Question about Matchbook or other betting exchanges available to USA

All sports bettor Americans know how much we are f...ed because of the idiotic policy of the government against online betting, because we are banned from a ton of books and betting exchanges.

We can still use a handful of good books, but the most painful is that we can't use BetFair, because seems to me that all the good manual and automated (with bots) trading methods are designated exclusively for BetFair.

For US is available Matchbook, based in Costa Rica, and maybe 1-2 even smaller exchanges, but I can't recall the names.

My question would be anyone knows any kind of manual or automated system, method designed to use for Matchbook or other exchanges available to USA?
If yes, let's debate them!

Let's try to make some money at Matchbook, because sometimes it makes me crazy thinking about how much money I lose because I can't use BetFair

.

If no such systems and methods out there, why you think so?
Just because the daily average trading volume at Matchbook is so tiny, that is not worth to design any systems or bots for, or because Matchbook's bet placing software and interface is totally different from BetFair, and makes not possible to develop systems for?

Last, if at Matchbook (and other exchanges for US) the trading volume is very small, why in the world, when is known that Americans spend huge money (illegally, lol) using the bookmakers who are letting them in?

if you can't use betfair because you're american and plan on doing serious betting check out the requirements for 'corporate identity verification'. they are a joke. you can register a simple company in Scotland or anywhere else outside the US as cheap as possible then use that to bet. there are plenty of ppl that will do this for you and act as the directors, so you can verify easily.

i'm assuming they only verify your corporate account once, so you don't need to pay for director ID the following year, just the standard yearly renewal fee.
