Are there any good ones? I would love to get on betfair, but they dont accept US players. Would it be feasible to open an account and play there all through VPN?

They check your ID when you open an account so unless you know someone in the UK to open one you can use them a VPN is no use.

Betfair have been trying for years to get into the US market. Some good news is that William Hill have just been granted a betting license in Nevada ( my fav place on Earth), so the UK now has it's foot in the door.

Betfair have not long taken out 5 years naming rights for the 'Betfair Hollywood Park' racetrack in California so they are edging in but it may take a few years yet.
