Offshore Book
A sportsbook operating outside US regulatory jurisdiction, often offering higher limits, more markets, and sharper lines.
Like shopping at international stores online -- sometimes better prices, but know who you are buying from.
Why it matters
Offshore books often have better odds and higher limits than regulated US books, though they carry counterparty risk.
How DMP uses this
DMP aggregates odds from offshore sharp books alongside legal books to build the most accurate consensus picture.
Common mistake
Assuming offshore automatically means unsafe -- established offshore books like Pinnacle have decades-long track records.
