potentially may be moving there. i would be able to use pinnacle again!!!! questions though- is online gambling there legal? is it taxed? is there anything i should know that would be different or the same as the United States??

thank you

[jjgold]

Bubba why are you moving there?? Gambling laws are much looser wit no taxes on lots of books.

[woodg8]

No taxes here, and online gambling is perfectly legit

[betplom]

I would be able to use Pinnacle again!!!!

And Neteller!

is online gambling there legal?

Perfectly legal, Europe is a continent with true personal freedoms, not theoretical freedom as in the USA (not as free as she claims to be).

hypothetically-

lets say i made 100,000 next year betting on sports (online). i can put that right into my bank account and not have to pay a dime in taxes? does someone have a link to where it says there are no taxes??

also- since i would be workign primarily with american sports, am i able to get the nfl package, mlb package, nba (all american sports) through direct tv or some similar service in england? would they be as "live" as things are for me when i am here in NY?

thank you very much.

[woodg8]

We get all american sports, well, nba only one game a week but i think there's a better deal for it next year. NFL is on sky sports and MLB is on NASN, all live.

[bubba]

can i get a dish and get all the games??

also, anyone with a link to the tax laws in England? i have had no luck googling. thank you very much

whatever you do get a betfair or some sort of live betting shop.it is killing me living in the states and not having live wagering on tennis.

how muc US sports can i get on tv. is there a satelite dish i can get to get the NFL ticket? if not, how many games do they typically show per week.(and other sports?) cant find these answers anywhere, anyone with help would be much appreciated. ty,

Last season i think they showed 2 NFL games on a sunday night on sky,you can subscribe to a channel that shows live baseball,not sure how many games a week though.Basketball is also on sky,again not sure on how many games per week.I would imagine there will be US sport on Setanta as well,but i don`t have Setanta so i don`t know what they have.But i would imagine that you would get most if not all the games you want via live feeds on the internet.
You have nothing to worry about regarding tax on your winnings,just get a part time job of some description and there is no way they can tax you on your winnings.
I wouldn`t move to London though,way to expensive.

[woodg8]

Sky showed 5 NFL games every sunday (2 options for the 6pm, 2 options for the 9pm and the 1am game) and the monday night game

MLB is on every day on NASN, sometimes with a double header

NBA is only shown on tuesday mornings with one game a week on Channel 5, raw deal on the nba.

No taxes at all, no restrictions on who you can use, and everybody accepts moneybookers, almost always without fee for deposit/withdrawal. Nearly everywhere allows accounts in UK pounds too, the only major exceptions are intertops, 5dimes and betjamaica.

Best of all, there are lots of dozy bookies that are slow to move on US sports.....

[vanman]

I have intertops account in gbp.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Lol, so do I actually. Ok, that's only betjamaica and 5dimes then, can't think of any other major bookies that don't take pounds.
