There are two easy ways to bet on the Super Bowl:
1. Be in Vegas
2. Know a bookie
The third way — betting online at an offshore sportsbook — is way more tricky and annoying because banks and credit cards are legally prohibited from processing online gaming payments. But for the vast majority of Americans, it's the only way to place a wager on the big game on Sunday.
If you have a Visa credit card, you're one of the lucky ones who can fairly easily deposit cash into an online account. If you aren't a Visa customer, things get complicated.
Never fear, over the next few pages, we'll show you how to get a bet in by Sunday.
Quick note: Online gambling with offshore books comes with inherent risks since banks and credit card companies are prohibited from processing payments. If you try to deposit funds incorrectly, you could get denied and your bank account could be frozen. Also, some commenters have mentioned that the site we originally used for this post, Sportsbook.com, is "sleazy." We, as well as many others, have used it and it's worked fine (it's also one of the largest books), but by all means shop around and find a site that's right for you.
Step One: Create an account at a respectable betting site. Sportsbook.com and Bovada.lv are our favorites. Today, we'll place our bets with Bovada (but feel free to shop around!), just click "Join Now" to get going
Here's the sign-up page. You've done this before, right?
Now the tricky part: making a deposit so you have money to bet with. Once you're logged in, click on "Deposits" in the upper right-hand corner
