Any UK players here betting on US sports?

[jonnybalfour]

Hi,

Im from the UK and want to start betting on us sports, nba, nhl, mlb etc.

Would like to know which sports book would be best for me, quickest payouts etc.

There are alot to choose from so ive no idea. I would open a normal european account
with Bet365 or someone similar but i cant find any where you can buy points etc, obviously
apart from the US sportsbooks.

Thanks
Jonny

365 and a few of the other UK books tend to offer what they call "Alternate Handicap" and "Alternate Totals" which is a bit like buying/selling points...only often for poor value.

Depends on exactly what you are looking to bet on as to what book to choose - obviously from UK then Pinnacle is the immediate choice for value with the reduced odds. Bet365 if you are looking at betting props and specials and derivative markets, particularly in-play.
