    TD and RBC strictly prohibit gaming transfers. Why you would use any other bank in Canada is beyond me

    Come on. US is the best country in the world in my opinion.

    US has the smartest people. Lots of morons but also lots of brilliant people. Also, most definitely the epicenter of creative talent.
    US has the most unique geographical landscape (you got your forest, tundra, desert, mountains, etc), most unique climate.
    Every state is so unique. You got Cali which is one of the biggest states for sure in the world. You got MICH which has the great lakes which are the biggest in the world, one of the most aesthetic areas in the world for sure, especially during autumn because it's got to have some of the most trees for sure. East Coast- Nothing in the world like NYC. Not the nicest place but the energy is unmatched. Texas. Los Vegas- gambling center of the world. LA- entertainment center of the world.

    A lot of the best restaurants in NY. Nice resorts in desert like AZ and Palm springs.

    Diversity unparalleled, as far as people and state-by-state. You can travel 800 miles, be in another state in the US, and feel like you're in a completely different country.

    I would think Canada would be the big winner here. To go back to the good ol days of online betting you can invent a time machine or walk acros the border.

    But, the weather usually runs the show and Canada might as well be Alaska to folks who live in the southern half of the US.

    Canada.

    probably the same but gave Canada a slight edge because of (1) health care, (2) gambling, (3) religious conservatives in the USA make it unbearable in the USA for everyone with their social agenda.

    Well, this is a gambling forum. It's like asking Igloo makers and penguin farmers if Hawaii is better than Alaska.

    But I do think the weather drives most things and Canada is just too damn cold for 3/4 of the US population.

    Voted USA but the truth is Canada is better for people who are regulars here. If you're on here all the time, I assume you gamble, and if you gamble, being an American is pretty awful.

    I can't even get a deposit into Bovada, because they've decided they won't take deposits from my state.

    And forget about the scores of good books that Americans don't have access to. Pinnacle is the best sportsbook around, Betfair is the best exchange, etc.

    Oh, and if you post on SBR, the main reason for points was eliminated when sportsbook cash was taken out for Americans. Now I don't even know what to do with my points. I wind up buying gift cards and getting terrible value.

    But I don't know how I vote for a country forsberg advocates.

    The problem is, most people here try to have normal lives WHILE they gamble. Colleges in Canada are a joke compared to US colleges so it'd be tough living there. Most of the brightest Canadian students know that and come here for their higher education.

    The biggest negitive about living here in Canada is the Taxes.
    I think the biggest negitive about America is the amount of Crime.

    If you use online books maybe.

    Any American city with a population over 200,000 has easy to find locals wanting your action. Although thats probably true about Canadian cities too.

    I wouldn't want to bet with locals. I tried that once and the guy stiffed me.

    I just want reliable sportsbooks.

    I love my country (USA) but I probably would fit in much better with the overall attitude of Canada......People seem more friendly, laid back, and social laws/norms are based much more off of common fukkin sense

    Cannot stand the "old guard" of power in the US and all of the dumb fukkin sheep in this country that don't think for themselves.....

    Having said that, the US has much more to offer IMO and is so diverse in a good way. We just need to let change take place and not be scared of it as a nation. And I'm not talking about Obama change......We could learn a few things from our friendly neighbors to the north
