    Is there a U.S. book that has as much live wagering as Bet365?

    I obviously can't play there since I live in the US but they have every game and a million options for each.

    Unfortunately their isn't. I made a thread like this a while back. I came to the conclusion that U.S bettors who like betting live with many options are at a disadvantage. The best way to get Bet365 is to find yourself a beard in a location that accepts Bet365 players and have this person place the bets for you.

    Order a P.O. Box in Canada and make a fake Canadian I.D. Then create a moneybookers account with said address. Anything is possible with the Internet my friend.

    No, European bookmakers are full on in terms of live betting.

    They do have an incredible selection of live bets, but if you were going to go through all the work of accessing a non-US players book (as a US player), you could do a lot better than Bet365. They are notorious for limiting people to pennies very quickly.

    lines are terrible there. I sometimes follow tennis matches there. One player will be -10000 and the other player will be +1400

    You are missing a few more steps to make this happen. It's very easy to do but it's much more than this.

    There are lots of verification steps

    Letters with codes sent to the correct address
    Passports/Hard Copy Utility Bill Documents
    Bank Accounts in Euro Countries
    Foreign IP Addresses

    It is not that easy

    I've heard this a lot in the forum, I've been using bet365 for almost two years now. I think I have make around 200% with them, should I expect this to happen to me shortly?

    Sportsinteraction is the best "U.S" book when it comes to live betting.

    There is no "US" book AND no european book that offers as much live betting as bet365. They are tops.

    Bodog has 1 or 2 live betting games per night, usually the ESPN games.

    Most books offer live betting on only MNF and SNF with just the point spread and totals, and usually those are only open during commercial break

    SportsInteraction is probably the best live betting available for US customers. They offer tons of games every night and each game has at least 10 different bets to choose from. If your from Canada I would open 1 account at Bet365 and 1 at SIA. Theres live betting arbitrage opportunities between the 2 of them every 5 minutes.

    the thing is jj, because americans cannot use european/australian/asian books, they are at a disadvantage, the books that cater to U.S. citizens know there are very few options out there, so they know that they will get business not mater what, so they just dont bother to spend the money to get better because they dont have to

    also because it is so hard to get money to and from these books, and expensive, they probably dont want to add to their costs by springing for better software

    Mushroom usa books do not have the money to but top software and run it well

    You need smart people at books not costa ricans that cannot speak English and throw fukkin Frisbees on the beach all day and think that is football, they are poor and have no clue what sports betting even is and they work at these books for $ 4 per hr whereas in Euro guys and gals sharp as blades work at books and mostly are bettors themselves, they have much higher standard

    Probably the first time I see back to back comments telling the truth about offshore books.

    makes me sick seeing all these comments about how good is Bookmaker and Bet Jam and Greek bla bla blah

    They really are substandard - and they are the cream of offshore!

    the core of the problem is the illegality of online gambling in america

    much like drug trafficing, when a market is forced to operate underground it is run by suspect people which offer a substandard product

    A few years ago matchbook and WSEX was a potent 1/2 combo. So many hours I spent making bets at the 2 places on live games. Matchbook would have the spread odds, ML odds, and total. And they were tight and they weren't made by bots who take the offers down as soon as you try to place a bet.

    Nice. May give rebatewager a shot. I am a high risk high reward type player and it would be nice to get some of the funds back from trying to build a large bankroll.

    Agree with JJ choice - I have 6/9 of those books.

    5-dimes has alot to offer and matchbook is the best for a bet on the run.

    Don't have Rebate Wager but they never replied to me when I applied to promote them.
