    is offshore betting as a american safe for me

    Hello all.... i am thinking of making a deposit in a onlinesportsbook since i don't stay in vegas but visits often.... but i have read a lot of bad things about payouts and i as a sportsbettor there is a lot of brainstorming going on to make winning bets and i don't want to be stressing about receiving my money once i win.... Question 1 will a online book pay me out 20 k plus a month on time if i was winning that much and keep taking my bets. Question 2 what is the best book for that type of action where my money would be safe if question 1 is a yes.

    20K a month and an American... Hmm... I would wait for BBD's response to this.

    You must be some kind of broker with a lot of capital to blow.

    First off, welcome to the SBR forum

    Matchbook (an exchange) would be your best option that would suit your needs sir. In fact they have no limits and they pay on demand fairly promptly (usually 5 business days via fedex o/n checks).

    if you are making 20k a month share some plays please. agree with greek these books are solid. call betjamaica and ask to speak to scotty and team him your concerns. he will be up front with you. have been playing offshore over 15 years without any problem.

    Play at 'A' rated books. Read the reviews and stick to books that welcome professional action. You can play at the recreational books, but you may find your limits quickly lowered depending on the kind of bets you're making. Either way, getting paid won't be a problem.

    As BBD mentioned, exchanges such as Matchbook have no limits. If you don't need parlays, teasers, or props it is probably the best book for you.

    The sad fact of offshore betting is that, until the money is in your bank, you'll always be stressing at least a little bit about being paid. You essentially have no recourse should a book run off with your money.

    The good news is, the top rated SBR books have are well funded and have good business models. They have more to lose by stiffing you than they would gain by robbing you. In the case of disputes with top books, SBR almost always seems to get the player paid.

    One thing I might add to all this:

    Keep in mind you could always open up several accounts. There are something like 30 outs that will accept Americans and rated B or higher. I doubt any would have that big of a problem paying less than $1000 a month. Of course if you are a steam player, well you may find your limits reduced regardless of the amount you win.

    Excellent point.

    You'll also have fewer eggs in each basket in the unlikely event of a book failure.

    I have been with now defunct Bowman's, Bodog, and I am currently with Betonline and 5Dimes. My experiences have been great. Do it, you will love it. Except the losing part.

    I just registered for 5Dimes cause I heard so much good about it. Otherwise I play WSEX and have had no problems. But not nearly pulling 20k a month. I'd quit school if I could do that...

    You're going to collect 20k a month (1/4 million per year)? You're from the US? Good Luck with your initial W/U or credit card deposit.

    thanks for all the responses, and yes 20k is not hard to make with the right bank roll, i've been in vegas and i don't want to move out there unless it ain't possible for me to continue this online.... i have been playing nba all season and i love it love it love it.... i thought about doing multiple books at small amounts but i saw earlier where a guy was saying one book took his money in his account cause he was betting the limits in more than one account, this is my fourth year investing into sports and my first year figuring out what exactly it takes to be a winner so i'm looking to do it fulltime now after testing my self....
    I'm so happy to of found this board, finally i can talk to other people who is as passionate about sports and winning as as i am.... Thanks again for advice......

    Planning on winning a quarter million a year on NBA huh. I will ask the obvious question? What team do you start for and what's the next game you're shaving? This isn't CDR is it? I wondered why the line moved from Kansas +120 to Kansas -120 right before start of the game.

    well i play college football, boxing, and nba mostly, and no i don't play for no team wish i did i wouldn't be capping..... but i love it....
    but like i said earlier it's all about the bankroll on how much u want to make, if u make 500 a week capping and i would think u do sir just multiply ya bankroll by 10 and now u got 5000 a week it's not impossible sir, picking winners is what we do, also in the nba 1 wager to win a 1000 a game minumum... same with college football....

    Are you a current client of mine. A $1000.00 player is up +$187,000.00 as I am currently 179 - 123 +187 UNITS, on my way to my +200 UNITS like I anticipated at the seasons beginning. Good luck offshore and I reccommend BetJamaica as a good place to play.
