I'm going back to school on the east coast for a year. I live in Vegas and will miss putting in my 11 dollar bets come football season.
Let's say my offshore account has 300 dollars in it when I move back and I don't want to send a copy of my drivers license and utility bills to Curacao...
Should I wager against the full amount of my offshore account when I get back to town and hope I win the side in Vegas? I just know Murphy's Law will kick in and I'll win 5 bets on my offshore account in a row. The situation seems like it could escalate into a martingale against yourself.
What would you do if you were me?
Thanks

Not sure I get this. You might have $300 in an account and you want to bet against it why? You cannot simply give your loss to the casino (or worse yet bookie) and call it even. What are you trying to accomplish? At some point you will have to cash-out.

Seems like a good strategy. I would maybe Martingale $25-$50 at a time or else your bankroll could grow too fast in the online account. Eventually you'll clear it out, but you're going to make less than the $300 doing it. As long as you're prepared for that, it's a fine strategy.

I like your idea. Don't change a thing.

You could always sell you account to someone. I will send you a cashiers check for $1,000 and just mail me back $600 OK

Especially since I think 90% of sportsbook charge some sort of withdrawal fee losing a few bucks isn't much.
I just wince at the thought of sending copys of my license in this age of identity theft.
