    I got my baseball betting limits cut big time today at sportsbook because I'm winning

    I guess sportsbook.ag only wants losers because I received an email today that my baseball limits are down to 1k per game vs 3k before. I have been on a big hot streak but I've been a customer for 14 years and now they do this. not smart on their part as i am due for a cold streak they should be increasing my limits!

    has anyone had this happen or heard of this? thanks to justin i opened an account at Bookmaker as they seem better suited for bigger players.

    Yeah im not complaining except its gonna take a year or more to get my winnings out. They take really long to process withdrawals. they have good customer service so I'm bummed I have to do my baseball betting elsewhere. plus they have a nice website.

    Sportsbook are crooks kiss your cash goodbye. Surprised they actually limited someone who they had no intention of paying anyways?

    i think the no pay complaints are a misconception with them. They always have paid me even if it takes way too long. I have never not been paid. This will be the ultimate test tho as they owe me a ton of money. I have received a couple withdrawals in the last few weeks but I have over 20 still pending. If they stop paying me I will use SBR to go after them.

    I don't really want to put amounts on here but its large. however I'm probably still down with them since i started in the late 90s. so in essence I'm just getting back money I lost over many years. it has been a great run tho. If all I ever bet on was baseball i would be in real good shape. to me its the easiest sport to beat the books at.

    yes, a lot of books allow a book to book transfer. normally books have a list of other books they will do this with. I would ask bookmaker if they can do a b2b with your old book. then you can get your money out.

    if bookmaker does not, find out if 5dimes, heritage, any other book that allows US customers. Hopefully, one of the books will hook it up.

    and broadway i think ur cards have a legit chance to win it all again. none of these teams look unbeatable and the cards just have that it factor.

    they will pay me but it will take a long time. they can't close my account they will be out of business. they always pay but they just take a long time because they have more customers than most other books.

    sportsbook gets a bad reputation around here but they pay. Like justin7 said, they haven't had problems paying out since 2009.

    I am pretty sure both books have to be willing to do it, and after a brief conversation with sportsbook.ag, it comes as no surprise they don't.

    Your Question: Does your book to b2b transfers?
    Please wait, an operator will be with you shortly.
    You are now chatting with John L. (Customer Care Agent) - Sportsbook.com English Live Chat
    16:48John L.: Do you mean if we do bank transfer ?
    16:49K: No.
    16:49K: Can I transfer funds from one book.
    16:49K: Like 5Dimes or Matchbook.
    16:49K: Directly to your book.
    16:49K: Book to book transfer.
    16:49John L.: No sir, that is not possible
    16:50K: Never fukkin' heard of your book anyway, pal.
    16:50K: God bless.
    Hopefully you get your money and you can always file a complaint using SBR.

    God bless.

    I was told by bookmaker that they do not do transfers with sportsbook.ag because they have had problems in the past with collecting from sportsbook. this of course makes me nervous but who knows. the biggest issue to me here is for US larger players it really makes little sense to deal with books offshore because if you do get lucky and win a lot you have to wait months if not a year to get your money out. There stated timeframe for withdrawals is 6 to 8 weeks but they fail to tell you that they will only process one payout per week at most so if you win a lot you really won't get paid in 6 to 8 weeks given the check and wire amount limits.

    I won a lot more than that. they have processed a couple withdrawals so far. a check for 2500 and a wire for 9k but made it clear to me that wires will not be every week more likely one per month.

    Yeah, this guy had won upwards of $20k or more. They used to have a debit method that allowed large withdrawals at a time.

    Yeah I had the DC option for a month and that got shut down pretty quick. That was nice while it lasted. I wish I could just get on a flight to costa rica and get my money in person. I know part of the slow paying is just to get me to keep gambling so I give some of it back.

    This is why it's best to open up accounts at several books. Take advantage of the free monthly payouts, and if you need more frequent payouts it becomes less of a hassle. The old addage, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is a good one to remember.
