    What is the most that one can bet on Moneyline?

    It seem like if you have a lot of money and want to bet on the good team knowing (at least well over 95%) win like Alabama against Fl Atlantic this Saturday.

    What is the MAXIMUM amount that one can bet on the MoneyLine?


    Also, beside betting it online, do you guys know any casino where I can walk-in and place the bet on Alabama ML this weekends?


    I am seriously want to make a very big bet as the same time, I don't want to fool myself because this is the first time that I am committing to it.

    Please advice.

    Casinos and offshore books have limits.

    This is why it's pretty much pointless to take a 50 point favorite on the ML.

    Do you really want to bet $2400 on Bama ML to win one dollar?

    I utilize the heavily favored M/L only when I don't see any value in any other games. I used this tactic 2 Saturdays ago when most lost. I didn't make a lot of coin, but I didn't lose that Saturday at all.
    Be careful because it could be your luck you'll be betting the next Appalachian St. Vs. Michigan game or University of Loisiana @ Monroe Vs. Arkansas game. Your real value in M/L bets is when you are laying no juice and take a dog that's getting +6 or 7.
    Remember Vegas got all those pretty lights and fancy casinos from M/L bettors and going against the public.

    I'm sure there were some people out there that Risked a lot of money on top 5 Michigan against Appalachian State and lost their ass in the process of trying to win $30 bucks.

    What about the year Stanford beat USC as like a 42 point underdog?

    Anything is possible. Alabama won't lose but why even risk it?

    You almost have to parlay several heavy favorites, but then you eventually run into trouble.
