Since I cant play online poker anymore (thanks to US laws), I was wondering about betting sports. Does anyone play? Can you recommend any sites that wont rip me off? Easy cash-outs.
Is this legal or will I have to wonder when the US will freeze my account again?

Thanks for any advice!

Both poker and sports betting are gambling and its the same, I dont know why you say you cant play poker, but there are sites that accept US players.
For sportsbetting those are intertops, bovada and bookmaker. It is legal to bet online, but some sites refused to take US players because the US government banned bank transfers to gambling sites. If you want to play you need to deposit with other method, like WU.

Yes, you can play poker online from the US. Actually if you are going to play online from the US, play real money games for free.

Here is how to do this:
1. visit http://www.boozehoundpoker.com/
2. Sign up for an account on this site.
3. Sign up for "Carbon Poker" using the link at the top of their main page.
4. Return to the BoozeHound site, where you will be awarded 2000 points on the site.
5. Convert the 2000 points to poker cash. (Check with the admins if you have any difficulty with this, they respond quickly)

If you run out of poker cash, you can actually return to boozehoundpoker and earn more points, and get more poker cash. This is real, I do this regularly.

All the sports betting websites are rip offs....i dont care what anyone says. Get a bet placer in Vegas it is safer.
