Next year's CFB season will be my first betting with serious cash. I'm gonna start with a fairly hefty roll and bet 10-20 CFB games per week at around $2000 per bet. My problem is where to get the bets down. I figure these are my options.

1. I bet with a Local. This would be perfect. Problem is, I live in the sticks and the only "Book" I know takes $300 max wagers. i would love to get in with a solid local who pays promptly. Probably not gonna happen.

2. I bet on line. This would also be a great choice. I've been betting on line for a few years. My problem here is, I don't feel good about sending large sums of money to a book who may or may not pay me. Especially with the limited options for funding.

3. I fly to Vegas every weekend. This sounds like the most probable course of action. Probably sounds like a really cool thing to alot of people. It's not to me. First, I hate flying. Second I have a little Boy who turns 2 in March. My wife is cool with me going out there every week, but I really don't want to stick her with the Boy every weekend while I'm on vacation. I've considered sending a friend out, but I'm having trouble finding someone I know and trust with this kind of money.

So the question is: Can I safely get large sums of money deposited off shore and know that I will get paid? It gives me heartburn just thinking about it. I would love to just bet on-line, but it scares the shit out of me, especially with all the threads on this site and others about people having to "pull teeth" to get paid.

Anyone?

It's a good thing my local guy takes large amount of wagers.  But he'll only do business with people he can shake hands with.

A. good for you man family should come first way to go fro recognizing that.
B. You have to recognize that even though all you read about is people not getting paid, its because people who get paid do not take the time to post up that they got paid, its only people who complain.
If you want a track record of payments, head on over to sbr and check the sportsbook and the industry forum. The first thread in there is a payout thread, People in there constantly post about payouts in the 4 to 5 figure margin.
You do have to realize though you are talking about 40k a wknd. Thats a lot of money, might be best to do bank wires for that one and go with a book that likes professionals, as a recreational book will cut your limits pretty fast.
Also in this day and age there is no guarantee you will be paid in a timely manner, its the nature of the business, it seems as though the fed has stepped back from their crusade after they gov't ruled that internet gambling shouldn't be that big of a deal and be allowed.

no, DO NOT trust any online book with that kind of money.
Secondly you will have a very hard time cashing out that kind of money without any kind of suspicion.

Best thing to do is fly to vegas every weekend.
I dont think u can trust anyone else with your money in vegas.
He probably blow it all off at the strip club.

The expenses of flying out every week will decimate your winnings.

It would have an effect. Wouldn't decimate it.

My first thought is how can anyone win consistantly betting on 20 games a weekend?

Then, the next thought I had was I knew a local who would handle that with no problem, but I guarantee he wouldn't take those kind of number without some type of large post up not knowing you, and in return if I was betting that I would trust someone I don't  know to post that kind of money up.

Good luck brother.
