Mike, if you sign up under a fake name you risk getting paid by reason of fraud. And if you don't report your winnings, you risk losing much more. Good luck.

Mike - use a reputable book, such as ours, Hollywood International, http://www.hollywoodsportsbook.com or others listed on this site. Use your real name, give correct info. Reputable offshore books are discrete and extremely cognizant of the need for privacy. Payouts via WU require you to produce ID; by PayPal, you will have to provide them with correct info, or your account will be invalidated. Sound books use sound fiscal practices. Concentrate on your wagers, not on concealing your identity.
