Question about online books.
I had an online account a few years ago and I am thinking about getting one this year for baseball. I have used a local for years, but we are on bad terms right now, so I'm looking to go to an online book.

I have a neteller account that I have never used. Is it worth it to get the ATM card. I work for a bank and I don't want them to know I gamble. The money would be coming out of my checking account.

With all this talk about government trying to block casino's and sportsbook, should I be worried?


Thanks for your help.

Whether you use the ATM through neteller or not your ACH transfers are recoradable, no laws have been passed yet, but look into an offshore bank account

I really don't trust online books and now you want me to open up a bank account in a foreign country?

Why dont you trust books? many are very trustworthy. Ud rather with a local who can easily go over his head. I had a local this football season who got crushed and couldnt pay

Why don't you trust online books walk? They're plenty of reputable ones just like Vegas.

I think most are probably great books, but I read stories about books changing lines for certain people, books not paying, the government trying to ban gambling, and etc....

I have nothing but great local guys. You gotta know who your locals are before betting with them. Local's are easier for me (since I'm not always home).

Thanks for your help.
Since you work for a bank, you certainly don't want them to even have an inkling that you are a gambler. Too many scenarios to consider and they are all not very pretty.

Use WU as there is almost NO paper trail leading back to you.

But didn't you say that you and your local are not on talking terms???

End that relationship now before he ends up owing you money.

He's a good book (sometimes his lines are bad), but we are on bad terms because of personal reasons that have nothing to do with betting. I've been friends with him for years.
