    Just got limited by 188bet
    Hi everyone,

    Just got limited by 188. The funny thing is that last month I lost money, although i have been very successful in the past. Why now? Anyone been limited by them recently?

                    this is possibly the most stupid thing i have ever read ... sbobet and 188bet have almost the same lines,so if it is wrong line ,it is at both ?!

                      200 per bet gets you to 150,000/month wagered? That doesn't sound right.

                            Given the amount of different leagues he bets on, 750 bets a month isn't that far-fetched to be honest.

                                There's nothing suspicious about being limited by 188bet.

                                  (25) $200 bets per day is far-fetched, to be honest.

                                      Yes I find that easily believable. On weekends probably close to 100 picks a day to make up for the other days when soccer is slower.

                                        Yeah hadn't even thought of live betting. Story seems perfectly legit to me.

                                              hi! newbie here. have you tried any sports broker? i am searching on the internet and many of them says they do not limit winners. as based on your comment that it happens in the world of online bookmakers. so if i have accounts on the bookmakers, i will also be limited if i always win?

                                                  Why play at 188bet when you can play at sbobet and have higher limits and more tolerance for winners??

                                                  Same lines basically

                                                    25 bets a day? I don't think I have ever made 25 bets in a month. You must be doing well or they would not have limited your betting amount...

                                                      You must be doing very very well. Limits there are not bad for most of bettors.

                                                          My 188bet account was limited and at the time I was a high volume soccer bettor, on major leagues like EPL, Bundesliga etc. I didn't bet on any obscure markets. Maybe did some lower league soccer betting but by far the majority of my action was on the big leagues.

                                                          A friend of mine is similarly limited but he played on a lot of obscure markets so obviously believes that is the reason why.

                                                          Like many books, I think they just limit if they review your play and determine you an unprofitable customer. That will no doubt include, but not be limited to betting vulnerable lines on obscure markets.

                                                          In my case, from memory I was perhaps taking lines when they were better than SBO (SBO has always been my asian of choice).

                                                          So perhaps that is the reason why.

                                                          If I recall correctly, unlike soft books they did say to me (after I contacted them on live chat) that it's possible that the limits could change after an account review if management deemed my betting patterns to have changed......

                                                          Not that I would have the chance to do that on £10 bets.

                                                                  Wish I had contacted them now - my account would have been a large enough sample size to indicate which way the account was heading (winning/losing).

                                                                  Theoretically it should have been a losing account, as I was arbing against slower moving books, but as I said in an earlier post I was using 188 exclusively when the price was better than SBO or Pinny, so it is possible I was an overall winner - we're talking very tight margins here......
