if this stupid bill passes. here is how i will continue betting

[jm765]

Just stay with a larger book. Just use western union. send under a dime under any name I want. And get paid thru western union under a dime. Never put down my real address or phone number. No i am a smaller player getting 500-900 payouts a week is no problem for me. also will just place my wagers over the phone. Willl be more a pain in the ass but nothing to lose sleep over. also the senate has bigger stuff to worry about. But I do imagine 1 day this whole internet gambling will have to be either regulated or something to that effect. Just more worried about my money at bet 4 aces

jm that is a good approach. Is certainly the way many people will likely have to go back to funding. Western Union will then likely get more pressure, but with that said, under 1k, will be tough for them to truely stop.

jm765...Western Union fees for payouts are really high...and Western Union company policy is to have employees alert authorities of "suspicious activity" so...yeah we'll find a way...but it will definitely be a much bigger hassle and not worth the bother for a lot of casual players... and even more of a hassle and harder for big players who are not used to -105.

There will ALWAYS be a way to bet online from anywhere in the world. The issue is that the casual bettor will be scared and/or inconvenienced enough to stop betting online. As that money goes, so goes a lot of the edges available for advantage players.

jm765 i didnt get the part when u said "Just use western union. send under a dime under any name I want. And get paid thru western union under a dime."

what is send under a dime? i thought they will ask for an id whenever you send money to someone for verification. plus how u are going to get paid by ** if its on someone else name?

Thankyou for being one of the few people, apparently in the entire universe, with the capacity to think.

If you think there was a lot of consolidation and failure in this industry prior to these events, just wait until the US market gets cut off. As soon as it happens, I'm opening a new book called, "Full Juice".

Exactly correct.

i feel sorry for those players that don't have any locals at all, if this bill does indeed pass.

yes,western union requires id to collect.neteller will continue to work but future funding of your neteller acct may become more of a challenge and neteller eft,s to u.s. checking accts could be cut off

There is a better chance of me moving to Lebanon later today than there is a chance of anyone being unable to send and receive money from sportsbooks ever in our lifetime.
