Are there any books that allow Americans that have in-game soccer betting?

[BrianLaverty]

I know that most american books have live betting for televised football games... but there any that offer live betting for all, or most, major soccer leagues?

I would love to do this but the only places that seem to offer them are european books that don't allow americans.

Any idea guys?

This has been asked by many including myself. One that I found is Intertops $500 max bet though.

I come from the IT (software) world and I can appreciate good software and what goes into developping it.

Generally speaking US books are by far the most inferior software wise... most European sites are far supperior software wise.

You cannot even begin to compare 5Dimes, The Greek, Pinny software to Bwin, Bet365, or even Sportingbet.

Wrting a PROPER live betting software is a MISSION and no US book are evern close to offering something semi-descent... their software capabilities are poor...

I look at sites like the Legendz format type bookis (an average programer can put something like that together in a month) ... they are pathetic...

the next level of software is the 5Dimes look and feel which is also very basic ...

Pinnacle took a step further with Dynamic lines which make it slightly more complex... but that is exactly where their weakest point is and where their software often breaks most of the time and those who know Pinnacle well, know how fragile Pinny's software can be at times.

To put together something like Bwin or Bet365 takes years.

It is like comparing the latest iPhone 3G technology (European books) to 1998 model of Nokia 2110 (US books) ...

the same way Betfair is 1000 times more superior software wise to matchbook which is really very basic piece of software.

I am referring to sofware only and not bookmaking - as bookmakers both Bwin and B365 can learn a thing or two from Pinny & the Greek

phoenix has 2nd half lines on the most popular leagues/matches

[BrianLaverty]

yeah i have an account at betphoenix that i use frequently and they told me that they wouldnt put up 2nd half lines on wednesday & thursday... so apparently its just for UEFA Champions League games
