But if I wanted a check I could always request a check via fed ex? I don't need any money - I would prefer to leave my accounts the way they are and do a book to book transfer if one gets low - do you think it is unsafe keep money in the books - I would like to play right through bases - basically, I don't want my money unless it is going to get stolen.

It all depends on how important the $100K is to you...
If you would not invest it in something very speculative, I would bring it back home. If you'd be happy throwing $100K at something speculative, then leave it offshore... I certainly would diversify into a bunch of good books.

There are many wannabe bookmakers here in the US. Getting paid from them is tough some times too. Props are tha offshore even though you pay fees to get paid your funds are available 24/7 for the taking at most places. Western Union and moneygram no problem for me this week 3 payouts in the past 4 days. Yes I paid alot in fees but I don't care, I'll keep paying fees, no problem.

Typical brainwashed, redneck, response. Get a fucking clue. The world needs the US? I'm sure Etheopia needs US companies paying virtually nothing for their coffee while they are making billions, single handlely contributing to the starvation of an entire country. The middle east needs the US invading their land, killing their civileans and stealing their oil. What in the world does the rest of the world need us for? What a fucking stupid statement.
Agree with you on your posts Sean. The minute NT went down, I immediately asked for a check on all my funds in Olympic. I'm not a big player (check was for $1500), but I was just about to have it put into NT (probably the day before the problems). Whew! My only issue now is putting in a hedge wager for the Superbowl and then I'm done with offshore betting. It's a pain to go to Vegas or Tahoe, but worth it to me versus worrying about whether my money is safe. I stand to win $350 if the Bears win or $1225 if Colts win (futures wagers). Was trying to put a little on the Bears moneyline and maybe get like a $1000/$800 split. We have a local book so I might just talk to him about a one time wager. He's been trying to get me to place wagers with him, but I don't like to play on credit (I always stayed on track with offshore accounts knowing I could only bet what I had in my account). Got in trouble years ago playing on credit and am hellbent not to do that again.

Gamblers,
I have spoken with many different sports books and gambling portals. And as of FEBRUARY 1, 2007, some sports books that are currently advertising here and elsewhere will STOP doing so for FEAR of being the next BOS or NETELLER...
Personally, I wouldn't play with any sports book who starts caving into the hands of overzealous prosecutors.
If these sports books show signs of giving up, then usually what follows is not pretty...
Therefore, you have been warned to keep your balances low across the board until we see which sports books continue catering to US citizens and which ones resign...
Hopefully, the ones who decide NOT to target Americans will pay out what they owe but history suggests that is not always the case...
BE VERY CAREFUL...

As one of the pioneers, I have witnessed a lot of catastrophes. It would not shock me if some of you get STIFFED by an unscrupulous operator who shuts down its American business or desire for new customers...
Some books may undoubtedly figure that since they no longer want any new US business, why pay existing ones?
And with banking being very difficult these days, I see some stalling tactics on the near horizon...
Hopefully, gamblers here will post ALL of their experiences in the next few weeks so that we are all better informed...

The e-wallets are gone and now you're stuck with sending money via wire services and fed-ex....
I don't see your money being any less in danger as long as you're dealing with top shelf sportsbooks who have been well established and have strong reputations...
The danger I see is if the books represented in the paragraph above choose to follow Pinny's lead and claim the US bettors aren't worth the effort......then you move your money back home or into some shady book that you had doubts about before all these financial regulations took place.
Pinny's gone, the ewallets and Neteller is gone....the rest just looks like business as usual.
