Hi, first time posting here and I was just wondering if anyone can help me answer a few questions.  I was looking at betting on bookmaker or wherever, do you need a bank account or can I just use a gift card, then place my bets and if I were to win have a check sent to my house?  Thanks for any help, I know this probably gets asked all the time, but I really appreciate it.

Bookmaker is solid.  Use MG for small (Under $700)  cash deposits and withdrawals and you'll be fine.  Avoid credit cards because you'll have to produce ID and jump through all kinds of hoops.  Avoid check withdrawals for the same reasons.  Avoid the on-line casino, you've been warned.

Just go to Money gram at the the drugstore counter and send cash. Start simple and then you'll learn the process. BM will provide you with the receiver's info in some chithole country.

Do NOT tell M Gram you're sending for the purchase of goods/or services. You'll be denied.

Bookmaker is easy, once you get established you can fund your account with your debit card. Also betdsi is a solid book.

This site provides links to websites that allow startup bonuses for betting. They also have tons of different scores and leagues to follow too. Hope this helps.
