I really like this bookie and i don't want to lose this option now when money is flowing my way from that source, but having too much (for my standards) money at one account is making me feel uneasy for some reason.. We are talking about Euro bookie which are pretty quick to limit with all kind of excuses (and before anyone asks there's no arbing involved), anyone with some experience regarding the issue ?
    So what's the point of winning if you can't access the money?

    I've heard it said that withdrawing is a trigger for limiting but I can't say I've experienced that.

    I've been limited at all the Euro books but I never associated it with a withdrawal request.

    If you are into this activity to make money, you need to treat it like a business.

    It's tough enough to beat the vig, but once you add any fees associated with deposits and/or withdrawls, it makes it almost impossible.

    This is one reason why finding a solid "outlaw" book(s) is a MUST.

    Personally, I am not comfortable with more than $50k combined in all of my offshore accounts. I have let my balances get over this; however I usually take advantages of the free withdrawals.

    I have done the P2P, but I will NEVER do that again. It's like burning money.

    Bottom line, you should play no more than 2%-3% of your bankroll. Depending on how much you want to play per game should depend on how often you will withdrawal.

    Even at 2%-3% of your bankroll, and if you're a long-term winning player, you can still lose your roll. Thus is why I keep cash on hand at home in case this happens.

    No problem accessing the money, but i'm worried i'll have to say goodbye to my currently most profitable bookie (because of ridiculous limits) if i withdraw to much at once (and we're not talking about those insane numbers mentioned by grantingyou. )
