Main factors- taxes or lack of on winning's,goverment reg's,obtaining visa,live gambling,ect. I searched for any threads on this topic to no avail. Note-I am a U.S. citizen. I am assuming this thread is fine along the lines of gossip.

If I were a UK citizen I would say the UK but as a US citizen it's probably Canada because we have to pay taxes anyway.

Ya from what I understand a US citizen has to play income tax for many years (up to 10 or so) after moving and living in another country. I learned that from reading captzeebo's blog, pretty crappy deal imo.

France can be pretty good, some nice live actions in paris, winnings not taxed.

Pretty expensive cost of life though.

Country like Bahamas with a direct flight to vegas every weekend?

i'd have to say Argentina. i'm a US citizen so that sucks, but buenos aires has got to be one of the sickest cities for 20 something males and is pretty damn cheap on top of that.
