You know what we mean by Just Plain Sportsbook. Some people call them ‘brick-and-mortar’ sportsbooks. Some people cal them ‘land-based’ sportsbooks. Some people just call them ‘that goddamn place that took all my money’.

We’ll compare these Just Plain Sportsbooks to Online Sportsbooks. You may suspect that we favor one side over the other, but we’ll try to be as objective as possible.

Just Plain Sportsbooks: they open and close. Sometimes, like in Vegas, you may get lucky and find one that opens early and closes late, but 99% of the Just Plain Sportsbooks of the world make you work around their schedule.

Online Sportsbooks, on the other hand, are open whenever you are. Got the 3:37am urge to place a wager or play some online slots? After all, chances are that somebody is playing a game somewhere. At an online sportsbook, any time is open time.

Just Plain Sportsbooks: where are they? If you don’t know, you’ll have to find out. If you do know, you’ll have to go there. You could drive (gas money!) or you could walk (let’s hope it’s nearby) or at best maybe you could call (let’s hope that they are nice and that they get your information right).

Online Sportsbooks: where are they? Oh year, anywhere you are. Just a year or two ago, we would have said “as far as your computer”, but now most of the best sportsbooks and online casino usa come on your cell phone too, so they’re even more convenient than they were when we thought that they couldn’t possibly be any more convenient.

Just Plain Sportsbooks: while you’re standing in line, you can get a quick look at the games and odds. You’ll probably be standing and waiting a lot longer than it takes to exhaust all of your possibilities, and good luck trying to figure out if the odds are better or worse than the competition.

Online Sportsbooks: no lines, every possible game that you could bet on, and checking the competition’s odds takes about five seconds. Convinced yet?
