    Bookmaker Limitations

    Hey guys,

    I'm a little frustrated lately with the handicapping process. I've been trying to find an edge any way I can, whether it's finding the best price at various sportsbooks, looking for arbs, observing line movements, reverse line movements, middles, fading heavily favored public bets, etc. and still, no profitable plays thus far. Well, some, but like any other amateur bettor, it all averages out to an abysmal 51%.

    So, I've turned to arbing lately, but that too seems difficult because many opportunities are for European bettors, and the base sportsbooks such as Pinnacle, and many others simply don't accept US players. In addition, I've heard many complain about being limited after making a certain amount, which eliminates potential profit. Long story short, I know this has been discussed in the tank before, but what does one do about limitations, whether is relates to your location, your profit level, etc. and are there any books that simply never limit you depending on your profits? Thanks.

    if u live in the states u either get seriously high tech or its going to be a tough gig man. i mean to make more per hour than min wage.

    to find 3% arbs on average (pretty good if u include mistakes and other things) u need to roll over 50K to make enough for a trailer and some food sounds easier than it is.

    hit SIA and Bodog and interwetten till u get banned. just bet the soft line small-ish or pretty easy to get a edge calculation of pinny's line.

    good luck
