do a fishead and open 50 accounts.

Tsoprano · 03-12-10, 06:08 PM

How much were you betting and how much did they limit you to?

Brock Landers · 03-12-10, 06:08 PM

Cris?

Why play there when you can play at betjam or thegreek?

Masu485 · 03-12-10, 06:08 PM

Usually the limit on whatever I bet (3k in NCAAB). New limits are $500

CarpeDime · 03-12-10, 06:09 PM

lower on everything or just some sports or bets?

BJ would rather I play at Greek.

Greek doesn't want me to bet steam, so I agreed in order to keep account open.

Yes, a sharp should only have 2 outs.

may seem like a novice question, but i've never gotten a good answer so i'll ask it

How does one "bet steam"?

Tsoprano · 03-12-10, 06:11 PM

Right before the big dance takes off too

jjgold · 03-12-10, 06:12 PM

Where a line has moved significantly at most books but remained the same (or moved only slightly) at the book you bet with. Betting the side that all the money is on is "chasing steam".

Yes, but the point is you want to have as many outs as possible.

Flying Dutchman · 03-12-10, 07:07 PM

...time to go tout...

Yi · 03-12-10, 07:12 PM

Justin, how much overall (in figures) have you won from Cris before they lowered your limit?

BeatTheJerk · 03-12-10, 07:44 PM

What a self-indulgent absorbed thread about oneself. They made the same limits for me at 5Dimes, but did I bring out my cock for measurement and present it to the forum ? No

I think you've got the wrong read here. A lot of us take this handicapping stuff serious, and that means we want to know how books treat winners. This is just information that people have an interest in.

I'm probably down 100k there.

There's a big difference between 5Dimes, an admitted rec book, and Cris, "bring it on".

On a positive note, Cris reinstated my normal limits as long as I don't bet steam any more.

You know what ............. Your right excuse me Justin.

LLXC · 03-12-10, 08:46 PM

But what if you create steam

Tsoprano · 03-12-10, 08:48 PM

Justin7, what is your email address?

pavyracer · 03-12-10, 08:50 PM

My limits are also $500 on Cris but that is quite different than Justin. I can't bet anything less than $500. No upper limit at all.

Tony has 10K Limits on both sides and totals at -107 for baskets

bases 20k..12 cent lines...20 cent after -200 games

RealSlimShady · 03-12-10, 11:43 PM

It happens. CRIS limited my horse racing wagers to $10 after I hammered them on one race!

Yi · 03-13-10, 12:17 AM

This is pretty surprising since Cris is supposely a site that deals with professional bettors.
