Euro account

[fatman1962]

If noticed that quite a few bets to be had that are in euros. So i was wondering what was the best way of doing these bets?

Should i open an euro account?
Or just convert into euros?

I just use XE.com and see what the current exchange rates are.. Sometimes it will go against me over time, other times not... I believe that it all evens out

If you can see yourself using it A LOT, then probably best to get a Euro closed loop set up. Set up a new E-mail address. With that go to Moneybookers and get a Euros account, put in XXX amount. From there you can open a new betfair account with that E-mail address and put in XXX Euros. Then go to EuroBookieA, and play the two together (I assume thats what you want to be doing?), then when thats settled, do the same at EuroBookieB, etc etc etc.

Maybe everytime your total Euros are 500 above the initial amount, withdraw that as a cheque from Mbookers and start again. The day you "retire" take out the whole lot but before then you will have had quite a few 500 Euro payouts. At the end of the line the exchange rate may be better or worse but you will still be up and its meant in the time doing it any fluctuations dont effect you.

If your just going to be doing a few accounts in Euros though thats probably overkill just pay the fees/use XE.com as a good guess, and take your chances its only going to be a few £s each time.
