jack55 - I'm more than sure that if you start betting, you won't get a knock on the door with the police waiting for you.

red8 - I agree that people usually don't have any problems with the law when they bet without any hacks or something like that. But most bettors don't get any problems, and you can bet with no worries. Also, I highly recommend you check this page https://www.dimers.com/best-books and start betting on one of the sportsbooks there just to make sure you won't get scammed.
