    Best country to bet on sports

    Just wondering what country sports betting is completely legal (online), where I don't have to worry about getting into any trouble?

    what kind of trouble do you expect to get into other than losing your money. extremely doubtful that the gambling police will show up at your door to arrest you for wagering online in any country. or for that matter betting with an illegal bookie. if it happens don't under any circumstances hire a lawyer in court if it goes that far. some ex-lawyer judge would probably just wiggle a finger at you and ask if you did or didn't know right from wrong as the courtroom bursts out in laughter.

    Incorrect jj, as related to question by OP. Australians are not allowed to bet live online. They can bet live over the phone or in-person, but not online. Stupid really, and annoying. Sports betting as a whole, australia is quite good, not taxed and we can have a pinnacle account.

    how do they catch you and what do they do if they do catch you. take your computer away in that forlorn former prison colony of a country where strange people and animals run around in 3/4's of it. i would thumb my nose at any authority figure who tried to tell me i can't bet online. just sic an aboriginie or a kangaroo on them if they try to come through your front door.

    its gotta be Canada. I'm in the States and I am considering moving to Canada just because of this. Free healthcare, cheaper cost of living and Eastern time zone. What more can a person ask for. I'd probably be able to bet online for a living if I moved up there.

    I'd say UK number one, incredibly annoying to live bet online here in Aus apart from what Pinnacle offers.

    Cheaper cost of living.....lol

    Yeah if you like paying 500k for a house instead of 200k.
    Or 5-6$ a gallon or basically paying more for everything.
    Less crime though.

    It happens as often as people getting hemmed up for pirating.

    A case every so often to scare the masses.

    That doesn't mean chit the only time a lock comes in handy is when someone tries to break in but only because I lock my garage door doesn't mean I have a burglar at my doorstep every night seeing if I locked it.. if someone wants to get in your house a lock isn't going to stop them

    Seems like many foreign Countries are against online gambling

    New Zealand another good Country to live and gamble
