    when do books "watch" you?

    let me preface this by saying i know i am by no means "sharp" or a great gambler, i have been getting real good beats latelyso back in april i deposited $50 into 5dimes. always bet realy small($1-2 per bet) back then, as of recent i have been winning tons, thanks to a certain poster here and also by my own plays, long story short i have pretty much been doubling every sunday. over the past 3 weeks, i have taken out about $250-$300 every monday to help with bills i have piled up, and usually get back to between $450-500 by weeks end. my question is, i always hear about people being limited or something happening to them when they win a lot. i am pretty new to this whole gambling world, so i was wondering if this could happen. i figured im way to small of a player for them to care, but was just curious.any input is appreciated

    I would be willing to bet that there's not a single guy on this forum that's been limited before. Mostly a gamblers urban legend. Guys here just aren't winning, and the guys that are, never mention limiting.

    The guys that mention it are usually those young guys who pretend to be Sharp. We let them go on, but we roll our eyes.

    thats kind of how i figured they would look at, but like i said im pretty new to this, just curiousso when people say they are being limited on how much thay can wager its usually just BS so they can make themselves look good? funny but sad they need to do that ha

    Kid making 1-2 dollar bets is worried about being limited. He's worried Tony will have him betting pennies on games and wont be able to make ends meet. You just cant make this shit up

    i said thats how i started, and got to where i am now. i didnt really mean limited in the sense of per every bet, but as in can they do anything to stop me taking out money every week..pretty sure its a dead issue now though, got the straight answers already, dont really need the bullshit talk

    I agree with jj for once. They think you are a square on a heater, they love your action. Now if you are betting ahead of steam, that may change things. But u soynd like an armchair capper, so you've got nothing to worry about. Plus square nation has been on a roll lately, they know you're due for some variance. My advice: case yourself for a couple weeks.

    even if this guy goes busto, he only deposited 50 bucks, he withdrew 20x that already so no matter what he will be profitable

    congrats kid, keep winning, and remember, if the losing streak comes, take a break, dont give it all back

    I would be willing to bet that you are not willing to bet! This must have been sarcasm.

    I believe in starting small, but never draw winnings out each week. increase bets, try to build a real bankroll----ran $250. up to $14,000 at bet jamaica----started drawing out $2000. a week----drew out $8000. lost rest of it back. 4 years still waiting for another streak like that.

    again, that is how i started and built the roll overtime. i now bet anywhere from 15-50 a bet. ive been trying to use perfect bankroll management, using 1-2% as a unit and betting accordingly, which seems to be working fine for me. and yes i am taking out the money to pay off debts, i got arrested for a bs ticket i had way back when, needed to pay over $600 to get out of jail that night to be at work in the am, and have to pay my $400 a month car payment that same week. needless to say im strapped for cash bad.
