we know people who have won a couple tens of thousands but what is the confidence level you guys have in a offshore site paying someone that hits a once in a lifetime bet for 400/500k..do you think they would pay or cheat you?

Lol. Seriously?  5Dimes does a 25 million (I can’t recall the exact number but it’s MILLIONS) perfect bracket each year. You really think if someone were to hit that, they have 25 mil to pay??  And I can pretty much guarantee they’re not buying the insurance for it.

I'd rather win big in Vegas than online, but I think the most reputable sites would pay you eventually, but it would probably take several months.  The less reputable would find a "flaw" in their software or something and not pay you.

I would think that some top sites would definitely pay, but for sure in increments..who would care as long as you were paid though..I would think

Pinnacle takes big action from high rollers all the time; I've never heard that they refused to pay someone because they won too big. Pinnacle was accepting 1 million dollar + wagers in the World Cup.

That is true. I guess if you are a US player then 5Dimes or Bookmaker should be ok.

Look man, don't need to be a rocket scientist here. One of two things will happen. 
1. They will say it was a suspicious bet and invalidate the wager. 
OR
2. They will let you withdrawal a nominal amount each month.

That's it.
