Hi all,
I've been searching the internet for the last week looking for a good sportsbook to invest with. I am in Canada so my options seem limited as most of the big ones deny me (ie, Bodog etc.).
I have registered with "sports.com" which runs out of Antigua. I wanted to send money via western union and they gave me a Nicaragua address. I decided not to send the money.
The next site I found was "bookmaker.com" which runs out of Costa Rica. Again I registered over the phone giving just my name and address. I told them I wanted to send via western union so they told me a $50 minimum (U.S. funds) was required. This seemed reasonable, however, The guy on the phone told me not to tell western union who I was sendinbg the money to - to tell them that I was sending it just to a friend. Also, I was given a "receiver" name and location of which it was Lima, Peru.
Naturally I am becoming very skeptical of trusting these companies. Why would I send money to Nicaragua when the company claims to be in Antigua and Peru when the other company claims to be in Costa Rica? Am I being paranoid for no good reason? If I were to win with these companies, would they likely not pay me? Does anyone know of an honest sportsbook that I can invest with? - I'm in Canada...............see my problem? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
