Down to what per bet? Less than a $100?

Depends on the type of market and time of day. NFL/NBA sides obviously a lot more than a college hoops total. Which one you wanna know? Unless we're talking quarters or alt lines, it's more than $100.

NBA sides and prop bets.

Full NBA reg line spread (not overnight or early limits) looks like to win almost 2k. Live is about 35% of that.

I don't really bet NBA props much, so I'm not sure. NFL props seem to range like $400-600 or so.

This is great discussion. I would recommend starting a thread where players post their offered maximum on a market, like Thursday night football spread, or receiving yards by top receiver in that same game, and we get at least 5-10 numbers. To get an idea of what the 'true' maximum is.

It's what the bookmaker hopes we don't do. There is no rule against it. So we should do it.

I'm game. But only way to know is to attempt to wager an amount over the limit. I'm guessing most here not willing to test/risk it.

Mercedes-Benz admits they want only customers who pay full MSRP for vehicles.

McDonalds admits they want only want customers who don't use discount coupons.

Condo developers admit they only want customers who overpay for their condos.

**winz** · 12-03-21, 06:32 AM

None of them did that. These businesses want all customers and they are strong enough to earn profits from the ones you describe.

If you think this, then you do not need to be concerned about being limited yet.

I know they didn't. I'm just making fun of the DraftKings CEO. These companies never said that..so he shouldn't be telling the world what he personally thinks.

Public company doesn't get to keep secrets and only tell investors this privately.

He has no choice but to be transparent to investors publicly.

They’re not far away from bankruptcy

You got a remember most people that run these places don’t know anything about gambling and never made a wager in their lives

DraftKings could go bankrupt

I'd love to see Jason Robins try to guess the Week 14 opening lines (or Week 15 since there are lookaheads)

How many starting QBs can he even name?

DKNG stock tanking. They should have access to tons of cash, so I don't know about bankruptcy. Still the premier online fantasy/gambling name. Might get bought out by media company that wants in. What if Disney tried to buy Draftkings?

**OldBill** · 12-03-21, 12:08 PM

WELL i know of two guys that lived in NYC and others also very sharp large bettors got limited by locals no more huge $1000;s per game $500 max so they moved to las vegas and got beards to get down in every book possible for max $1000 ........

I told them both do not use the known runners get your own have them pay people to place wagers while they stand by to make sure they dont walk off with the cash ............ TEll them DO NOT make wagers on your won in same books use the ones off the strip or elsewhere

They all got paid very well like $50,000 a year ......

I'm only betting about $200- $500 per week so they dont even blink when i win ...

all NFL only and no other sports too much to daily sports likr MLB and NBA and I just wacked BET MGM for $1000's they stole from us

THE PA gaming Comisson did nothing so got the fedearal state authority to go after them MONEY deposited in Bank every penny every deposit they took was exactly $50 ......... i never gt receipts for them $2512.89 stolen they had acess to our Bank card because we left it on there all THE money wife won from them was lost and the one hit we took after taking $552 from her hit her for another $200 leaving us with only $50 and neither of us played inthier casino

SO after that fiasco we only use pay pal because they cant take funds without your password which is never used

also read reports the sports book of bet mgm did not pay out winners .THE feds contacted the head guy that started BET MGM his name last name GreenBlatt he apoligized to me on the phone YOU tube Videos helped also

Taken down as promised ........ bye bye all BOL this week

All these usa books for small players and square whales

**thomorino** · 12-03-21, 01:39 PM

If these books limit or kick players out they should have their license pulled. Draftkings has more than enough liquidity to take sharp action and balance their book.

The winning business model for sportsbook is to balance their book not just rely on square or bad bettors. If you are only booking one side of the action you are betting not booking.

Draftkings is an over 30 billion dollar company, they should be able to take big bets.

More like 11 billion now.

**Crusherrr** · 12-03-21, 05:05 PM

Stock price is paying for this comment. No Sportsbook CEO should say shit- what was he thinking?

**pavyracer** · 12-03-21, 05:09 PM

I told you the guy was a dumb ass. You don't make comments like this. This is what you say to a friends wedding after drinking 3 glasses of wine when not thinking clearly.

**thomorino** · 12-03-21, 05:15 PM

The whole market was down today, his comments had nothing to do with the selloff.

Disagree. DraftKings stock was in the $70s earlier this year, now at $28

Broader S&P500 is only a few % off its all-time high

Most Gambling companies are getting destroyed same with Wynn in Las Vegas Sands and Penn gaming

**pavyracer** · 12-03-21, 07:06 PM

Sharp bettors like us destroy books. My only regret when I win so much from the books with my skills is I cause some book employees their jobs and their kids won't have anything to eat because I beat the book.

The money is in REIT's.
Stay away from gaming stocks.

Well, I know what happens when you do all the bitcoin transactions I did. Banks close your account and then you get a visit from the FEDS. Word to the wise- be careful fellas.
