    Opening offshore bank account
    Hey guys,

    I stopped betting online with Pinnacle since January 2007, b/c I live in the US most of the time. I'm not a US citizen, though, but having bank account in my country is not safe.

    I'm thinking of opening bank account using my non-US passport in Panama or Czech Republic so I can re-open my account with Pinnacle and then use VPN to connect to my computer in my home country while im in US.

    Both countries allow online gambling and have good banking systems.

    I'm ok with traveling to either Panama or Czech, but getting **** can be a hassle.

    If anyone has experience with these countries or have other ideas/suggestions, please share.

    Thanks!

          The U.S. is to begin targeting offshore bank accounts in record numbers this year..........good way to draw heat that is not needed.

              I see, but I'm not US citizen and pay my taxes to my home country.

                there are enough solid outs off shore now that I would not worry about trying to circumvent any issues in order to play at Pinny or one of the Euro books that deny Uncle sam`s children

                    Why not open an account in your home country then?

                      I think a sharps response would be.. if you can beat pinny after lineshopping, then you obviously should be gambling for a living not whatever it is you are doing.

                      my response is, huh?

                          Oh no! I wouldn't feel safe with my money in my very poor and corrupt home country bank.

                              With my style of betting Pinnacle is must. I like taking underdogs with >+100 price when public moves lines.
