    US Players, Am I using the best method to wager at Pinnacle?
    I currently have a set-up where I’m using dial up, however I’m very tempted to use one of those Tor servers to access my account and make wagers. The dial up is so freaking slow and it is not possible for me to make bets when I’m at work.

    If I go ahead and use a server off the Tor network, I would have a different IP address every time I logged into my account. Would this cause any flags at Pinnacle and result in my account getting locked up? Also I am some what concerned about security issues as well using a public server.

    I looked into those VPN’s and they are really expensive as compared to a dial up account. Does anybody know of any outfit offering these for $40 a month?

        that is a good question. unless he has a p.o. box somewhere outside the states or a buddy. he can't really get the money.

        vpn is way too expensive. i suggest you just stick with 5 dimes and matchbook. between those two books, you can mimic pinnacle. unless you're a big bettor, then use teh greek-matchbook combination.

          Won't matter anyway.....Unless Pinnacle is really asleep at the wheel, and I mean comatose, I would be very surprised if they didn't notice the fact that it was a different IP address with each login. Once noticed, that would take some ingenious explaining.

            Tor Server is useless. if they don't see an IP, they'll start to investigate...and that won't end nicely for you. I don't know how much you're betting. you won't get that much advantage on pinnacle anyways once you figure in the overhead. besides, how are you going to cash out to a foreign address? your aunt in mexico will wonder how come she is getting 10k checks from some company she never heard of. good luck with whatever you do. my recommendation is to just use the USA friendly books. This is what you get for being a religious righteous country...now you got a group of people trying to bring the state back to the victorian age.

            or you can move to a more free country, like the communist china.
