yeah its completely legal
there are many way accounts but if you make money they restrict you down - for example bet365 will only allow me to place a bet which will return a maximum of £10 including the stake
that leaves going through a asain broker who have FEE's or a company like Eastbridge in UK (very good service) but only good for asain handicaps really and football
i would not charge a Fee and in time rather be following the selections the client made , if they were mugs they would not need a broker as anyone can blow big stakes
i have a managed vip account so i can get on ...
the trusting someone stranger online is a problem , but i would meet the person face to face - if they were serious pro's and wanted to get on
also some people will know someone in the uk industry who might know me and so mutually vouch for me ( I ve done this myself in the past )
