Consider Vonage for your home phone service, you can add a Canadian phone number for $5 per month. A Canadian address is easily obtained, try the UPS Store / Mailboxes etc. Money Mart or similar service providers, I have used Money Mart as my address in the past, just convert your "box" number to "Apt" ie box 201 is Apt 201.

I believe you can setup a proxy server or anonymous web service to mask/hide your US based IP address.

Getting a valid "legit" Canadian ID such as Drivers license is not difficult, I would imagine those closer to the border would be more motivated to go through the process than someone in Arizona or Florida. Prepaid **** and Master Cards are also easily obtained if you cant get approved for a regular card (your US credit history isn't used in Canadian applications for credit & vice versa)

Americans are allowed to visit Canada for up to 6 months without a ****, anything longer than 6 months requires permission from the Canadian Government or a return to the US and then back to Canada.

Americans CAN NOT (Legally) work in Canada unless they have been issued the proper permits etc.

As a Canadian with family in both countries and who has spent considerable time in the US I can tell you that it can be done.

I dont know a single book that verifies ID's so you wouldnt have to even go there. Plenty of fake ID's online.

I guess some folks will give it a try and report back. Getting a valid address is the key.

Depending on the payment method used some books ask for proof of address from a Drivers license & Utility/Phone bill.
I have been asked for these things from Canbet and other UK based books.

For security reasons I personally prefer using UK books that have brick and mortar shops as well as online shops.
(William Hill, Bet365, Coral, Ladbrokes, Canbet etc.)

I know that there are better lines from Costa Rican based sportsbooks but I'm more comfortable dealing with the UK.

Moneybookers has also asked me to verify my identity/address.
