replied to Advice about moving to Nevada in General Discussion van, I didn't know Equatorial Guinea had Walmart's You answered the bulk of my questions. I am not certainly not against paying taxes and would love the chance to be able to do so legally in the States on any book. I can get off on a tangent here about the hypocrisy of the government, but... One thing that needs clarification though is that soccer is certainly not one of my regular plays. The bigger events get my attention more so than an average Saturday or Sunday in the English Premier League or regular season in the gawd awful MLS. I stick to the sports I know the the best and have more experience in. I'm off to connect some dots. Thanks again for the insight View Post \| View Thread	PeteRoseWins	39	November 19, 2008 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Advice about moving to Nevada in General Discussion All the advice is appreciated guys covers On the Pinnacle suggestions, can someone give me a clear answer on whether they do in fact allow Americans, and if so how is that arranged? I've been looking into these overseas bank accounts and am getting pros and cons from each angle. The biggest con seems to be knowing which banks are trustworthy- how to insure your money. LuckyLuke, I honestly mean no offense here man, but I could not care less about your opinion of the veracity of my "story". I came on here legitimately seeking advice for this, not to gain anyone's approval or respect. And I don't have any interest in wagering anything on a random 100 pick stretch. I would gladly take hitting at 65% for the rest of my life. What would it prove if I didn't hit that or whatever % for some 100 game span? Nothing in the long run, which is all I care about and base myself on. View Post \| View Thread	PeteRoseWins	39	November 19, 2008 View Post \| View Thread

Certainly not totals. Try betting 5k in vegas on soccer - impossible. All I can say is do some research about betting online. If you are willing to move to Nevada, there are much easier steps to take to setting up yourself online. It is totally legal for an American to set up a bank account overseas - and the UIGEA does not apply to a bank account in the Bahamas or anywhere else. I bet much more than you and wouldnt think about betting in vegas. I get anything I want down online. And if you are happy and proud you made as much as you did at -110, you still would have made MUCH MORE at -102. Take my word on this one. For some reason this is where most people dont want to listen - but the key determinant to you being able to be successful as a pro is betting the best line at the best price as much as you can - and you cant do this on foot in Nevada. Good luck, do some research.... I would have loved to be getting the -102 for the past 9 years. Any sort of pride is kept in check by knowing how much more I would have right now if I knew about that option. I will certainly learn as much as I can about going online, though I feel like I'm about to start reading page 1 of an encyclopedia. Based off your suggestions, my biggest questions going into this are: What is the process for withdrawing/depositing money from an overseas bank account? Is it as simple as using an ATM card just with higher fees? How do you know which banks are reputable? Is there absolutely no governmental interference with such a situation? These questions may seem elementary, but it's honestly where I'm at right now in my online knowledge. Thanks again for any help View Post \| View Thread	PeteRoseWins	39	November 15, 2008 View Post \| View Thread

replied to Advice about moving to Nevada in General Discussion vanzack.. I had a great local for awhile that took just about everything, so I never really had a reason to go online (honestly, I feel a bit better knowing I've built as much as I did getting that -110 vs. -102). I've done preliminary/casual research online and (I plead ignorance here) I've been a little sketched out at times about the possibility of either my deposits not getting through, or more importantly my withdrawals not clearing b/c of the whole UIGEA fiasco, regardless of the struggles to implement its regulations. The BetJamaica ATM card was the only thing I saw in my limited research that seemed like a reasonable way to go. ? I range my plays from an absolute minimum of a nickel to 5 dimes (certain occasions higher), the value depending on my researched opinion of where lines should be vs. where they are. My sports are, in order: NCAA BB, NCAA FB, NBA, MLB, NHL, NFL, Soccer, everything else. The type of bet (O/U, halves, team totals, etc..) is irrelevant to me, as long as it works with my numbers. I am certainly not heart set on settling on Vegas. I'd prefer not to, hence my reasoning for finally signing up here and starting this thread. But circumstances will force me to make a decision in the next few months, and I'll do what I have to do to get started and do further research on where to go next. I truly do appreciate and value insight, advice, or suggestion you or anyone else can offer, especially regarding the online industry View Post \| View Thread	PeteRoseWins	39	November 15, 2008 View Post \| View Thread
replied to Relocating to Nevada in Las Vegas Yavapai.. great stuff. Thanks a bunch I've honestly never heard of Minden, but I'll definitely look into it. From what I've got so far on my research, it looks like the Tahoe area is the place to go. I am with you on Vegas. Will people from LA ever get the memo the rest of the country doesn't think they are the center of the universe? I hate being around the clubs in Vegas on a Friday or Saturday when all those MTV wannabee's are wasting Mommy and Daddy's money on trying to seem like royalty. Ugh. The surrounding Henderson/Summerlin areas aren't as bad, but the Strip is certainly a SoCal cesspool View Post \| View Thread	PeteRoseWins	10	November 15, 2008 View Post \| View Thread

replied to Advice about moving to Nevada in General Discussion westla, your advice is appreciated I just have to make this clear. I did not wake up a week ago and say, "gee, I think I'll move to Nevada and bet on them there sports games for a living". I've been doing this for the better part of a decade and the only diffference between what I've been doing locally and Nevada would be paying the juice up front. I have the bankroll to sustain myself for quite a long time and can manage money as well as anybody. Like I said before, I've been to Vegas plenty and done the 24 hour bender routine on the Strip. I have no desire to do that again. This is not an impulse, escape-from-anything type move. Im responsible to nobody but myself right now, and will always have this in the back of my mind if I don't do it, so I'm going for it.

replied to Advice about moving to Nevada in General Discussion RickeM.. 2 million people live in the Las Vegas metro area in middle of the desert, so its obviously not just the strip and then tumbleweed there . I've been to Vegas about 15 times in my life for a week to 2 at a time, so I know how hot it can be too. I don't plan on sitting out in the sun 8 hours a day in July or running marathons in August. Its honestly no worse than the summer heat and humidity where I'm from anyway. And I did not ask anyone whether I should "live to the desert so I can bet on sports professionally". I'm not looking for anyone's approval here, and don't care what your ignorant logic tells you. I've thought about this for years, and have prepared plenty. The question(s) that I actually asked were for people's advice on the other areas of Nevada besides Vegas and what the quality of the books were. That's all.

replied to Advice about moving to Nevada in General Discussion Primarily, yes. I have enough experience, bankroll, and discipline to give it an honest shot and I'm at a point in my life where I need a change of scenery anyway. I had a good local for awhile that fizzled, and I'd rather stay away from the online books. I'd love to find a book in Nevada that is as good as the Hilton's, but I honestly have no idea if one is available outside of the LV Hilton. Do you or anyone know if a book of similar betting options and promptness of lines/totals exists in Nevada outside of Vegas? I guess if I had to I could move to Vegas and just get a place far enough away from the fantasy land of the Strip, but preferable only as a last resort. Thanks again for any insight.

created a topic Relocating to Nevada in Las Vegas I'm moving to Nevada for full-time sportsbook access and was curious about the different areas. I've been to Vegas a ton and its great for a week at a time, but I'm not so sure it'd be a great place to live. Does anybody have any insight on places like Laughlin, Reno, Carson City, etc? I was thinking it'd be nice to live near Tahoe, possibly even in California, but don't know how far it would be to the nearest book. Also curious about the odds in the non-Vegas areas, i.e. how quick are they available and whether there is another book in Nevada that is both as quick and detailed as the Hilton's lines. I've been at some Stations casinos in Vegas and it can be frustrating as hell when they don't offer added games until Wednesday or don't offer totals until late in the week. Any feedback from posters or moderators is much appreciated View Post \| View Thread	PeteRoseWins	10	November 14, 2008 View Post \| View Thread
