoff but you find bargains here and there. I like them for convenience for depositing and payouts can't be beat. Usually payouts hit my bank within an hour. I deposit with a debit card and it's convenient. Parlay odds are a huge rip and so are props.

Convenience is the main thing.

They are not a sponsor. I don't go looking for sponsors anymore.

Plus they don't give you a raft of shit for hit and run bets like offshore does. I'll deposit for a Saturday bet and might even pull out after the game. No problem.

Thanks for the words. My options are currently limited but I have a chance to get playing with them. Have an itch and I can afford a bit of shitkicking, if it happens to me.

My current plate is totally full, but might try to make room for desert.
This September is going to be surreal.

Thanks, guys, I feel like a retard, but it's actually 888sport (.ca, here) that I have the chance to jump in on. I'd been using betMGM for lines for a couple days--with my former Pinnacle down--and I mixed the two up when I asked. Took me a coffee to realize, too (can't quit coffee). Hopefully still helpful for anyone else onto them.

I see this wikipedia page for 888sport,

888sport - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

blabbin' how they're based out of Europe etc.
I'm in beggars can't be choosers territory, presently.

I have to figure out how to get American odds on this 888sport, as my brain doesn't function as smoothly with these inconceivable decimal odds, for some reason.

1.

2. ummm "Vegas Format" (American odds as you put it) are the dumb as fuck odds, not decimal format. Decimal format is the way to go not those stupid -325 odds format and shit, Vegas Format" is just so fucking stupid.


3. 888 is fully legal/licensed in Ontario, so you are fine.

. ummm "Vegas F (...put it...the dumb...fuck...way to...stupid...stupid.

I know the decimal number when I see the """American line""" (books I've used always had their toggle labeled decimal vs american). The head is on the pena scale.

Thanks for clearing that part up. I was trying to conceive of a way to ask an AI for some of that deeper information, but I'm the wrong son.

And some will offer "fractional format" as well. Ya know, just to blow your mind some more.😲


Did I mention how stupid "Vegas Format" is?

Yeah I think I did.
