    The safest books are safe, although obviously not infinitely safe, and a large roll doesn't tempt them to try and take it. The risk is that the book goes entirely broke or otherwise faces a disaster, a la Full Tilt. If you have use for the money at 5 Dimes, put it there, and don't obsess over it.

    personally for my situation i would start withdrawing once i hit 10,000. the closest i came was getting to around 8400 at betonline before going on a cold streak. you need to leave enough in there where you can still bet substantial and get a decent payout (of course depending on your financial status).

    i agree though, the less you have in the less tempted you are to use it and it forces you to rethink your bets.

    "but the bottom line is how comfortable do you feel , what is YOUR limit"

    Exactly! Everyboby has your own limit, don't let there more than you can lose.

    I think the OP is not talking about individual's limit or comfort. It has more to do with books trying to take your money once u hit certain balance. I would like to know about that as well. I can be rich and have 100k in a book, which would be peanuts to me, but might be something a book would try to screw you out of.

    Yes. And likewise, ridiculous answers by those taking the question seriously.

It is too easy to reload and the legality of offshore betting in the US makes limiting your financial investment/exposure in these companies a wise move. Why have the unneccessary risk of having much more than a weekend's worth of bets on any site.
    3 to 5 thousand is a weekend's worth of bets for me.

    Frankly, your posts on this topic make no sense. Who said anything about unnecessary stress?
    I would guess that the large majority of gamblers have less than 3k deposited at online books.
    For the casual gambler who does this as a recreational hobby, it's clearly worth their time to keep "only" 2-3k at an online book.
    Shit, if your unit size is $50, 3k is 60 units, plenty of scrilla.

    I know this is a bad time to bring it up, but its just like gun control after a shooting. Live and learn. No one stays in business without making money, no different for sportsbooks. Get those 50k balances out of any book now!!!!!!

    No one can answer this question. It depends on your bankroll/wealth and risk tolerance. As an extreme example, the answer will vary GREATLY between a multi-millionaire and someone with very little disposable income.

    A multi millionaire doesn't want anyone running off with a percentage of his money just like the hobo doesn't want anybody running off with a percentage of his cardboard box. No different.

    Sure it's different. It's risk tolerance. Just like someone more wealthy might be willing to accept more risk in investing in stocks than someone living paycheck to paycheck. No one wants to lose money in the stock market, but they choose to accept some risk. No one wants to have an offshore close up and take their money, but some choose to accept that risk as well. If you want zero risk, don't use offshores, don't but stock, don't start a business... keep your money in the bank, bonds, etc.
