I guess most of you know by now that Pinnacle stopped taking bets from Americans a week ago. Bodog has stopped taking Neteller transactions. The online options are dwindling down to nothing. I'll talk about this more as soon as I finish getting my money moved around. Land of the free...
Neteller announced a few minutes ago that they're not transferring funds to and from online bookmakers for American accounts. Find another way.
With the Neteller arrests, they pulled out of the US market completely. As far as books are concerned, I'd stick with the highly-rated ones like BetJamaica, Bodog, CRIS, Greek, and WSEX. Funding those accounts is the hard part.
Hey Mag, you seem pretty wired into the whole gaming scene...if you happen to come across any articles about how much a hit the offshore books are taking this year on the Super Bowl (which I would guess used to be their biggest one-day $$$$) post 'em up for us. Thx, Jay!
I try to keep an eye on it. According to some other wagering boards I read, the volume of action on the game is a lot lower than last year. (I guess that's obvious.) The line is a little more sticky as a result. I'll keep reading and post soon.
I was able to post up some money into a book this evening. I'm in good shape for the Super Bowl and several weeks of the EPL season.
