    Will A Book Limit You if You Win Betting Live?

    Everyone knows that the live odds are very juicy. Sometimes you bet -120 to -140 which is a lot of juice. But what if you are really good at it and you keep winning at a rate that can overcome the juicy odds? Will the book limit you for winning square plays?

    Like I kept hammering Patriots live last night at -7.5, -10.5, -12.5, -15.5, -18.5 every time they were driving and all bets won but obviously I paid a lot of juice each time I was doing it.

    Paver your betting $5 a game zero danger

    Some have gotten limited live but bigger players and more sharper than you

    Paver other than soccer your as sharp as a bowling ball.

    Good hit Pats

    You said you had a $5 bankroll for the weekend. Are you going to make 5 bets for $1 each to build it up?

    Personal opinion: it is almost always square as fukk to take a live number on any team that was worse than was available before the game started

    My answer is yes if middles and scalps at the same book are involved. Your way is less likely unless you are consistent and get up 5 figures. Assuming you were on the sharp side. They want those bets at 40 cents juice. If you pop those dog prices hard at plus odds and middle it somewhere else with ten cents juice and you are winning bets with them that no sane person would do naked.

    Then they know you are sharp.

    I think jj is right, bet size is important. They won't limit $5 bettors.

    Depends entirely on the book. Some will, some it. I kind of think it's only a book that will limit winners, regardless of the bet type. I think it's actually easier to hide sharp bets live than it is pregame.

    Somebody mentioned 5 figures. Is that supposed to be a lot?

    live betting at -18.5 when you already have them at -7.5 seems like a long term losing strategy.

    I get it that one team is destroying another and those live bets are tempting but laying 11.5 more points.....I don't know. Take the sure thing and live to fight another day.

    But in my opinion you wont get limited if you keep doing it.

    Doesn't matter how you win....if you win too consistently, you're getting limited

    Can you hit a lucky home run?

    Score a lucky touchdown?

    You must have done something right?

    You hit 15 home runs in season in slow pitch softball, you know what? I think you can hit!

    If you are up 15 dimes lifetime on an offshore sportsbook? They know your name/you must be doing something right/you won 15k once and I think you can do it again! You are too good for some/not everybody.

    I'm guessing they have a dollar figure in mind (somewhere) that triggers a limit. But who knows

    I don't bet 10k live. Do you bet 10k? Have you ever been limited? Only one I have seen betting these amounts here is Rich Boy and his bets are very juicy (not live bets) so I can see why his book wouldn't limit him. When you bet $6200 to win $3800 on a football spread your book will never limit you.

    Somebody that deals you a clone line with never any value will not cut your limits.

    A book that screws square by dealing 140 juice does not want anybody picking of value at the plus odds. They are the honyockers to be careful of. They are not bookmaking they are betting with squares.

    I think I like the concept of the book thinking I'm a square. In their mind I'm going to lose more often than win so they will never limit me. My plan is to keep collecting and cashing out small amounts so I can fly under the radar.

    Soft books will limit you if you bet against Pinnacle or bet365

    bet365 will limit you if you bet against Pinnacle

    Has nothing to do with how much you win or lose unless it's extreme

    I'm talking onshore these days. I don't know offshore like I used to. I expected that all the onshores would cutoff those with a pulse. Hasn't been the case in all situations. About 50/50.
