hahahaha what a joke



Taking the night off; I'm just not feeling anything tonight

I think I hit the mark on this one 🙂

The Knicks are looking their best tonight, though I should probably clarify that I’m strictly looking at the stats, injury reports, and everything else coming out of the front office

Let's hope they pull it off—fingers crossed everyone watching agrees with me on this one.🙂

Maybe the Knicks?

I’m honestly starting to think these players take my bets personally at this point. 😢

Is anyone else watching this? Any chance we see a comeback here? If I stay tuned until 7:00 AM, I might actually regret my life choices. 🙂

nimoy, please post more often here. I really enjoy following your updates, and I think most people reading this prefer having plenty of different perspectives to weigh before they finally lock in their picks

Kudos to the gambler, tsigija, the agent, proprusina, and everyone else for those sharp, solid picks. Honestly, I haven't had much time to keep up with the NBA heading into the playoffs lately, so I appreciate the help🙂

go PORTLAND

Denver was hanging in there for a while, just slowly drifting, before they completely lost their grip in those first few minutes of the fourth quarter.

There goes my parlay 👎

I ran into the exact same issue once. What worked for me was heading over to their sister site, PartyBets. I managed to snag a bonus code there after Bryan Adams6 sent me an invite—the code was right there in the email request.

So, you probably need to find someone connected to PayPal and ask if they can send you something similar, or just head over to PartyBets and ask me or Bryan Adams6 to hook you up with a similar deal. 😁

blueeagle8 said:3. Has anyone tried depositing to PayPal using Citibank online banking? I’d imagine it would be way easier than standing at a teller window trying to explain exactly who gets the cash and where it's going. Also, what kind of limits am I looking at if I use my foreign currency account, or is it unlimited? And does the commission change if I go through a wire transfer instead of just using a card?

I've tested this myself—it works, and the funds usually hit instantly. Any restrictions you run into will likely depend on your specific account settings. As for fees, it's about 1.92%. From what I can tell, using a foreign currency account is basically the same as using a card; on the site, you either select "bank transfer," which takes about 2–5 business days, or "credit/debit card," which is immediate.

Hope that helps a bit. Honestly, I've been wrestling with these same issues lately myself. 😁

hahaha, I feel like a total celebrity lately—everyone keeps telling me so! 🤣

Hey, I have a quick question and a small favor to ask

1)https://www.gamebookers.com/promotio...b_signup_bonus

Everything looks great on paper—the bonus and all that—but I’ve tried clicking "sign up now" from three different computers and absolutely nothing happens. It’s strange because when I go to create a new account, everything works perfectly fine and lets me enter a bonus code

The catch is, there's no mention of what the actual code is, and since you can only use it once to verify it works, they require you to deposit money first

So, while searching on Google, I stumbled upon this: http://www.bonuscodegamebookers.com/

Honestly, it feels pretty sketchy to me, especially since the official site mentions a $20 bonus while this other site keeps talking about $50

I actually like this sportsbook and would love to set up an account there to grab the bonus and get started, but I can't tell if I'm just being dense and missing something obvious, or if they're just messing around over a measly $20🙂

2) On another note, is there anyone kind enough with a Citibank account and a PayPal account who could help me out? I'm looking to send an initial deposit to PayPal via Citibank, and was wondering if someone could then transfer those funds to my PayPal account🙂

@James Taylor3 - I know it’s just a little nudge to keep things moving, but honestly, if they hadn't been so condescending when I dealt with Citibank, I probably would have thought twice about reaching out at all.

@Bryan Adams6: You sure about that? Like, could I just head down to a local branch tomorrow and deposit some cash into my PayPal account, or am I stuck waiting on this garbage internet connection? 😁
I realize I sound like a complete amateur here, but the whole process of depositing funds and managing banking online feels incredibly abstract to me. I've never actually had to deal with this stuff before.

Thanks, everyone. 🙂

Man, I was getting so frustrated that I just headed straight over to the first branch. I just withdrew everything I needed from them, and they didn't give me any grief about not having my Driver's License on hand—I've got my foreign currency account set up, and my Visa will be arriving in three weeks. Plus, I should have my TAN sheet by Wednesday so I can finally handle my online banking

So, here's the thing: is it possible to deposit funds into an online sportsbook as soon as that TAN sheet arrives (or maybe even sooner?), or am I stuck waiting for the Visa? Also, how does PayPal fit into this whole setup? I was planning on opening an account there too, so I'm wondering if I can jump right in or if I need to wait

Let's go, Ersta! I'm soaked to the bone like a drowned cat, so let's hope the result isn't as gloomy as the weather 😁

Man, what a headache. I just got back from my local Chase branch, and despite what is clearly stated on their website, they wouldn't let me open a foreign currency account without a state ID. I only have my passport on me—I won't be getting my ID replaced for another few months, for sure. When I asked if a passport would suffice since that's what their site says, the teller just looked at me and said, "It's possible if you already have an existing account with us."

According to their site:

Who can open a foreign currency account?
Any individual, whether a resident or non-resident of the US, can open a foreign currency account. You can set this up at any local branch by presenting a state IDor a passport.

Looking around now, it seems like my best bet might be Wells Fargo. Does anyone know if I could go there and open an account and get a Visa Electron card using just my passport?

🙂

Thanks so much. Honestly, it was a bit of an information overload at first, but after sitting down and doing some more reading, I think I’ve pretty much wrapped my head around it. I hope you don't mind me jumping the gun with all those questions 😁

I'm going to go ahead and get this done now, then I'll post back here with a bit of a breakdown of how it went, just so anyone else coming along later has a heads-up 🙂

My question is: what is actually the most profitable option here in the States? Also, how much more sensible and practical is it to just go with something like Bet365 or Betfair instead? Right now, I only have a standard checking account and I'm really not in the mood to deal with the hassle of digging out all my different cards or documents just yet. Is that going to be a major roadblock when trying to use online sportsbooks? 🤷

Thanks in advance! 🙂

So, I decided to learn the hard way, and after doing some digging, I've come to the conclusion that a Visa Electron card is really the best way to go. It seems like everyone else is on the same page about that, too.

I have a few questions:

How long does it usually take from the moment I get everything sorted out at PBZ before I can actually start using my card?
So, how much of a solid choice is Expekt? From what I've skimmed online, they seem like a pretty decent option to get started with. Does anyone here have any specific bad experiences with them?
3) How practical is it to actually open a Moneybookers account? Specifically, how much does it really simplify things or make life easier? 🙂

Thanks again!🙂

Since I’m planning to open an online betting account, I was originally going to jump right into a local sportsbook, but after reading through some of your comments, I’ve almost reconsidered entirely. My question is: what’s actually the most profitable way to go about this in the US, and how much more sensible and convenient is it to just use something like Bet365, Betfair, or similar? Right now, I only have a standard checking account and I'm really not in the mood to deal with the hassle of setting up a bunch of extra stuff, so I'm wondering if that's going to be a major roadblock for using international online bookies 🤷

Thanks in advance 🙂
