    BetPhoenix group of books offers this, Sports-1 is the one which is most tailored towards Europeans.

    Keep in mind that some bookies are going to allow you to have an account in Euros, but if you make a deposit in Euros, you money is going to be converted into USD, and then, when bookie receives your deposit in USD, they will convert it to Euros again. You'll lose a nice percent of your deposit in this process. The same thing will happen with your withdrawal. What I know from my experience, Diamond and Bookmaker have this practice, while The Greek and Pinnacle let you deposit Euros straight into your account (I use Moneybookers).

    I can't imagine that they really change the currency twice for every deposit or withdrawal. That would be crazy!

    Usually it is that their moneybookers or neteller account is USD so while they claim to accept EUR business it is the e-wallet hosing things

    you get whatever the (crap) rate is for the day am afraid ... can take a serious chunk out of profits if rates move significantly over the life of your account.

    I for one would not want to be in an AUD denominated book with a balance in AUD right now, if it retraces back to the levels of Labor Day you'd lose 15% or thereabouts on your balance when bringing it back to EUR or USD
