    Sports interaction limit?

    I recently got capped at 2% of their max bet. Has this happened to anyone else & any way to reverse this?

    If you use online sports betting sites regularly and you are not a complete mug, then you would know that this will happen with pretty much all bookmakers at some point and they will not reverse the limitation once they've decided on it. If you are just starting off and this is the first time you've experienced limitations, you better get used to it.

    No. Everyone starts with their minimum limits at Pinny. If you are a large sharp then that's where the limits will stay. For the rest of us they get higher.


    It's correct that books will almost never reverse a decision to limit you. Best just to take it as a compliment you are too good for them and move on.

    There is an article here that explains why it might happen and how to avoid it: Why do betting sites lower wagering limits: Is it for winning?

    There are an extremely small percentage of sharp bookmakers that take bets off consistent winners, and that group of bookies includes Pinnacle. The rest are European style complete pussies and will show you the door very quickly if you show signs of having a clue about what you're doing. You'll soon work out which are the sharp bookmakers and which are the European style ones.

    Sportsbooks have two options managing risk. They can follow the market price very close so they don't get exposed or they can get rid of players who are following the market very close.

    These days with technology being what it is and players generally more savvy with stocks and an understanding of markets, sportsbooks tend to stay closer to the market price than a few years ago. SIA used to let sharps win up to a certain amount using the lines for gamblers and that would trigger a review and possible exit.
