    Can you get banned from SBR book?

    Is it possible to get banned from SBR book if you are too sharp? No names mentioned.

    single handily almost crashed the whole points system. He's the one that made then make the ridiculous low limits, ban mma parlays and limit sportsbook cash to 1000.

    There were some loopholes in the software (and weakness in the management) that allowed players to place highly correlated bets giving a huge edge.

    Trixtrix exploited these to the full.

    No one has ever been banned for being sharp. Trix helped us close an open loop hole. He lost back a fair share of his fortune trying to proof that he was sharp.

    On limits; we have lowered some low volume categories like Russian and African soccer. We offer these but they are very difficult to keep up with time changes. We raised baseball late last season so sports getting volume will get higher limits.

    sure he did, why did you make 1000 lifetime sportsbook cash after he cashed out? And in the Grumperz thread you directly told trixtrix this community wasn't for him.

    There's a huge difference between being "sharp" and exploiting loopholes. The latter is a way many of the industry vets make a profit - nothing wrong with that, elsewhere.

    The SBR Book deals one lineset and doesn't give the durito's and trixtrix' different limits. Those that only play to make the occasional past-post or take a shot would eventually find that they are unwelcome. The SBR Sportsbook rules page touches on that.

    FLC helpful as always. Don't see why more posters can't be friendly like him.

    Sometimes you ask certain other posters a question and you'd think you'd ask them if you could douse their newborn baby in gasoline....

    I almost did. Bet the limit on a game that had 2 minutes left in regulation.

    Received a stern warning.

    correlated parlays are not exploiting. SBR's own Justin7 would agree.

    I'm speaking generally and to reemphasize what John said - trixtrix was never banned, limited or restricted in any way.

    Neither did I until Someone else had posted a sbr sportsbook parlay with PL's. I asked about it and Lou turned them on for me.

    Limits for me are 100,000 across the board on everything. O/c, I've gone from couple thousand pts to zero many times.

    Perhaps some explaining to do about the different limits. Doesn't bother me since I am point broke though. Happy New Year to all.
    Points Awarded:

    MadTiger gave MexicanStallion 2 SBR Point(s) for this post.
