    Hello u:

    Move overseas and open a website. It's illegal for you to do in the US.

    Ex, I am not sure that that was what he meant my friend.

    Are you asking about 'gambling' or are you asking about publishing, etc?

    Unless you live in a neighborhood full of sports betting fanatics, there's really only one way to get into sportsbook scene, and that's by setting up your own sportsbook website.

    You don't have to know any website building skills. There are plenty of places that sell the special software you need. The trick is finding the right one. I'd go with a company like BETTING's - http://www.bettings.ch. They're in Switzerland, which makes their PPH hosting service not only legal, but come on - it's Switzerland. That's instant credibility. To me, that's going to go a long way in helping you break into the sportsbook business.

    The software helps you in a variety of ways and basically makes the whole business a lot easier right from the start. Like with bettings.ch sportsbook software, you can:

    • Take bets 24/7
    • Have a much larger customer base
    • Show your customers real-time odds
    • Customize your “brand”
    • Have a professional, credible “storefront” for your business
    • Handle payment transactions in multiple currencies
    • Take bets on every possible sporting event (even the ones you didn't know were happening!)
    • Control risk management with automatic monitoring and adjustments
    • Analyze your business with reports and stats
    • Ensure compliance with online gaming laws

    With a package like that, you can kind of jumpstart the whole thing by having your own domain name and having a super-professional look from day one. And you'll be organized from day one as well, which is important. You definitely don't want to piss off punters.

    The rest of it is just promotion, so whatever ideas you come up with can work to get the word out about your new business. Happy booking!
