there are plenty not even rated by SBR, like :

www.superbet.com

www.thebettingsite.com

www.sportsbookbookie.com

this one is rated...smooth name

www.sportsbetgamblingsportsbook.com

there must be thousands !

[isetcap]

They're like roaches.

[Mudcat]

How many books are there ?

When I read this I immediately got a mental image of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers saying, ONE MILLION! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Seriously, I have no idea.

They're like roaches.

No they're not. Cockroaches have existed for millions of years and they have the ability to withstand a nuclear attack.

The likes of RichCoastSports, PlayTheScore, BetonStars didn't survive for 12 months and couldn't even manage to withstand a single football season.

[onlooker]

I dont think one will ever know the correct answer to this question.

Its just a shame that there are a crap load of shietty books out there that boost the number through the roof.

Lets just hope most will do their research on books before depositing money into them.

This is exactly my point. You can kill a single roach just by stepping on it (sometimes), but there will be 5 new ones in its place the next day.

[Doug]

I guess the number changes every day.

[ali_g]

There countless, seems like a new book everyday, everyone wants to get a piece of the action!

[bookie]

Depends on what you define as a book. If you filter out the ones that are just skins, or domain names put together with some money to a web designer to clone and tweak a big name site, I'd guess there are less than 200 online books aimed at the US market.

[Doug]

So you count BOS as one book, not 19 ?

Like Bookie mentioned, there are much fewer operations than there are actual sites.

[isetcap]

VIP is actually 578 books.

[BadAzz]

Bill or John

Is it so that SBR does not rate the books that are not accepting US customers? Or does the book have to accept you rating them or is there some other logic why some of the operations are not rated?

Here are a few examples:
www.bet24.com - They are not new and they seem to be advertising even here in Finland (Where it is illegal to advertise).

www.24hpoker.com
www.redbet.com - exchange

Next four are propably new ventures
www.betsafe.com
www.betway.com
www.3bwin.com
www.jaxx.com

i have read there are over 2,000 books

That does seem right if one counts BOS as 19, and so on. 5team parlay says he has used about 300. I can also see the number 200 if one counts by family.

[pags11]

does 2,000 sound about right guys?...I've often wondered what the number is...

[Doug]

it says 692 rated here, certainly some exist that aren't rated.

[pags11]

very true doug...

It's a moving target. Like trying to count the number of mosquitos in a 10-mile radius.

I just read there are 2300 of them. But I think
it is including poker sites as well. You were
right mofo!!!

[SwampyJ]

This is a very interesting topic. Maybe, one you guys can explain something to me. Why do some books have multiple sites (ex. VIP group, BetWWTS group)?
