A delay ... but not nearly 60 seconds

Where?

THEGREAT30 · 10-01-09, 01:12 AM

I have not but plenty of guys around here say that they have had limits cut all together by a certain A+ book. So, I guess that would include major sports.

Bookmaker (either that or their software loads real slowly)---about 12-15 seconds broadband. No problems anywhere else including DSI which uses the same platform.

CarpeDime · 10-01-09, 01:31 AM

Justin7 you're talking about DSI aren't you...

Yes I have heard of countermeasures including reduced limits

DSI is not a full-fledged pro book

Sam Odom · 10-01-09, 02:20 AM

5Dimes will cut your limits on 'minor' sports

konck · 10-01-09, 02:29 AM

5Dimes has a 5 dollar max on Monticello for me

This isn't directed at any book. I'm just taking a straw poll. I'm also weighing countermeasures used by other books, and seeing where it fits into the big picture.

The books that jjgold plays at progressively increase his limits and there are no delays when he places bets.

MrX · 10-01-09, 11:05 AM

Shown the door at BJ. That was kind of annoying, but it was a long time ago.

Yep, I hesitated to even mention it.

Why hesitate to mention? I understand a lot of guys are here for the wrong reasons and would probably start a big argument with you, but that is info worth mentioning.

Betonline cut my limits and also had me on a 30-60 second delay.

Phoenix has a short delay, 5-10 seconds.

BetJam has always been acknowledged as a recreational book here, so I didn't think this info is exactly what Justin7 was looking for. But since they're A+ I figured it was worth mentioning.

DSI cut my limits. It's across the board, but it was for NCAA basketball (yes, it was steam sort of and for some reason they can't cut limits on specific sports). They still give me betpoints though (bookmaker long ago took them away).

Since 5dimes moved to A+ this week they do all sorts of stuff against people, but if you aren't betting steam, they will mostly just limit you on the -105 stuff and props and small sports.

I have a delay at betjam like many.

I once had a delay at WSEX (obviously not A+ anymore but was a the time). They took it off after I called and asked.

The greek told me if I played dr bob before the line move again I'd get a phone only account, but no issues since then.

Legendz is another square A+ book that will kick you out.

And people wonder why some of us are willing to play at lower rated books. I have a max $50 on reduced juice at 5dimes, $1 max at interwettin, booted out of bowmans, Canbet and SIA. Betroyal has given me a $200 max bet. I know a lot of them aren't A+ and geared for the pros, but after a while you gotta start looking at where you can get a good size bet up.

durito · 10-01-09, 06:55 PM

Oh yea I have close to $0 limits at many euro books, some i'm sure are A+ or A rated

Robust · 10-01-09, 09:20 PM

no issues here.. they gladly take all my bets and FAST!

wonder why?

Delayed confirmation (i.e. 60 seconds while you wait, wondering if the bet is confirmed)
Reduced limits on major sports, like NFL

Or any other countermeasures you thought were very annoying?

Betjam put me on a delay of about 20 seconds. Bet365 reduced my limit to about $10. Wagerstreet also cut my limits.

Smoke · 10-12-09, 04:29 PM

5dimes dimes cut me down to $50/max bet on reduced juice when i started winning big.

Justin is hoping this hasn't happened to anyone else so he can think the big books are watching him.

They all have either implemented delays or cut limits on major sports.

Care to share your specific experiences?

Pinny limited me to $35k on EPL games.
