    Sportsbooks that lower limits/dont pay...

    Wouldnt it be bad for business to kick people out of your book because they made money? I know it can be argued but shouldnt a book be making money regardless of who wins? Even people who arent making money are aiming for that goal so if you knew others that had done it but werent paid or were kicked out, then why even bother betting there in the first place. Obviously they do it at some online books because people here are saying it has happened to them (dont know if you can name them but if so, I would like to know which ones are good and bad) but does anyone know of this ever happening in vegas? I know casinos will kick out card counters even though it is legal and the smartest way to play blackjack if you can find one or two deck tables.

    Because books don't always seek balanced action.

    Books almost NEVER get balanced action, especially in smaller sports.
