US bettors: Best way to handle your money?

[TravisPH]

I've been betting consistently and recently took it up as a full time income, I usually bet any where from $250 - $500 per pick, and I have managed to turn a very good profit record in the last year... I am confident enough with my abilities to move up to betting $5,000 per pick, and possibly even $20,000 per pick through BetCris phone confirmation bets.

Right now, I use a combo of BetJM, Bodog and BetCris and split up my bets depending on how the lines are on each. I use Netteller to withdrawn funds directly into my bank account.

What I am afraid of is; if I really amp up my bets, my bank will end up reporting me or thinking I am a part of a front for something...

What are my alternatives? What is the best route I should take? I've even considered packing up and moving to Canada or Las Vegas, just to continue betting until I have enough to retire, which if I can amp up my bets the way I want would take me only about 2 years.

I really appreciate any advice.

Travis, I highly recommend that you consult with jonnyblaze in this matter. He is after all the resdent legal expert and self appointed conscience of Cappers Mall.

Good luck.

Thanks Judge, But I don't see a way that I can contact him or page him to this thread. I don't have any access to PMs?

Hopefully he'll stop in and offer some advice. I'd greatly appreciate it.

He was being sarcastic.I would keep the bank deposits under 10,000 for sure.

I always been a fan of any bet i want to make over a dime i'd go through a local. Nice and clean and no paper trail whatsoever. But paul is right.. Keep it under 10.

Ah, I noticed the conflict between Judge and johnnyblaze in other threads, but I assumed Judge was putting personal differences aside. Oh well.

Yeah, Neteller is supposed to be closing to US customers in the next few months from what I have heard. I hate it so much, Neteller has been very good to me.

The only thing with that is that I literally have zero experience with locals, I don't even know who to talk to do about it.
I only got into betting a little under 2 years ago, I've always been a stat nut and a friend told me I should start betting on Bodog and the rest is history.

I'm actually a little scared of locals, I mean... Are they usually just a single person? I'd be very reluctant to put $20,000 on the line with someone I barely know. How do you even find a local that you can trust and isn't a cop or a snitch?






Another thing, does anyone have any experience with the lines in the Vegas casinos? Are they usually pretty close to what you can get online? I'm considering taking a trip out for a week or so, staying in a hotel and scouting out the area to see if it would be worth it to move out there for a few years.

Well if you want to start betting this kind of coin through offshore i'd at least wait for a while. Alot of chit going on out there right now.

betting in vegas is worse than bodog, built to take advantage of squares.

a few things to try

-try voice over IP, and get a canadian #

-open a checking account in canada, defer interest (must be reported)

-get a P.O Box in Canada

seem like a hassle huh?

I think as long as their is a demand for action, the industry will simply adapt

a 12 billion dollar industry doesnt just disappear, free markets rule and chips will fall where they may

with US financial institutions not able to fullfill any transaction

this is deeper than it seems on the surface. Most foreign banks do business wth US banks, whether it be buying US debt, or simply through international commerce. Those foreign banks that wish to continue to do buiness with the 800 lb gorilla (who eats, sleep and shits whereever he wants) must also adhere to these regulations

these time are when innovation flourishes more than ever

its also a time when yuo can capitalize on anythnig that faciltates US action, virtual private network, canadian IPs, etc.

Sure, a lot of stuff is going down right now with Pinnacle, but they may have been doing some really dodgy stuff....And the anti-online gambling deal is still kind of up in the air for another 6 months or so. But I have faith in BetJM and BetCris. Besides, I only ever bet with totally expendable cash.

Some very good ideas here! I am definitely going to look into opening a Canada bank account and getting a PO box.
I'm guessing that a Canadian bank wouldn't really have issues with large amounts of gambling funds being deposited, since gambling is legal there. Is that right?

Not just pinnacle in the last few days. i actually got a phone call today from BetBBB ( My best kept low juice secret ) a B- book that i've been using for a while now folded there tents altogether. They were nice enough call me straighten me out and have no clue to why. i didnt ask any questions. LOL

I think a lot of the sportsbooks out there are reacting too fast, they have almost another 6 months before the rules are defined and plotted out for online gambling in the US. Who knows, with the Democrats in power, there may be some significant differences for the better, not that we should count on that, but it is a possibility.
It's at least worth waiting for instead of packing it up 6 months beforehand.
