How difficult is it to set up an account on one of these exchanges?

Impossible if you live in the US. I used to do pretty well laying off odds on favorites on IBETX. They booted all US customers and I can't find an exchange that will accept them.

impossible, they check your IP address and if you have a US account they won't let you bet.

we NEED Betfair in this country.

You can use a proxy server or other means to hide your IP
www.hidemyip.com
You can come in through Canada, Germany, UK, or Asia. You pick the country.

Still will need a physical address outside US at signup.

No we dont. We need a system like Betfair that's controlled by horsemen/some national industry pool that allow those types of bets and props, but keeps the money within the industry. The purse structure in Europe is whack.
