    BoDog giving me the boot?
    After a few years at BoDog out of nowhere today I rec’d this message in my account inbox this morning....

    Bodog Customer Service
    Feb 17, 2019

    We're writing this message to inform you our Book Managers, after careful deliberation and investigation, have decided to adjust your wagering limits which may vary from market to market.

    We assure you we didn't make this decision in haste.

    Should this decision mean we do not meet your needs as a Sportsbook, please contact our Customer Service Department and we'll be happy to process a withdrawal for your current balance.

    If there's anything else we can help you with, please let us know.

    Regards,

    Sports Customer Service

    sports@bodog.eu


    I have no clue why or what has happened. I responded to them asking why?

    Has this happened to anyone else?

        Did they ever give you an explanation? Or did you just get a similar message to what they sent me?

            pretty strange, considering you're not a big-time better but maybe if you have a consistent edge on a market they think you might amp up your wagers. Pretty chickenshit honestly but they're a rec book


            What markets are you heading if you don't mind ?

              Most of my plays are on junior hockey. I don’t know of any other books that offer the CHL.

              BoDog seems to cater to Canadians.

                Yeah I couldn't log in one day so I called support and they said we no longer honor your action, told the cunnt to go penetrate herself and hung up.

                        That'll do it.

                        Most action on a tiny market.

                        The trader probably feels like they have no chance to beat you and it sounds like they have plenty of history to base that on.

                          They were the first book I ever had, I won 20k off them. They took 9.5 months to pay me. I left and never looked back. Consider this the best thing that can happen to you. Theres plenty of better books out there for you to switch to

                            How about some Jr hockey winners. If Bodog has Jr hockey, I wonder if Bovada does as well?

                              Welcome to the world of what happens when you win, fishfan. Consider it a badge of honor and move on. Like others have said, once you figure out a niche and start cashing, the book will send you packing.
                              I personally can't stand bodog. Although bodog becky was pretty hot! Wonder what ever happen to her.

                                  If you’re betting $20-$100, you’ll do barely any damage to them, even if you win at a 65% clip or something similarly absurd and impossible.

                                  There must be something you’re not telling us Did you create multiple accounts?

                                    Bet365 is the most notorious banner and limiter, even worse than Heritage.

                                    If you’ve bet on bet365 for more than a month and haven’t been banned, or at least limited to $3.65, you are a terrible bettor and need to post your picks on SBR so the rest of us can fade you. Seriously, a typical square who wins 50% of their bets will quickly get banned or limited on bet365.

                                      Absolutely not. This is why I don’t understand it. In addition I’ve been breaking about even over the last month and a half.

                                      I win at junior hockey and give it back on the other sports. I know, I’m undisciplined.

                                      After logging back in, it appears as though they’re only limiting my junior hockey plays as I’ve made a college basketball play without limitation. When I tried to make another junior hockey play, I was limited to $3.75

                                      I’ve been up and down but basically have the same bankroll as I did before Christmas.

                                                  Every book to a degree has limits

                                                  Booting winners is a tremendous money making business model and that’s what they’re here for

                                                  They don’t realize the people they’re booting would lose it all back because there’s no such thing as a professional

                                                  Mainly people they get booted our bonus whores and arbors They are not winning gamblers

                                                        I don’t know why? I’ve been wagering the same way since I began at BoDog. Normally I wager between $20 to $100. Sometimes a couple hundred. But never higher then a couple hundred, so it’s not like I’m a big player. I like to parlay heavy favourites. I’ve been wagering the same way since I started.

                                                        I have no clue why or what has happened. I responded to them asking why?

                                                        Has this happened to anyone else?
                                                        It happened because of profiling. Lines with very short-priced favourites are normally subject to lower juice. The line is also normally adjusted so the price is bigger on the favourite and smaller on the dog because that's normally where the risk is. Parlays with selections around -1200 will show very low levels of profitability long-term for the book. This is not to say that you're going to win but statistically you're not worth the book's time.

                                                          It’s the league NHL players get drafted from. It’s the alternative to NCAA.

                                                          It’s the Canadian hockey version of NCAA football.

                                                            The trader probably feels like they have no chance to beat you and it sounds like they have plenty of history to base that on.
                                                            True, Books don't like to take a beating on tiny markets and props, but they'll typically just limit you in these areas and leave your limits on major sports alone.
