    Moving out of the usa
    If one were tired of the draconian and outright fascist laws of the United States and wanted to move to foreign lands in order to enable electronic transport of money, access to all sportsbooks, exchanges, etc, where would be some places that have decent weather one could move to?

    As a related follow up question, how does one go about getting permission to move to these countries for extended periods of time?

      Costa Rica meets the criteria but getting things done in that country can be tough at times.

        I was hoping for some serious responses if possible, I can make money betting on sports, I just need an outlet now that it is becoming harder and harder to do so from the United States.

            Pakistan is one big stinky hot jacuzzi now. Just watch out for the cobras.
            10 for 10 on any scale
            One house is for sale now too. Last owner went swimming in the ocean. Probably not to return anytime soon.
            No internet connection right now is only flaw but it has a used helicopter in the front yard.
            It makes for an interesting topic of conversation.
            Domino's pizza guy should know where to deliver too is another plus.

              Living overseas isn't a problem. Working overseas is. If you don't need a job, pick a pretty place, almost anyone will let you in if you are bringing money. If you do need a job, then you really need to research immigrant work permit laws in whatever country you are interested in.

                gran canaria, tenerife or something like that because
                -rent is cheap
                -beaches, good weather
                -EU = no bullshit with moneybookers

                      Costa rican books aren't supposed to allow costa rican residents to play.

                        If you can prove that you've got 50-100K, you can get a one year, renewable **** (FM-3) to live in Mexico. Once you have that it is supposedly pretty easy to rent a place and open a bank account down there. It's also nice that you can apply for that **** from the U.S.

                          Thanks for the suggestions, the Canary Islands look interesting. I can prove I have the money so that should not be a problem and I dont need a job so that should not be a problem, Costa Rica is out since you cant play at the Costa Rican books, I guess that leaves warm weather and safety as the top 2 priorities. Anyone with suggestions that fit this criteria.

                                It is not as easy as packing up and leaving. I imagine your current **** will only let you be in a country for 3 monthes at a time. Getting work visas are a nightmare. If you travel to the carib and don't mind being trapped there than you will be ok. However, If you need to leave and comeback, let alone move a legit amount of personal items, it will be very difficult for you. I hate to say it but your best option is Canada. They WILL NOT let you back in if you have stayed ther eover 3 monthes the first time and getting back to the USA is inconvenient as well, the Agents love grilling people.

                                  Your issues are:

                                  1) v-isa - residency ... Can be complicated, depends on the country. Every country is differen´t in terms of how long you can stay as a tourist. Here (colombia) its 180 days per calender year. I managed a whole year by coming in july, leaving briefly in december and coming back in January. Then I had to get a more permanent **** to stay.

                                  In Argentina you get 90 days when you enter and you can leave and come back the next day (people hop the ferry to uruguay for a night) and get another 90 days. Some people have done this for years.

                                  2) Bank accounts/Utility bills/etc -- Moneybookers, Neteller, Pinnacle, etc are gonna want these plus an ID as proof of your new residency. Without a v-isa you are gonna have problems getting these things. In much of Latin American it´s still a pain even if you have residency. Moving money from MB-NT into local banks is also an issue down here, it doesn´t work.

                                  Id look into Panama.

                                              Move to Playas De Tijuana. You can get an incredible, reasonably priced house right on the beach. You can be in San Diego in 25 minutes, with a Fast-Pass. The weather is the best on the planet. You get the best of both worlds- quick drive to the States, great weather, cheap luxurious housing, and you can gamble all you want.

                                              You can even work in San Diego and commute home everynight if you want to. I live south of the border at my 2nd home 3-4 days per week; and I spend the rest of the time in San Diego. Don't believe the hype, its not as dangerous and scary as the media makes it out to be. I find the people to be extremely friendly. There are also a wide variety of beautiful, friendly senoritas that love gringos.

                                              You don't need to do any paperwork with visas, passports etc. You can just rent a house there, and its a wrap. PM me if you want any advice.

                                                          this is probably a dumb question, but are you able to play at pinny

                                                            As a related follow up question, how does one go about getting permission to move to these countries for extended periods of time?
                                                            You get a v-i-s-a (sbr thinks it's a CC, but it's not). It will be for either 3 or 6 months. Usually you can extend it. Easiest way to be able to stay indefinitely is to marry a local.

                                                            If you want to stay closer to home, try Mexico. Otherwise, Down Under.
