How low are their limits bud?

bigboydan · 04-09-06, 02:04 AM

perty low

bet 365 minimums are 20 cents, good for those desperate 7 team parlays and you can mix and match with sports and props, also like their live betting, but other than that the lines are brutal

I've heard nothing but noise about this book. I'm glad I'm not a member of scam365.

You're saying that Bet365 is a scam?

slacker00 · 04-09-06, 11:18 AM

There's a lot of threads in poker forums about scams they've done, such as cheating players out of tournament tickets by discontinuing tournaments without a refund. I can dig up the links again, if you want. I've mentioned them on here before if you do a search. I've also heard nothing but noise like this mentioned above about their sportsbook.

taco,

Do you find it impossible to form your own opinion? I'm sorry I can't help you.

tacomax · 04-09-06, 12:12 PM

I'm perfectly able to both form and express my opinion. Henceforth I don't need to resort to use such terminology as "scam365" to refer to Bet365. It's a good way of implying that they're a scam when you haven't got the balls to say it directly. If I think something is a scam, I won't skirt around the issue and I'll say it directly.

I was purely seeing if you had the balls to call Bet365 a scam rather than to simply imply it.

It seems you don't.

It depends on who you are. It varies a lot between individuals. As I recall, their standard limits for a new unrestricted account are quite reasonable. Better than Las Palmas or 5 Dimes or those sorts of books.

But they will slap restrictions on accounts they decide are professional. And they don't just cut them down to $500. They'll cut them down to, like, 9 dollars.

I agree that Bet365 is not the place to go for MLB moneylines.

Before my limits became pointless, I would find some servicable lines there though. Boxing, NHL totals sometimes, tennis set betting, some props. That was awhile ago though.

Seriously, $3 dollars a GAME. No way, who in the hell would bet there unless they have no clue then. $3 a game with crappy lines!! Where do I sign up?

I echo Mudcat. Before they collared me, I used to pound the hell out of these guys. Their limits are actually quite high for new/square accounts. There are a LOT of soft lines there, if you know what to look for.

But once they figure out that you don't have four corners, the party's over, so enjoy it while it lasts.

I was once offered 65 cents max. I haven't logged in since.

The Great One · 04-09-06, 03:30 PM

65 cents wouldn't be bad if we were in prison betting or if we were betting in the year 1462. LOL

What a freakin joke. Why would you even care if you lost or would even bet in the first place. Why don't they just tell you not to come back instead of colloring you at 65 cents. Thats unbelievable.

Every time I log onto this site, I lhear or learn something new.

Exactly. They offered me a $15 max limit bet on some tennis match and never went back.

isetcap · 04-09-06, 07:44 PM

They're accomplishing exactly what they want to by these absurdly low limits.

If you don't like them, start a syndicate and hit them hard.

I put up an offer for $200 at Mansion. When the game started I went to check on my offer and found out I had $195 refund.

Some chump wager $5 on my offer. God damn it, wasted my time.

I hate to laugh at you but there's nothing else to do. I know just what you're feeling. You can't roll your eyes hard enough when that happens.

imgv,

I was just saying how I've never heard anything good about 365, and plenty of bad things that make me want to stay away. I've never used them, so maybe I wouldn't have problems with them, but it just looks like a big stop sign to me right now. I know Bet365 has an A rating here on SBR, so they must pay out, but what good is it if they jerk you around every which way until that point.

Bet365 pays fast, I just requested 2.5K by Neteller tonite (after midnite EST) and they paid in maybe half an hour or less. No fees either.

I agree they're limits can be cut really low, on some things I'm around $25, others I can still get $150 online. Sometimes I can get a little more on the phone. I used to be able to get up around $1500 or so online, I think I got too large a payout late last year and that's why my limits were cut. I still play there as they do offer some options on foreign Hockey that are hard to find, plus some in-game betting and good value on NBA and NFL half-time Moneylines at times.
