NJ Nets +4
WAS Wizs +9
CLE Cavs +3.5

Word of advice. If you bet over $100 a game I'd suggest you use either the greek, pinnacle, or betcris. They are very reliable and I have heard some horror stories regarding sportingbet.

Try www.sportsinteraction.com
they give good odds on all kinds of sports and can bet the horses too if your into that.. I love that...

Hey, how do you guys deal with deposits and withdrawals??? Any of you use Moneybookers?

My fave site used to be Bodog but then the US laws screwed me over (I have accounts in US and Canada). Switched to VIP for a while which has less options than Bodog and used myCitadel. myCitadel no longer accepts Canadian or US Banks.

Stupid US Laws are ruining my second income...

I've been using bet365 for a while now. Never any problems.

I'm a college bball betting kind of guy right now.

Anyone know what Canada's laws are re online sports betting. I once heard a reporter on TV say that it's illegal to bet on individual sports events. Only combination bets like pro-line are OK. Of course, it was only a reporter. so who knows what research she did.

Anyone know any more, also tax laws on winnings?

Of course. Our lovely government forces you to win 3 games to collect a payout.

As long as they get their cut from the suckers who try to bet >= 3 team parlays, they are happy.

Sports Betting

I bet online frequently (small bets) and find these sites are the best.

www.bet365.com for Soccer, Basketball and Hockey
www.thegreek.com for Basketball and Hockey (odds out earliest of all sportsbooks)
www.intertops.com (reliable buy unremarkable)
www.ladbrokes.com (very reliable buy heavily slanted towards European Bettors)

Check this site out it is a good resource for reviews and blacklists.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the info guys... I was more concerned about the deposits and payouts. I hate going through eWallets. I'll check out those sites.

If your worried about using any eWallets I'd suggest depositing through Western Union. They will charge you a fee, on most sites if you deposit over $300 they will add the fee you paid back to your account.

And as far as payouts go request a check, usually around $40, and then just cash it at a money mart.

I think that may be my best option. Although in terms of eWallets, any good reccommendations?

i also use sportsinteraction, no problems with their deposit withdrawl. They dont have fees compared to some of the others. Withdrawl goes straight to your bankaccount in a few days.

NOTHING beats www.thegreek.com !!! They have more ways to wager on a game then any other on the web, PERIOD!

matchbook.com and pinnacle gives the best odds in my opinion.
sportsinteraction also good.

I totally agree. Not only do they have a variety of wagering options but their customer service is outstanding. All of my emails have been answered within 10 minutes, I even got a response within a minute regarding a payout. Also, I once cashed out around 1K from my account through Western Union while I was in the states and they sent the money to Canada instead, I had asked them to send the money to California, and within half an hour they gave me a credit for the mistake and re-sent the funds.

FYI: www.thegreek.com is also run by the same people who run www.betjm.com.

I would not use www.moneybookers.com at all...they have terrible customer service. Click2Pay and ewalletxpress are the only two that I would recommend. I've never had a problem with either one.

Thanks for the FYI. I was looking at that option, but not anymore.

NP, btw, if you do not want to use Western Union and still want to fund your account I'd high suggest you use an e-check. Its the easiest and fastest way to get money in and out of your account. If you're worried about using your current bank account for gambling open up a new bank account, I know it does take time but its worth it.
