Here's a dumb question...are Canadians legally allowed to bet using a service like bwin?

I honestly know jack shit about gambling.

TFC looks downright juicy at that price. On lesser known sports/leagues, often times bookmakers dont take into account roster updates for the first game of the season.

If anyone is gonna slap some cash on TFC, parlay it with the over - you have to figure KC is gonna score at least one at home against us. The payout would be well over $600 on a $100 wager.

Yes, because technically you are betting in a different country.

I honestly know jack shit about gambling.

i know loads of people who have accounts. while i don't know the ins and outs of "legal," i think i heard somewhere it is because the money is being wagered outside the country.

i have no idea if there is any truth to that. but they've been gambling for years and years without problem.

shows like "drive this" on the score and "inside the lines" on the fan are probably a good indication that it's ok to wager ... they talk about their books/lines etc. throughout both (canadian) shows.

i find pinnacle has the best prices, but not quite as many "options" as bwin (which has ohl lines, even).

iTs perfectly legal as long as your 18.

theres tones of accounts like bowmans and bwin in Europe the only hassel is getting your cheques sent to you, if you do win of course

I use sportsinteraction.com dece site not as many lines as bowmans but it has perks and its based in north america.

You hound, that's like betting against us, given that KCs only averaged about 1.3 against over its last dozen games.

Take the under. You'll probably lose money, but given that they're more likely to score two than we are, you'll be losing money to support the home team.

Or, don't bet at all! Bet against the Shite Bulls on the over in case Montero's as effective as hype, bet for them to win. There. That makes me feel better.

I have $20 that says the total will be over 2.5

Wow, if my money could talk, it would probably ask me to treat it with more respect than I do.

i used to use paddypower but don't have the money to spend (ie throw away) anymore.

some people consider it a mortal sin but I'm one of those people that will always bet against the team they support, to get some bit of consolation from losing. It's like I'm paying 10 pound or so to see my team win

I like the OVER if the line is 1.90 or better ...

Wow those odds are surprising I would think TFC were at least 2 or below

at pinnacle, toronto is +302.
not sure if we're just overly optimistic here but, wow, what a price.

on the goal line they're +0.5.

may take both.

I wish I had bet the over as well. I was going to but bwin wouldn't let me combine the bets and I forgot about it after I had to delete it.

this was too easy. way too easy.

i wasn't saying that when dero lofted the pk to the moon.

i put a few more on it prior to kick-off as i got jacked.
the line went down to +270 by game time.
so had the +302, the +270, and the +0.5.

i use sports interaction as well... that price was too good to pass up, and honestly, i'm way up when it comes to betting on TFC - we always seem to get decent prices, especially away

Just took TFC @ 4.35 on bwin parlayed with RSL over SSFC. $20 pays $313. RSL is a decent team this year and I think Seattle will come down a bit after the Opening Day high.

nice play akoto.
i tend to stay away from parlays unless it's only a couple of bucks for funsies.

pinnacle has toronto at +403.
WOWZERS!

I don't parlay very often but the last two weeks I liked my odds. This week I think RSL @ 3.60 is a steal.

03-27-2009, 06:24 PM
RSL has unreal odds, Seattle plays one game, and they are strong favorites to win...what gives

Chicago at 2.9 is another stong play imo
