    TBH there is very little difference between IBC and SBOBet and bear in mind that there are a few sites which are essentially IBCBet clones (12Bet for example).
    Canbet and SBOBET are clones and have same exact lines although Canbet takes smaller bet amounts

    12 Bet is nice but very small limits even on soccer

    IBc has a website and they do respond to e-mails

    AFAIK = As far as I know.

    Pinny no, they won't limit you except if you are playing in very obscure markets (Futsal, European volleyball etc.) and even then they tend to do it be offering low limits on openers to everyone.

    Bookmaker, I don't know - I rarely play there (even less since they took away my access to their loyalty program).

    Is there some kind of pro status you register under for sites like Pinny?

    Do any of you guys wager out of another country? Ex, American in Canada? I have a lot of questions, it would be cool if I could PM someone.

    They obviously won't share it or you'll need to pay them something and then again they might be scams there's tons of these pay for their tips and system for betting so on and it's not really accurate and far from it.

    SirJones24,
    Nice of you to quote me, though I must make sure that you are aware that pro, not pro has nothing to do with making money by wagers or wagering!
    Pick and choose your spots unless you have a fair amount of time on your hands to do research. If that is the case, grind it out, NO chasing and be sure to blow off at least a joint or two a week! No hard drugs!
    Good Luck.

    i guess to be a pro would mean getting paid for wagering bets and you obviously need to be good at it. Something like being a pro pc gamer for eg.

    Well i would really like to know how do you turn pro? I know for being a sports pro they usually pick them from high school or university that sort of thing but i'm not sure if they allow someone not affliated in a school to become a pro. Well betting doesn't have high schools(hahaha) so i'm clueless about it. Are there tryouts?

    I'm of the belief that there are very, very few people out in the world that can handle the pressure and stress of gambling for a living.....and actually making money doing it.

    Every bettor and gambler on the planet will tell you they are a winner, that they can do it. In actuality there are very few that can pull it off.

    Also, probably not as glamorous as it's made out to be.
