Sports Book Info

Established in 1996, Sportsbook.ag, located in Antigua, has been catering to customers with an array of betting options including sports betting, casino games, poker, and fantasy leagues. The platform primarily serves the American betting audience, zeroing in on popular US sports such as football, basketball, baseball, and hockey. While Sportsbook.ag has traditionally been regarded as a secure betting option, recent issues with payment processing have led to significantly delayed payouts for players. Therefore, it is advisable to proceed with caution when considering making deposits on this site.

Sports

A wide array of sports from around the globe is available for betting. Below is just a brief overview along with the expected fees you'll incur.

• In the NFL, the odds typically have a 20-cent spread, resulting in a house edge of 4.55%.
• When it comes to NFL Futures, the average house edge stands at 13.72%, which is relatively favorable for bets of this nature.
• For NCAAF, you will also see a 20-cent spread, leading to a house edge of 4.55%.
• In the Canadian Football League, expect the same 20-cent sides and totals with a 4.55% house edge.
• In Major League Baseball, the money lines are set at a 10-cent spread, with 20-cent spreads for runs and totals. The house edge is 2.38% for the money lines and 4.55% otherwise, with the 10-cent lines breaking around the +135/-150 mark.
• When betting on which soccer team will win or if there will be a tie, the house edge varies quite a bit based on the league. Here’s a glimpse at the house edges I noted:
  • Italy: 5.78%
  • Germany: 5.82%
  • United States: 5.98%
  • Brazil: 7.59%
  • Mexico: 9.01%
• The house edge for soccer totals can be as high as 8.33%, with lines stretching 40 cents (that’s quite steep!).
• NBA: 20-cent sides for a house edge of 4.55%.
• Masters futures: 36.72% house edge.
• For Tennis at Japan's Women's Open, the lines run at a 30-cent margin, providing a house edge of 6.52%.
• Looking at futures for Auto Racing during the Spring Cup, the house edge is reported to be 23.34%.
• NHL Futures: 23.34% house edge.
• The futures for Dancing with the Stars come with a significant house edge of 34.05%.
• In the World Series of Poker futures market, players face a house edge of 23.59%.
• Bets on the 2016 Republican Primary futures reveal a house edge of 25.77%.

Overall, I found these betting lines somewhat lacking in appeal. There were a few decent offerings, like the relatively low house edge on MLB’s 10-cent money lines and the competitive rates on NFL futures. However, the standard 20-cent lines in other American sports leave much to be desired, while the 30- and 40-cent margins on various other sports are excessively high.

I took a moment to compare the odds for the 2016 Republican primary, which highlighted significant discrepancies between the lines offered by Sportsbook.ag and those of other sportsbooks. This emphasizes the importance of comparing options, especially for less mainstream betting events. Here are a few examples:

To wrap things up, this sportsbook takes a straightforward, no-frills approach to sports betting.

Race Book

The racetrack section mentioned a rebate structure that offers 3% back on win, place, and show bets, and up to 8% on exotic wagers.

Casino

The casino uses games by Betsoft It seems there isn't an option to play free games, even if you have an account.

There are tournaments for table games, but I lack specific information about them.

Poker

While I don't have extensive knowledge about the poker aspects offered, it is available. The first step involves downloading the required software, which I chose not to pursue.
