Van- do u think i can use a pinnacle account if i lived in an european country for a few months and had an official address?

and was thinking about a work permit maybe thats my only way to stay in a country for 3 months and maybe prove myself, build myself up to stay longer and possiblyyyy a citizenship. idk what do u think? I also gamble on the side for pretty high stakes. i hit around 70% in tennis and euro basketball.

In order to get a pinnacle account, you need proof of residency (a lease or a utility bill with an address), a local govt issued ID, and a bank.  All preferably that line up to the same address.

But you can get a pinnacle acct in the USA in an hour through a broker.  I hope you arent doing all of this to get a pinny account.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news - but they dont just give out work permits.  You have to prove to them that you are an essential worker that they cant get there.  If you have an unusual skill or something.  Like a soccer player.  Telling them you were a postal worker here doesnt qualify I am afraid.

Your best shot is looking for a company here in the US that needs Americans over there.  Or look for a teaching opportunity where they need native English speakers.

I can tell you it isnt easy.  I know from firsthand experience.  I am married to a (dual US and) European citizen, all of my kids are dual citizens, and I have had major issues.  I am able to work there at any time because of my marriage, but in order to become a citizen it is a nightmare.  But I can work and live there whenever I want - as long as I am still married.

So go find a US company - or marry yourself a EU citizen.  Once married - you can work and live.

thanks for the info man. and no definitely not going through all this just to bet at pinnacle. and how do i go about getting a pinnacle acct through a broker here in the US? or do u want to PM me if its private? 

and damn. thats a good idea tho read about they need a lot of english teachers. who knows may take an adventure there, if i like it stay as long as id like and try to figure things out. maybe live the CG lifestyle for a while  but hit me back with that pinny info bro. appreciate it.

europro, you sound very wet behind the ears and clearly haven't thought this through, like van intimated, you seem more worried about opening a pinnacle account than anything else.

You're probably bored working at the Postal service and want to do something else, the expression "going postal" wasn't created by accident. 
My advice to you is go to college, develop skills and experiences, then maybe you can spend a year in europe as part of your course, then you'll have an idea of what you want to do and where you want to go.
If you just turn up at a european city with no permit to stay, the only work you'll be doing is cleaning or maybe warehouse work in unsafe conditions with a load of syrian refugees, none of them have pinnacle accounts either

i understand your concern man, i do. but im really not worried about pinnacle too much lol that would be such a dumb reason to go all the way to europe. i get paid real good from 5dimes with no problems at all. just the dream of moving to europe i cant get out of my head, the difference, the women, i just think life is so much better there from what ive heard and seen on the internet and my friends tell me also. i would need to bet too and make some kind of income also. and i know pinnacle is the best site of all time for betting and the highest limits any book can offer. but that is if i can find a job of some sort in europe. and im not gonna lie i do have the same dream of CG of betting professionally as i do hit 70+% in tennis and euroball. but im not an idiot and i know i would have some kind of job for steady income and to have a chance of staying in a country for a while.

I am living on my own for the first time so it would be best to chill out and keep working and saving money before i make some kind of crazy jump like that. its perfect for where i live atm. i dont need a car im 5 mins from work and im on my parents health insurance so i can stack a lot of cash away. and i hate the idea about school, im done with it never was for me, really dont want to pay for it. but if its the only way to get a decent job and a reason for me to become a citizen in a different country i would have to look further into this. it would be something very motivating for me. and actually the post office pays for all schooling so will keep u posted on this. thanks man

thanks goose. much respect bro.  things arent working out with this new job, theyre fuuucking me with hours now, i havent worked all week just got paid from last week tho. but one of the supervisors told me that we are guaranteed sundays for now until after the holidays end. then after the new year we get all sundays and maybe fridays.. maybe mixed in with some days during the week. but it all depends on our performance. ok how do u want me to be good working 1-2 days a week idiot? just didnt sound promising at all. i changed my life i moved all the way across the country for this.

well this may be it boys.. idk what to do. this gives me freedom, could be a good or bad freedom. im on my own. i have some good money behind me, like ive said before i really do hit around 70+% in euroball and tennis. ive got this crazy system in tennis, its like they give away free money when they create these lines. i could try to live the crazy professional gambler lifestyle for a while.. maybe find a part time job for the meantime like in a restuarant since ive worked in one all my life up until now. then in a few months maybe try and live the dream and be off to europe. just cant get this dream out of my head, going to a tourny in france or wherever having a large wager on it but also not for wagering, just think the overall lifestyle is better there for me. just sucks im stuck with this lease for a year, only 700 a month tho not too bad. whats the worst that can happen? what good will it do me working a shitt job or two for a year? wil get me nowhere id rather have a good time what i love doing especially when ive proved to myself i can suceed. and i figure life out after a year and see how everything goes, and take it from there.

inputs are appreciated brothers

Many times in life people will take a pass. 

You say to yourself, "I'll do it another time".

But you don't realize at that time it turns out to be the only time.
