Lots of good Asian soccer lines there, I got limited there.
Everyone gets limited there. How can you be a sportsbook and not want to take action? It's wild.

The limiting is absolutely puzzling all those players they’re doing that so they would be profitable long-term it’s just a hot run a player gets on its hilarious

It is hilarious. Eventually there will be nobody left betting much and their volume will dry up. If you're a book, then book. MGM is afraid of it's own shadow. I guess you remain King by keeping the riff raff away?

yep
98% of guys getting limited are just regular bettors
I keep saying all the new players will eventually find offshore as they become educated and frustrated at the same time
Books better smarten up in usa non vegas

Does MGM really let you bet more than 100 bucks or so?

Yes
STATIONS would be #1 , but they have limits of 300-500, and 1k once in a great while.

So what. They can be bad for one thing and good for another. It's like a restaurant. You're not going to like everything on the menu. Would you avoid a restaurant just because you didn't like some of the menu items. Just pass on those and eat the good stuff.

BetMGM is ok. They are good for like a 4th or 5th out. Occasionally could get a good deal on NBA or College football, like half a point off the market line. If your serious, likely not to be your main book.
A good book, a nice out to have.

True, because they will limit you if you show a pulse.

Haven't experienced that yet. I don't know if they limited me, but I can't do more than ~200 on mlb props(the cap how much you can win, so you can bet less on underdog props).
I spread the action around though.

Never checked mlb props, but I'm sure that's way lower. On main spreads and totals, I can typically bet $111.

That part's not great, but I beat them pretty good for awhile. Still worth betting into a bit.

Decent app
As stated, decent, but far behind Circa and WH here in the Vegas valley.

I’ve been using MGM since it’s been legal in AZ last September. Bet around the $100-200 range with an occasional $500 or $1k bet. Have withdrawn around $6k since then, to my bank account within 2 days. So nothing spectacular as in crushing the books but not doing too bad either. Only limit so far I’ve got was a max payout on a long shot. Been doing well lately so we shall see if any limits come from that. I go to Vegas 3-4 times a year so the points/perks I accumulate are nice for comps.

The hammer came down. Max to win $50 now. Oh well, was close to the first benefit tier.

I think they review when you are closing in on a tier. I got to about 190k points (200k platinum) when they hammered me.

major us online sportsbooks won't let you win. if you lose you ca play there forever. why anyone would ever play there i don't know. when an online book caters to everybody they'll get business. it goes against common sense but just about everyone loses in the long run. you can't nitpick who's a sharp and who isn't-but don't tell that to the common ceo idiot.

Yeah, I mean, you can, but most are really bad at doing it, and even if they weren't it's really not the best way to run a book.

yeah i heard about that..if circa takes all action they will be growing fast. i hope they are legit, i have no idea never played them. it's what the fans want, as olympic said sweat the game not the payout
