    On an insane run - Advice greatly appreciated
    Let me preface this post by saying that I'm up over $30,000 in less than 2 months. I'm up over $20,000 on MLB, over $7000 on NCAAFB, over $1000 on NFL preseason, and over $3000 on tennis (Wimbledon and US Open).

    I have been gambling online for over 10 years (since college) and I have never had a consistent run like this. I nailed the LSU/Oregon ML and point spread and it was my single biggest hit ever. If you really need I can post proof screenshots, but I'd prefer not to.

    My questions are: How do I get my money out? Sportsbook has a maximum $2500 withdrawal at a time and it takes about 2 weeks from time of request until it's in your hand at your door. Only 1 per month is free.

    DC is an option but wouldn't the withdrawal fees at ATM's get a bit insane as well? I have a DC on request and it's been about 3 weeks - request still "pending".

    What are my options realistically? Do I just try to keep winning? At this rate it would literally take me 8 months to withdraw my entire balance if I stopped wagering right now. Is $30,000 profit enough to make a Sportsbook lower my limits or freeze my plays? Should I be at all concerned about my bankroll's safety?

    Should I open an account at a larger sportsbook in the meantime to increase my options? 5 dimes or another more "highly thought of" book?

    Honestly, I'm very humble about this and did not expect to have this kind of run. I lost my job last December and this is a godsend - my mom and girlfriend thought I was crazy to resume gambling with no job, but now they are both on board and just want me to "be careful". I have an MBA and am a decently bright guy - I still believe I have a bright career ahead of me in the business world (have had a few "near hires" over the past 2 months but still no job as of yet). Basically I'm saying all of this to let you know that I'm not some douchebag braggart - despite my winnings I'm arguably in some of the weaker financial shape of my life right now.

    Thanks much.

      Depends what book you use

      If its Pinny you are fine, wire the full balance to your bank account and run

      If its Sportsbook.com, you better be careful

        Yes Im in the US - it's Sportsbook.com

        Also if I should not be posting this much detail please somebody let me know so I can edit the post. I know that there are guys who hit insane parlays for $100,000 and such, but I guess since I've been winning more or less consistently and steadily I'm just concerned that they'll think I'm some sharp and close my account or something. I've been with them for over 5 years so at least I have a track record of breaking even or being slightly up year over year - do they review accounts and would they take that into consideration here?

              If you guys are going to be assholes I'll post my history and balance with details blurred out - but I was publicly huge on LSU ML and point spread and won over 6.5k on that game alone. I have been publicly huge on the Dbacks during several spots in this run. My public plays on SBR forum alone I'm up easily over 10k if you want to read my post history.

              I just want some advice and not insecure dicks like you taking cracks at me or doubting my validity.

                    Don't post your history, nobody cares. People are going to call you out because it is what they do. Even if you post history they still won't believe you.

                    Good luck with getting your money.

                      You will never see your money from Sportsbook.com.

                      They are going to start saying you need the codes to four different nukes from four different military bases. And that they would need confirmation from President Obama that the codes are true. Then they will slow pay.....

                        Well give me advice then.

                        "Be careful if it's Sportsbook.com"

                        "Good luck with getting your money."


                        What does that MEAN? HOW do I "be careful"? Stop gambling big on games that I love?

                          I've been up 5 figures with them before and have never NOT received money. Granted, sometimes it was slow and that was back when you COULD withdraw $3999.99 at a time (or more if you wanted).

                          But I've already gotten $7500 out from them via check and have another few grand coming via DC pretty soon so I don't see how everybody says that they absolutely WON'T pay me.

                          Are people just naysaying for no reason?

                                The most recent case they asked for over 7 forms of ID. He will not complain to SBR since we live in Vegas, and he does not want to deal with it.

                                  That's different from "not getting money" and "needing 4 different nuke codes". Are you and others just being melodramatic for the fun of it? Getting "slow payed" is not the end of the world.

                                      First off, don't forget that you came here asking for help. You'd be well served not to insult people here when you're the one needing help. Also, if you've been up and cashed out five figures before then this really isn't that different. You are in a bit of a bind because of the book. You would be smart after cashing out to load an A+ book and not go back to sportsbook dot com. I'd tell you more but honestly I don't like your attitude and don't want to help.

                                        Since you have only been here less than a month most people probably assume you are either a shill or work directly for sportsbook.com. I assume the same.

                                            Getting slow payed is shit bookmaking.

                                            Nobody should settle, or be satisfied with that type of service.

                                              Whatever - read my post history. Publicly huge on LSU, the Dbacks, the Brewers, and several other bball games.

                                                So Houlihans - basically you're implying that I should take my payouts I've already received and deposit them into a more reputable A+ book.

                                                Then just go small-time with Sportsbook from here on out until I get the lion's share of my balance in my mitts.

                                                I appreciate the help - I also think I'm going to call the OSGA tomorrow to bounce this off them.

                                                Genuinely sorry I got into a pissing match, but jesus Christ - this feels like the old Tucker Max forum all over again - just because I don't have 20,000 posts people want to hate me.

                                                    Sportsbook will probably slow pay you just be patient and take your money out in stages. Congrats on your run! If you plan to keep gambling fairly large amounts you will be much better off at Bookmaker/Diamond!

                                                      Sportsbook is dodgy. U'd be better off to keep betting but doing arbs. Do it so that you win in another book but lose in that one. I do it with MMA betting a lot when one account is depleted and the other is very high. For instance as an example if I had 10 grand in 5dimes and only 1 grand in bookmaker id play Fighter A at -200 on bookmaker and fighter B on 5dimes at +200. not gonna make anything but if the -200 wins u will have more money in the account. Not as easy to do if u dont have European accounts tho

                                                              I am not trying to be a dick here, but it seems pretty obvious, doesn't it? Wouldn't the smart thing be to get that money out as fast as humanely possible?

                                                              Why even risk it? Why live with the anxiety?

                                                              Get your money out, and deposit into a stronger book. That seems like an easy solution to your problem.

                                                                But I've already gotten $7500 out from them via check and have another few grand coming via DC pretty soon so I don't see how everybody says that they absolutely WON'T pay me.

                                                                Are people just naysaying for no reason?

                                                                You start a thread yapping about how much money youve made, bragging about a couple recent 'big' hits, then end it with the typical i love my family and life bullshit that any guy trying to sound legit uses.

                                                                You say you have been doing it for 10 yeras or more so why are you asking for advice in the first place. if you dont know what to do by now then no one can help you.
