Dear salem,

Vitually no online sportsbook accepts American Express cards anymore
after there has been some serious legal trouble with the credit card
company concerning the use of their product for gambling:
"American Express and Discover haven't allowed credit-card gambling
transactions for quite some time. This is mentioned here:
'We do not do business with illegal or very high-risk industries,"
American Express spokeswoman Joanne Fisher told the New York Times.
"We have to be in a position that we know we're going to be paid.'"

However, I managed to find two survivors:

Havana Gaming
Online Casino and Sportsbook
http://www.havanagaming.com/
E-Mail: webmaster@havanagaming.com

SportsbookPro
Online Betting
http://www.sportsbookpro.com/
E-Mail: support@sportsbookpro.com

Even these two were hard to find. Though the odds are bad, some more
might hide somewhere in the Web, but these two sportsbooks should at
least cover your basic sports betting needs.
