Advantages of Trying Out New Sportsbooks
No matter how much you like your current online sportsbooks, it's a good idea to keep an open mind and see what else is out there.

Consider the following factors when a new sportsbook hits the market.
✔ The Lines
Are you line shopping yet? And if not, why not? For example, why would you bet on the Phillies at -140 if you could place a wager on them to win at shorter odds, such as -130? Whenever a new sportsbook launches in PA, you owe it to yourself to sign up, so that you can have access to as many different lines as possible. If you find a line that is slightly better than another for your purposes, the profit difference isn't going to be very significant if you win the bet. But over time, a little can turn into a lot.

Plenty of sports betting apps will also dangle a pre-launch bonus, which can give you extra perks for signing up before they even goes live with online betting.
✔ The Markets
You may not find all the sports want to bet on at every sports betting app; signing up at a new PA sportsbooks gives you access to a greater range of markets. For instance, a European book (like the incoming bet365) is more likely to have a deep bench of bets around EPL, Bundesliga and other European soccer leagues, while sportsbooks based in the United States will probably lean harder into the American brand of football.
