You have right about Penta88 until now . But because i want to be positive i hope to add more small leagues and more sports . I am very curious when we will have completely escaped from Covid -19 and all tournaments/championships will start normally without restrictions , if new bookmakers will appear or SBO & IBC slowly return as before on mollybet platform . Now the situation (talking about smaller football markets ) in mollybet for me are disappointing , few number of matches on in-play and tiny limits . Something have to change .
We know that sbo & ibc (which btw might be have same ownership (Paul Phua) under one article i read few years ago) get rid of european agents but they continue using asian agents. What is the diferrence? Asian agents are taking position on their bets while european agents doesn't. I assume asian agents are profiling bettors and get rid the winners so at the end only low value bets are directed to sbo and ibc. European bettors though doesn't kick you if you are a winner, so asian bookies are forced to decrease limits in order to cover their asses. They first impose 50% PT, then 60%, then 90%. That why limits are now joke. Imo Asian bookies tried to force agents to take position (hence they will kick out winners) which doesn't seem to be happen with european agents. As a result, limits with european agents keep decreasing.
What i am expecting in the future is that ISN will follow sbo and sbo rute (they have already further descrease limits). If Sbo and IBC were loosing money from european bettors, doubt ISN are able to make profit from same bettors. Singbet are covering their asses via unfair voids so practically we will be left with pinnacle which has already reduced limits as well and also increased juice.
We have probably read the same article from blacksea about Paul Phua . I hope your scenario won't be true because this will mean the end of betting for many semi-pro or average players and it is impossible for Pinnacle to continue running the industry almost alone for smaller leagues ( i'm sure options will be available for the big tournaments. ) What i was reading that big Asians bookmakers (SBO & IBC) want as much turnover because in this way they ensure more profits was just a myth ? Because without european brokers their turnover have been reduced by a large percentage . And if asian brokers they cut limits for winners , now their turnover will be at their worst . So also they lose with all this situation , or not ?
