    What happens if you win too much $?
    I know losers are always welcome, but do sportsbooks care enough to close your account, limit your max to $1 bets or something, if they feel you're only sucking their money out? I'm also talking here about good and reliable books of A-rating. Just want to see if this business is fair or not.

    I would love to be such a good capper that a book turns me down. LOL!

      Well, if you try hard, it's possible. Sports are not random.

        It depends on the book. Most A-rated books don't mind as long as you beat them fairly. If you are an originator, they might even follow you.

        The lower the rating, the more likely the book is to shut out winners. Most will still pay you, but buyer beware if you are playing with a D-rated book or lower.

          Fair play only exists when both sides play fair. So, in my question, it was assumed that the bettor is playing fair by book rules. At Pinnacle, for instance, they say they can limit your max limit if they need to. They don't really give you any possible reasons for this to happen and leave you in the dark.

          And about winning too much... You only need to win a little more than you lose and bet lots. No need to win 9 out of 10 games. That's just an example of how it can be done.

              If you have to ask this question, an A rated book is not gonna limit your action, so don't worry too much..

                First off few have action limited at any book and when they do all they did was get on a lucky streak and not skill.

                A few maybe 4 books will keep taking your action if your keep hammering them.

                  A rated books may limit your action. I've been limited at Cris and Pinny with teasers, and I have friends who cannot bet them at Oly.

                    I have a friend who was kicked out of BetOnline after winning $20,000 on the horses. I've sucked the last 6 months so I'm still there. Dropped another thousand today.

                      BetOnline is a recreational book. I'm amazed they take that kind of action on horses. I may have to talk to some friends about that

                        Greek will lock your acct and ask you not to bet "movers" if you win too much. Ask them to explain this and they say "don't bet movers!!" Cris will collar you on certain bets like halftimes, but generally are big enough they don't care otherwise. Dimes will collar you and give you delays and finally boot you. BOL will collar you. Skybook will give you the delay.

                        Only Pinny (so far) will not collar you or impede you if you hammer them.

                        Guess the answer is win a little bit from alot of people.

                          If you don't mind me asking, how much exactly was "too much" in this case? I hope it's not $20,000 again.

                          How wonderful It sounds as if they're forbidding you from making winning bets and forcing you to lose.

                            They basically copied Pinnacle's rebate and limit structure which is great but they get scared when someone goes on a winning streak.
