A+ rated sportsbook vs legit local

Any reason to use a solid online sportsbook over a legit local in another state?  I've been playing online for years with Betjamaica,when they were open, and Bookmaker without many issues. Over the past few months i've been using a guy referred to me and prefer his deposit and payout options vs the bs online hassle you can run into sometimes.  Haven't had any problems being paid, but he does live in another state and i'm wondering if playing online is the preferred option by most.

as long as you dont get taxed on it. :)

Advantages of online:

24/7 wagering

No "douchebag" hassles of dealing with idiots

No risk of getting stiffed (IF you use a reputable sportsbook) I have been stiffed by locals in the past

No shading of the odds (I realize some sportsbooks also do this, but not the same degree)

More options for wagering

No wagering on credit (YES I list this as an advantage, and the more experienced sports gambler will agree)

 

Advantages of local:

Cash business with no paper trail

 

 

To me the choice is obvious

 

Legit local is much better and people get stiffed all the time from so-called legit books

Local is way better. a bunch of local have online sites set up for 24/7 wagering.  I would trust a reputable local over some body in another counrtry I dont even know.  As far as chaning the odds on the game,  there are 2 to 3 point differences amongst those off shore places all the time. Besides, some time you on the right side getting the extra points or laying fewer.  Having 2 or 3 locals to line shop is even better when possible.  seems like the choice is pretty clear to me

local my behind, you hang around since november 2012 to post this bunch of garbage. get outta here
