    Flying into San Francisco mid June, how am i going to bet on the World Cup, no way i'm sending money to Guatemala like Americans have to. Any ideas other than a backstreet bookie?

        If you are just here for a couple months fund your european online book before you go and gamble as normal. It's not where you place the bet from its where you make your residence.

                  Cheers guys, didn't realise i could use my online books on American internet. No problem at all then, i'll just load up my account before i leave for the states

                  Hey Mike, we have to eat that Burrito, and the 11 litres or whatever it was of beer. That Nascar cafe is going down!

                          Yeah i just didn't know if the US had a ban on betting websites or not. I'm more of a Newcastle Brown drinker mate , had myself a great pint of that in the Mandalay Bay at last year's bash

                              does pinny allow non-US citizens to bet within the US?

                              this is some funny sh*t

                              Americans aren't mature enough to be able to handle personal freedoms like Brits have, or at least that's what Bill Frist and his boys think

                              we aren't mature enough

                                        I would recommend SBR Points Sportsbook for all your gambling needs while on vacation.

                                            if you send pinny or betfair an email they will try to acomodate you but it takes a while. i am in the us on business and it took almost 3 months....
                                            best of luck!

                                              Smogs, are you able to use credit/debit card? Being from UK I suppose you use Moneybookers or Neteller to deposit and withdraw, they of course are disabled while you are within the US territory. Using a card just in case you run out of money is an option if your book allows it as well as your card issuer (which is generally the case). I'd suggest you make sure you fund your account prior to your trip leaving enough for you to play as well as letting your book know you will be traveling, that way they will not block you while out on the States if they accept action from that country. Just make sure of eveything you need to do to be able to have fun with the World Cup. Cheers.

                                                Even if America did have some kind of ban on euro betting sites you could just use a proxy and get around it. Load up that account and have a good time Smogs.

                                                  Do NOT do this unless it is with a book which accepts Americans.

                                                  Pretty much all of the books which do not accept Americans will spot your location and you will have all sorts of issues. I would not even recommend logging in from behind a proxy, most of the common ones will also be spotted.
