    Yes or no? If yes, which one do you prefer and why?

    No. Im waiting to see what comes about in the next few months or year. I will just stick to betting out here. At least I know where my money is, and dont have to wait for it or worry about if the processor is going to pull out of the US market.

        I probably would, though I'm not sure what the fees are. BetCris just told me that I can deposit and withdraw using MoneyGram (I can deposit only with **).

          Western Union will cut you off also if you have too many or large transactions. They blacklisted me a few years ago, then I had my girlfriend do my transactions for awhile until they blacklisted her. Fees were extremely high then, the books would cover them when you were depositing though. When recieving you had to eat the fee.

            Well locals of course would be your best option right now if you have a good one.

            I think the safest way to send and receive funds from books is with an international money order sent via Fedex overnight delivery.


            I wouldn't use ** or Moneygrams if I had to pay those fees. However, If the books continued to pickup the fees and I didn't send anything more than $1,000-$1,500 I would feel fairly safe.

              Dan,

              You nailed the offshore funding on the head. The key is to ** an amount that is small enough not to raise a red flag and big enough for the book to pick up the fees. Your 1,000-1,500 range seems right on as long as you do not send more than 3 payments or so a month.

                well this should be fine for like 98% of gamblers. Which is better ** or MoneyGram?

                    I think moneygram is better. The services are practically identical and moneygram is $10 while ** is $16.

                    If you use moneygram I recomend you go to a bank rather than a supermarket.

                    And if you choose to do the moneygram online they require your SS#.

                      ** is one of the least hassle free methods to deposit funds with an offshore. Anyone with a credit or debit card can do this online at **'s website in less than five minutes and if one excersizes a reasonable degree of caution, no red flags are raised. Granted, this is not a wise option for making a large transaction but one would hope that common sense would prevail if that were the case.
                      Nothing but the truth!

                          I agree Judge ..amounts like that are perfect and I also agree with the online thing... I haven't tried it yet but I am excited to give it a shot... I can't vote fairly because I never tried Money Gram but for me checks for payouts and Debit Card for large transaction deposits ** for smaller ones... I also of course totally agree with the "Just use your Debit Card" comment.. Once you find one that works and get the prelimenaries out of the way that is cake... I am going to look into Money Gram though.. As long as these books continue to pick up the deposit fees I will use ** for deposits when I can....
