newbie question about sport gambling

[ub281]

hello everybody

I' am new to sport betting and was wonder if some you guy could clarify something.

I was under the impression sport betting was illegal and wiring money or using your credit card would get you a one way ticket to jail????????????????

can somebody help me

You are correct.
Very illegal!
Indictable offence.
Your looking at 20 years to life for your first offence.

Don't do it!

Don't start cause you won't stop, its illegal to take bets "bookmaking" not to actually gamble in most states

[The HG]

It's illegal to "take" bets, not illegal to "place" bets, even though they are essentially the same thing.

Place bets are one of the better bets when playing "craps".

Don't believe me?

Look it up!

[Fiasco]

taking bets and placing bets def aren't the same...
