Well, does anybody can help me choosing an internet wagering site?!?

I´ve heard about bodog and pinnacle, but i am not sure which one to choose...

I cannot register on youbet, for instance....since i am not american.

Have you heard about tradesports.com?? Is it good for horse racing?

And pinnacle is good only for horse racing? What about the other sports and events, like the world cup?

WHAT DO I DO?????

Thank you!!

First, and I do not mean this snidely, you could do a little research yourself. It's very easy to see that Pinnacle has lots of ways to bet on the World Cup. You do not need an account to see Pinnacle's lines.

If you want just one sportsbook AND you make bets besides horseracing, then Pinnacle is almost certainly your best choice.

However, if you primarily make horseracing bets, then you should consider 5Dimes. This thread makes the case for 5Dimes:

Any semi-serious bettor should have accounts at both 5Dimes and Pinnacle. Both books are 1st rate, and have top ratings at Sportsbookreview.com. You can read reviews of both books there, too.

The Tradesports.com option hasn't been discussed here, to my knowledge, but it is a good one. It may be as good as 5Dimes for small-to-medium bettors. It's a bit complicated, though, and I don't want to get into it right now. (I'd have to remember how it works!) It costs nothing to set up an account at Tradesports, though, and you can get a feel for it yourself.

If you do open an account at Pinnacle, open for the most money that you can spare, up to $5000. The 10% bonus you will get on your deposit is the only bonus you are going to get at Pinnacle.

PS--Scuds was just kidding about the Portuguese. Heck, with both Portugal and Brazil going forward in the World Cup, Portuguese may become a much more popular language!
