At last Saturday’s UFC 210: Cormier vs Johnson 2, I went 5 of 6 at the Americas Cardroom sportsbook.
On Sunday, I requested a payout of my winnings. They offer one free check payout per month, with a low $100 minimum. I’m happy to report that the check arrived Thursday, with no hassles, delays or unnecessary requests for additional information.
In today’s online gambling landscape, Americas Cardroom‘s payout policy really stands out. It is RARE indeed that a site offers free monthly payouts with such a low minimum. It’s one of the reasons that Americas Cardroom is one of the few 5-star sites at the The Online Casino Gambling Directory.
Americas Cardroom has a poker room, casino, and sportsbook. Real-money players from the USA are accepted.
So, you picked the Chicago Cubs to the MLB World Series?
Or maybe you’re rolling with an Alabama Crimson Tide winning streak in NCAA football and want to take some of your winnings off the table?
Whatever the case, when you’ve finally made some profit at your online sportsbook, payout fees can cut into your winnings. You want to minimize the payout fees, and get your money as quickly as possible. For players in the United States, the two best options are Bitcoin and Checks.
Listed below are the top US-friendly online sportsbooks, along with the fees for using Bitcoin and Checks as a payout method.

BetUS is offering lines on all UFC 96 bouts on March 7, 2009 at 10 PM EST. Several fights on the undercard are interesting, but the fight of the night may be Keith Jardine (-350) vs. Quinton €œRampage€ Jackson (+250). Jackson, with his December 2008 win vs. Silva, could have waited for his shot at the UFC light heavyweight title, has decided to take this match against Jardine to stay in shape. Jardine, the heavy favorite, will be wise to remain wary of Jackson’s attempts to get this fight to the ground where Jackson would have the advantage.
BetUS is a 5-star rated sportsbook at The Online Casino Gambling Directory accepting all US players.

UFC 82 goes this Saturday night from the Nation Wide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The main event is a middleweight title unification match between UFC champion Anderson Silva (-165) and PRIDE FC Welterweight champion Dan Henderson (+135).
Other matches include: Heath Herring (+135) v Cheick Kongo (-165), Evan Tanner (+180) v Yushin Okami (-230), Chris Wilson (+450) v Jon Fitch (-700), and six other matches.
A welterweight matchup between Jon Fitch and Akihiro Gono was originally scheduled, but Gono was forced to withdraw after suffering a hand injury in training.
Bet on UFC 82 at Intertops.com – UFC odds can be found beneath the Boxing heading in the left column. Other online sportsbooks also offer betting on this event, but few are as highly rated as Intertops.com.
The future of the Ultimate Fighting Championship‘s light heavyweight division will be on the line Saturday when UFC 78: Validation takes place in New Jersey.
In the main event at Newark’s Prudential Center, American “Sugar†Rashad Evans (15-0-1), who won season two of The Ultimate Fighter in the heavyweight division, battles season three light heavyweight winner Michael “The Count†Bisping (15-0) of England.
Bookmaker.com has Evans as the favorite at -305, while Bisping is +245.
In another light heavyweight bout, two of the most aggressive strikers in the game clash when Houston “The Assassin†Alexander (8-1) faces Thiago Silva (11-0).
Alexander has been the breakout performer of 2007, winning his first two UFC bouts against Keith Jardine and Alessio Sakara by knockout in less than two combined minutes. Chute Boxe’s Silva has been just as impressive in stopping James Irvin and Tomasz Drwal in his debut fights in the Octagon.

Here’s what I have my eye on this weekend. head on over to Intertops to check out the lines.
- Saturday
- ALCS Game 6: Cleveland Indians at Boston Red Sox. Shilling goes for the Sox, and is looking to rebound from his poor start earlier in the series. He looked awesome against the Angles, but the Indians seems to have him figured out. Can he take the Sox to a deciding Game 7? Or will the Indians take the series and face off against the streaking Colorado Rockies in the World Series?
- UFC 77 – Hostile Territory: Cincinnati Ohio native Jorge Gurgel takes on Alvin Robinson in a featured bout. Gurgel is looking to revenge an earlier defeat at the hands on Robinson. And then there is the main event, featuring Rich Franklin taking on UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. Should be a great evening of Ultimate Fighting!
- Sunday
- Tampa Bay @ Detroit and Chicago @ Philadelphia look to be two of the more evenly-matched games on the Week 7 NFL schedule. I’m picking both of the home teams in these two games.
If you have not watched an Ultimate Fighting Championship match, you NEED to. In my opinion, this is one of the most engaging, exciting, and compelling sports to come along in the last 20 years.
Fight fans are gearing up for what should be an epic bout when Chuck “The Iceman†Liddell battles Quinton “Rampage†Jackson in an Ultimate Fighting Light Heavyweight Championship event Saturday in Las Vegas. Liddell is anywhere from a -200 to a -170 favorite in Saturday’s matchup.
You can wager on the bout at any number of sportsbooks. In addition to Intertops.com, USD Bet is another option that is a good choice for fans from around the globe.
UFC:71 is a rematch of a 2003 fight – Pride: Final Conflict – in Japan, in which Jackson defeated Liddell by TKO. That fight was Liddell’s last loss.
