Say what you want, but "in my opinion" there is no one site that is a "watchdog" in the offshore sports betting market, not one.

First of all there are near 800 sports betting sites on the internet now. I know not of any one single site that is up to speed on a fraction of those sites. Most internet sites that proclaim "king of hill" in this area consist of no more than two full time individuals and a handful of part-timers that don't know the industry.

All the popular sites take revenue from sportsbooks making their opinion subject to question. There is no non-for-profit organization providing unbiased reviews of any one sportsbook.

Best case is that the various sites monitor their own sponsors. However I've yet to see any book provide any "hard" numbers open to verification to anybody... and in part this is understandable.

Players continue to cry for that ray of light to guide them, but it will not appear until they build it.
