Best offshore sportsbooks for online betting? in Betting Forum ·
lonedrifter68 said:Hey everyone, I’ve got a question about betting on player point totals in the NBA.

Basically, I’ve been digging around for a while trying to find an online sportsbook—other than Bet365, bwin, DraftKings, or FanDuel—that actually offers those specific props.

I’ve done my homework, really poked around, but I haven't seen it offered by any of the big-name books. To be fair, I checked some of the smaller, less mainstream ones too, and nothing.
Anyway, maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places, so if anyone knows of another sportsbook besides those four mentioned, please let me know.

Vidić, man, damn him 🙂
The other problem is he isn't even playing 😁

I might just write up my own little recap of the game from the other day.

jadewolf16 said:The odds for Real Madrid in the first leg are sitting at 1.20—and honestly, it wouldn't be a shocker if they ended up drawing 1-1, only to absolutely dismantle them 4-1 in Istanbul later on.

I remember back in '96, Ajax was just as dominant as Barcelona is now, and Panathinaikos were complete long shots.

That was the very first Champions League group stage format... Ajax drops a 0-1 loss at home, then turns around and wins 3-0 in the away leg.

Same year, they played against a tough side from Split—it was 0-0 there, then a 4-0 blowout in Amsterdam.

So, yeah, it’s technically possible, but if you're asking me if Galatasaray can actually advance past Real? I'll say an absolute no.

When there's serious money on the line, my philosophy is pretty simple: play it safe and stick to what's practically guaranteed.

It’ll probably hit 1.30 by match day.
Actually, looking at the math, you get way better value betting on the win in the first leg at 1.20 than chasing the 1.05 odds for them to simply advance overall.🤷

jadewolf16 said:Look, those odds are just tiny—I mean, they aren't even crazy enough to justify betting more than what's already on the table.

Dortmund is sitting at 1.45 right now, but honestly, it’s not worth chasing a heavy stake. If I go for it, the net profit ends up being basically the same anyway, so why bother taking the risk?

But I'm telling you, it's a wash. When you bundle it all together, you're looking at odds of maybe 1.21.@
The odds on Real Madrid in the first match will probably be at least 1.30—you're much better off putting a real stake on them instead of wasting your time on these miserable scraps.🤷

These odds are an absolute joke—just straight-up disrespecting Galatasaray and especially PSG. It’s basically a textbook case of NEvalue.
I mean, if you look at the actual lines for their home games, the payouts for a win are going to be way better than this garbage 🤷

Gerald Carter53 said:Wouldn't it be easier—and frankly, safer—just to take the Chelsea win at 1.40 instead of risking it all for a slightly better payout? A 2:1 scoreline isn't exactly impossible, you know.

Fair point, there’s definitely more value in playing the odds than just chasing a safe bet.

And honestly, if you're really convinced Chelsea is going to pull this off, you might as well go for the handicap at 2.00—though, damn, that only works if they win 1:0 and then somehow hold it through extra time. Tough break if they don't.

And man, there was a time when they were actually elite. It’s wild how much they’ve fallen off since the start of this year—just a total collapse, really.🤮

My two cents? Just stay away from those SS odds when you're looking at the +3 spread—they almost always have the lowest lines in the market. If you want better value, stick with DraftKings or something similar; for this specific spread, they’re sitting at around 1.90, which is much more reasonable. 😉

Roger Cook25 said:Show me the actual law that says online betting through foreign bookies is banned. 😂
And why exactly would I pay a penalty?!
Honestly, I’m leaning towards betting online—it’s just way faster, you know? The selection is massive compared to what you find locally, and if you actually hit a winner, the cash is sitting there ready to go within five minutes of the final whistle. It beats waiting around forever.
Look, I’m all for paying my taxes—honestly, I want everything to be totally above board—but I’m really trying to wrap my head around the specific legal wording here. Does anyone actually know the exact provision in the law?

🤦

Maybe you could try being a little less rude to start with? 🤷

Department of the Treasury said:X. INTERNATIONAL GAMBLING SITES

Article 68.

The rules are pretty simple—here's what you can't do:

If you’re placing bets on foreign gambling sites while physically standing on American soil, you’ve gotta be careful—that actually falls under the jurisdiction of the law.

So, I was thinking about that whole second bit—you know, the part about gathering up all those roles back here in the States just to get a shot at playing in some overseas sweepstakes. It’s a bit of a process, isn't it? Kind of a strange loop to be navigating.

3. Selling, holding onto, business transfers, leasing, advertising, or any kind of promotion involving foreign scratchers and lottery tickets within the United States.

Check out the legal breakdown regarding gaming regulations here: http://www.businessforum.com/laws/gaming_law.asp

It’s pretty simple, really—you can't exactly claim something is legal when it's clearly against the law. 🤷
He’d be facing a penalty for breaking the law. 🤷

Just a slap, and then another slap.

Roger Cook25 said:I'm curious about how the tax situation works when you get winnings from overseas...
Like, if I pull in a few thousand bucks a month and they send it over.
Do I have to pay taxes on that?!

Betting online through foreign books isn't exactly legal, though it’s definitely a bit of a gray area.
If the IRS ever caught wind of it, you wouldn't just be looking at taxes—you'd be facing a massive penalty.

And honestly, I’ve already played it—it’s basically just a standard, small-time role anyway.

But then again, I still get the feeling that Lens performs way better at home than they do on the road.🤷

Just popping in quickly since things kick off at 6—though you can always catch the livestream if you miss the start.

I’m still thinking about that game from last night—it was such a mess. Honestly, looking back at the stats, it feels like we were playing against a ghost most of the time. Just completely disconnected. I don't know if it was the officiating or just a bad night for the offense, but man, it was tough to watch. It felt less like a high-stakes matchup and more like a disorganized scrimmage. You expect a certain level of grit when these teams meet, but instead, we just sort of drifted. Anyway, that's my two cents. Still processing it all.

The top Czech side—well, if you count Sparta—just absolutely dismantled Brno. They basically tore through them in the Europa League, crushing Napoli in the process, and used that momentum to pull ahead of Sparta in the standings. Total blowout.

Erciyesspor 1

So, we've got this matchup coming up—it’s basically the top dog of the American Second Division, currently riding a massive wave of momentum, taking on the 16th-placed squad that's absolutely fighting for their lives just to stay in the league. It’s one of those classic "David vs. Goliath" scenarios, though let's be honest, David might need more than a slingshot for this one. 🤷

Galatasaray 1

hollowwalker10 pretty much nailed it.

Monaco 1

So, I was thinking about this matchup—the absolute juggernaut of the US second division, the squad that hasn't tasted defeat in two and a half months, going up against a mid-tier side like AZ Alkmaar... wait, let me rephrase that for clarity. Imagine the best team in the US second tier—we're talking a massive, undefeated streak here, over ten weeks without a single loss—stepping onto the pitch against a perfectly average MLS side. It’s an interesting thought experiment, really. You have this momentum, this unstoppable force from the lower leagues, clashing with a standard professional outfit. Does the streak hold, or does the reality of the top flight catch up to them? Just something rattling around in my head today.

Jesse Brown12 said:Does anyone have a solid breakdown for tonight's game? 😍

I’ve got a feeling Rio Ave might actually give Porto a run for their money here—especially since Porto looks pretty spent after that grueling scrap with Malaga. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to find the back of the net at least once. They've been finding ways to score in their last seven outings, and they've managed to pull it off in their last two matchups against them too (though, granted, those were both at home).

Bottom line: I think we should give that option a shot. Rio Ave to score @ 2.10 — worth a look.Honestly, looking at those numbers—whether it's the $2.15 payout or that $2.65 option—it’s just not really worth the hassle. You look at the spread and realize you're basically spinning your wheels for pennies.

Over 2.5 goals in the matchup between FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo—odds sitting at around +200. Might be worth a look.

When these two teams face off, it’s always such a weird seesaw—one week it’s a total defensive grind with zero scoring, and the next, it’s an absolute shootout where they’re just trading blows like 3:4, 5:1, or even a 6:2 madness. Honestly, I’ve just got this gut feeling about it—call it a hunch if you want—but I think we’re due for another massive rain of goals.

Barca-Sevilla over 2.5 goals at +2.00 odds—I’ve got a feeling about this one.

Barça really needs to step up and answer to their fans after that absolute disaster of a performance in Milan—honestly, it was painful to watch. Meanwhile, the visitors look like they could find the back of the net against just about anyone right now.
The odds look like they were pulled straight out of a lottery machine—completely random and frankly, a bit ridiculous.

@ Roger Phillips

DraftKings is sitting at @ 2.10 for the over 3.5 goals for Bayern Munich😉

That was back during the 2011 group stages. Now, if you’re looking at the quarterfinals—we had a 0-0 draw followed by a 3-1 win—that was technically the same season, but those matches actually took place last year.

urbanowl5 said:That's the one.

It's working! It's working!

That’s that.

I don't really know what to make of this—it feels like we're just circling the drain at this point. I was thinking about it earlier, maybe while grabbing a coffee in Seattle, and it hit me how much noise there is in these discussions without any actual substance. It’s all just... well, you know. A lot of talking, very little doing. Anyway, just my two cents. The user says:
So, if you want to get that working—just click the little arrow on Mario's post to jump straight to it, hit the multi-quote button, then head back over to Luke's post and hit quote. Simple enough, really.


It’s happening—it’s actually happening.

If you’re talking about that little white arrow in the blue box right next to a user's name—yeah, I gave that a shot. But honestly? It doesn't really work the way I wanted it to. Instead of nesting one post inside the other like a proper reply, it just dumps both posts right on top of each other, one after the other. Super annoying.
jadedrifter2 said:Man, you’ve completely lost me here 😕 what arrow are you even talking about? Every time I pull up a post, all I see in the bottom right corner are those three buttons—quote, multi-quote, and quick reply—but I'm definitely not seeing any arrows...

There. Five seconds of work, that's all it took.
