What is a Market Setting Sportsbook?
Market setting offshore sportsbooks don’t wait for Las Vegas casinos to create lines. They originate their own lines and/or are one of the first to open and accept wagering for a given event.
Market setters also deal with sharp players. Because they deal with sharps, these sportsbooks offer the highest betting limits.
