    Let's have some fun... Your nominations for the most paranoid sportsbooks

    Quick to boot/ limit
    The types that think you are a criminal for wagering on a $50 prop or anything that is not a straight bet teaser or parlay.
    Ones that even you dump a ton of money but limits your ass right away (even if you're stupid enough to play on the online casino they still limit your ass)

    1. Wagerweb- account closed less than 2 weeks and insulted on top of everything very unprofessional this was at least 7 years ago.
    2. Looselines- why do you offer quarter and prop lines if you don't like any action on them
    3. Youwager- accused me of being in some Syndicate from New Jersey that was really funny

    Honorable mention : betallsports ( if they still exist)

    Wagerweb. Booted after 2 weeks of killing them on NFL. Haven't been booted from looselines yet. Not near as strong on basketball as I am NFL though.

    Sportsinteraction gave me a congratulatory email for beating the house after a couple wins, and showed me the door.

    The Bet Phoenix group. Win a few $$$, they drastically limit you, call you "non recreational', take away things promised at sign up, like reduced vig "for life", free half point, free payout, etc.

    All 3 of those are solid books. First time I have ever heard of somebody being banned from them. I have played at all 3 and had winning streaks where I cashed out no problem. Obviously you are a scammer. Tell the truth. How many offshore books are you truly banned from for being a scammer? Is that why you started the thread?

    Those are very much recreational books, anyone sharp is going to get booted pretty quick. It's how they work.

    books are so stupid when they limit your wagers. when i had high limits, I had a tendency to always go all-in on a game, and more times than not I would lose at some point and have to reload. Now that these "scared" books drastically reduced my limits, I don't have that problem any more..and basically just flat bet everything. Now i'm actually getting payouts instead of having to reload all the time. lol. guess I should send them a thank you note for cutting my limits.

    Themike78: Excuse me? Who the hell you think you are calling me a scammer when you dont know shit about me?
    Not that its any of your concern but I am a legitimate bettor and customer of the books for almost 20 years.
    Ive had and have accounts with the top books for years if not decades on some of them rated A+ here.
    If you can learn how to READ a post and not make accusations based on absolutely nothing
    A) name of thread is nominations for quick to boot or limit, not the financial stability of the sportsbook (i.e. solid book)
    B) I have, like you, over 1000 posts and am not some joe schmoe with 20 and under posts who joined 1 week ago looking to bash/scam/shill/whatever. If your looking to be a scammer crusader, I suggest quickly looking at join date/# of posts. (sports forum posting 101)
    C)If you care this much to comment in this thread, why dont you look at other threads on those books and I guarantee you (since you say its your first time hearing about someone getting shown the door/limited quickly at ANY of the 3 books I mentioned) and you'll quickly see I'm not the first or last. There is one poster in this thread alone that got banned from wagerweb.

    Sometimes I truly wonder WTF people's deal is with idiotic assumptions without doing the actual/factual work/research.

    You like those books and use them good for you. Do I and everyone else on this forum have to be a "scammer" to have our limits cut or shown the door?
    This is based on my experience and opinion, your agenda or purpose not sure.
    Why dont you try saying something like "really? Ive played at those books and never had an issue" instead of making assumptions outta your ass.

    Acesportsbook: Booted for winning too much in Roulette in about 2 weeks. Yes, in Roulette. Told me that I was not a "profitable player" to them. Got paid a few K less then in my balance on a weekly basis. At least I got paid. Very unpleasant experience.

    YouWager: Back when the Yellow Union was still paying out, they got me blacklisted by using a blocked name to send me my money. Filed a SBR complaint, got paid eventually then the big old boot. Unprofessional.

    I dont believe any of you because you're all scammers and themike78 never had issues with these books.

    my goodness, Roulette? Wow. Play a game with 5% house edge and get booted. No answer to that one what theyre thinking.

    That is the only game I play. Roulette. I was winning constantly everyday so they decided it was too much for them to handle.

    Believe it or not, you can actually win in Roulette.

    Mathematically, it is impossible to win at roulette, there is a healthy fixed house percentage in the long run at least no?

    Dude is obviously just playing the greens. You get the house advantage that way.

    Nope. I never play the zeros. Roulette is all about how and how much you bet. With discipline, money can be made.
