Now, I don't gamble (because I have an appalling track-record at it), but I would be interested in finding some links for top US betting websites.
The reason?
I would like to compare the odds that they offer with the ones on the top British betting website.
I expect that the 'British' odds (http://www.willhill.com/iibs/EN/allsportsandcoupons.asp?sport=BS) are heavily skewed towards teams that the punters have actually heard of, as opposed to being a realistic prediction of the likelihood of a given team actually winning.
Can anyone help me out?

Actually, they are very similar. Aside from Kansas City (151-UK, 85/1-bodog) and Washington (151-UK, 225/1-bodog) they seem pretty consistent.

Pinnacle and Olympic are 2 I use online. They are the top 2 respected in the industry. I also have some corner saloon guys I use to, but I dont think you want them. Anyways, here's a link to both.

I noticed for pinacle that you need to bet a minimum for futures. Any reason for that? Also, is there a minimum bet for daily games?

I think $2.00 is the min bet at both book. Futures, in their rules will tell you exactly what it is, however I recall it being in denominations of $5.00, so I think 5 bucks is min future proposal.

You know what, I originally read it as a minimum of $500 for NCAA futures, but that is the max.
