    You should be surprised then. I was also surprised.

      Actually I don't think Bush really had anything to do with it. He signed the Port Security Bill to protect the ports from terrorists. The fact that Bill Frist and John Kyle had attached the UIGEA to it in the middle of the night meant nothing to Bush. It was all about signing to protect the ports.

      Not to say that Bush is for gambling but I don't think he really had much to do with UIGEA.
      Yes, but the president has the right to line-item veto. Internet gambling was discussed on the floor of Congress for a month before the legislation was signed. The Port Safety Act could have easily been singed into law without the UIGEA

        There is no line item veto anymore. The Supreme Curt ruled it was unconstitutional.

          If you are smart enough to maintain those kind of balances, you can figure a way into pinnacle and neteller from the US I'm sure.

            Hands down YOUWAGER has higher limits online or via landline. Bookmaker has smaller limits online. Phone lines are based upon how they feel during the day.

            Greek, are you kidding me? Go on their site check the limits not high at all.

                  Get yourself a account at the royal bank of Canada, and use bank wires from Pinnacle. Then all you need is a Canadian address.

                    Because my limits at youwager were cut to $500 quite some ago, as were many others.

                    Whereas all of us can still limit bet at bookmaker.

                        not true LT. The limit is what the amount offered is.... unless you want to be a market maker and then there's no guarantee it will be taken.

                          20Four7, LT profits is correct. There are no limits at Matchbook.

                          While there is no guarantee of getting your order filled, there is indeed no limit to the amount you can wager on any given game.

                          If you are willing to pay even 2-3 cents off the market, you would have very little problem getting fillled for $100,000 or more on any NFL, MLB or NBA game as long as you place the order within 10 minutes of the event starting.

                            You, of course aren't guaranteed anything at matchbook. But, my experience, as Andy suggests, is no matter whats offered at matchbook, if you take it, a new offer will generally replace it instantly. The nice thing is, as long as you aren't betting anywhere else at the same time, or chasing a move, the odds probably won't move much if at all, so you can get down again ( assuming someone posts another offer, which usually happens) at a similar price.

                            This of course limits you to betting into sharp lines on major sports which is of little interest to me generally.

                            I wonder how the OP did with his chase system. I'm really starting to love those things.
