I'm a Canadian which immediately puts me at a disadvantage when it comes to wagering off shore. The primary reason is currency conversions. If you play in $US and break even, you'll lose roughly 6% on converting the $CDN to $US and back again if you cash out.
Thankfully some books let you wager in Canadian Dollars. Bowman's for example will issue Canadian dollar cheques for payouts so you can Western Union the money to them and have them pay you by cheque in Canadian dollars when you redeem part or all of your balance.
Other books, like SportsInteraction will let you open an account in Canadian Dollars however every transaction (despite their supposed location in Canada) will be in $US. For example I cashed out some money last week but was sent a $US cheque (mailed from Canada) which stiffed me by 3% or so if I wanted to convert that amount back to Canadian.
My question, for other Canucks is this:
What books let you play in Canadian dollars? And be specific, as in whether they will pay you in Canadian dollars (like Bowmans) or US dollars (like SportsInteraction).
