DSI cutting limits, what about Bookmaker?

[zstevens]

I'm aware that DSI is limiting some players to $500, a wager or perhaps less in some cases? If the line moves is a player allowed to make another wager or is $500 the total limit regardless of the line moving or not? Also, what about bookmaker? Is there anyone who has had their limits cut @ bookmaker? Bookmaker being the American version of Cris, whose slogan is we never cut a players limits, I'm curious if the Cris slogan holds true for it's American counterpart bookmaker. Thanks Mates.

zstevens,

Welcome to the board. Have you by chance put the same play in at both Bookmaker and DSI? What are you betting? That, and two people are hitting the same opening line for above the max is usually the only time we hear of limits changes.

DSI limited me to $1000 per wager for no reason other than the fact that I had some success for a 6 month period. Frankly, I wasn't even ahead by all that much.

I was told over the phone that the reason for the limit was strictly because I was winning and that it had nothing to do with breaking any rules. Futhermore, they said that they would limit me to $500 per wager if I kept winning and to a lower amount possibly if I kept winning after that.

They did add that I could wager more than the limit if I would call them thus allowing them to review their line and change it first. However, I never tested them out on this assertion because I wasn't placing $1000 or higher wagers anyway. I remain skeptical. The whole thing is not very "professional" in my mind.

Regarding Bookmaker, I haven't used them much to have any relevant expierences.

Hey, no you cannot place a second wager after the line moved if you already reached the limit.

Bookmaker/cris do cut limits in certain cases, mostly if they think accounts are related (double hits) to each other.
But most players will never have their limits cut there, that´s right.

I once did that on mlb 5innings, coz if was scalping paradise...
Had a note in my account some day that limits are now $1000, with the reason too many double hits on MLB 5innings

When i sent them an email stating that i didn´t know it wasn´t allowed, they removed it and said that i just shouldn´t do it again.
So that was cool.

I'm down to $250 max on everything at DSI. Not sure if my limits are the likewise at Cris, as I have not had that account funded for quite some time. In my case, I can hit the $250 again if the line changes, but at this point it's more or less a waste of time anyway with such low limits.

[TeamPlayer]

I believe Stumpage is right on. DSI might let you bet above their pathetic limits if they first change the line for the worst.

DSI has gotten much more aggressive cutting limits. My account is straights-only, $500 max per contest. They and WSEX are not true pro books. Maybe there needs to be a semi-pro designation, adding 5Dimes.

Bookmaker will only collar if you're seriously f'ing with their limits in some way. Otherwise, you can (attempt to) beat them all you want.

Rickysteve,
Is your reference to WSEX because they often have problems with payouts or did WSEX also limit you? Sorry for changing the subject for a moment.

Clearly, DSI is limiting everybody aggressively which stinks. But good to know that Bookmaker isn't doing that.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Always amusing when these crap books can't even hold their own with 20c lines, they have to limit as well.

[Casi]

The funny thing is, DSI has sharp lines coz of Bookmaker too. Its weak.

They cut limits and delay like the rest of the recommended recreational books. Their payout problems are another issue altogether.

Not letting you repop a line isn't even semi-pro. That's straight up rec.

Does a foreign sportsbook have any recourse if you ********** deposits? Thank you for your replies!

The 1995 Treaty of Bern states they're allowed to either take possession of your goats or kill you in the face.

That hits the spot.
DSI is small time now.

[TeamPlayer]

I'll never play at DSI again. Used them last year because SportsbookReview lists them with a "Professional" rating. Now that I know the truth from first-hand experience and others comments on this board, I'm done with that RECREATIONAL book.

SBR needs to update their "Professional" ratings list because it 3 years out-of-date.

[JoshW]

In the past if you hit Bookmaker and DSI with the same bet quickly, they would cut your limits at DSI, but leave them the same at Bookmaker.

[DIF]

Happened to me too. Dont bet quick on 2 accounts. Then they cut you.

[Emily_Haines]

You can circumvent bookmakers limits by doing a two team parlay with a huge ML favorite and the game you like in addition to your straight bet.

Nice that SBR changed their homepage layout....maybe they'll get around to updating their "Professional/Recreational" ratings in the next decade. Changing DSI to a "Recreational" rating would be a good start

[d2bets]

What were your limits cut to?

[RonPaul2008]

Hasn't happened to me yet.
