Many of you have had limits cut, but has a book ever cut then raised your limits?

RudyRuetigger · 04-24-12, 01:29 PM

if they do that, id be VERY worried about the liquidity of the book

OUTCAST · 04-24-12, 01:44 PM

Yes at Caribsports. I had my limits cut after a winning streak but if you keep loosing after awhile, you can request to have your limit increase again.

King_Suckerman · 04-24-12, 01:46 PM

Yes its happened to me when i book has been taken over by someone else.

When I politely asked:
10bet raised
wwin raised
bet365 refused
ladbrokes refused

jjgold · 04-24-12, 02:13 PM

I can bet max most books although what does that mean??

Hareeba! · 04-24-12, 02:56 PM

Never.

When I get responses such as "traders'/management decision", "reviewed from time to time", "not in the foreseeable future" etc. I don't hang around wasting time betting peanuts to find out so that's the end for me at such books.

Hollywood did for me once (current management).

They had me at $50 or $100 on every sport and I asked some months later for it to be raised. They raised me to $500 and shortly thereafter reduced me back to $100.

Never, except one book (Phoenix) did have a manager that i was friendly with that argued with his lazyass linesman for a year before the linesman won out. Once you get to the 45 sec delay and down to $50 you have been told to leave. No reason to stick around looking for good Will. He left town.

Edit: I have even gone the route of telling a book "look, let me bet 5 games a day max at $250 a pop and that is all i will bet I promise" even that didn't work!

rm18 · 04-24-12, 05:48 PM

yes betmania i think management change, and heritage slashed limits in half they raised back and re slashed lol

skrtelfan · 04-26-12, 02:17 AM

I have used clueless books that slashed my limits and then would occasionally raise them significantly, but I'm pretty sure that was due to cluelessness and not anything deliberate, i.e. my limits are cut to $50 on props but one day I can bet $500 on props on the MNF game.

Marigold HD · 04-26-12, 02:28 AM

Wow. How the books have changed. I used to have unlimited bets at books back in the day 7-12 years ago. Props, parlays, quarters, halftimes, futures. I never ever had a limit no matter what I played. Sportsbooks suck these days.

In addition to timely payouts, the other requirement that should be satisfied in order for a book to receive an "A" rating are those that are willing to take on all bettors.

Only Bookmaker, Greek and Pinnacle deserve "A" ratings while the Bovada's, 5Dimes, Heritage, etc (books that limit players quickly) should be given a maximum rating of "B+".

And that is a lie which I am capable of proving, unlike some others here who make false and unsustainable accusations.

brettels · 04-26-12, 05:14 AM

but you get limited at so many places cause your a winner, seeing as though pinnacle is one of the very few places you bet and how big of a winner you are wouldn't you have won alot more than 100k

So you have failed to comprehend the hundreds of threads that have gone to great lengths to explain that being limited mostly has sfa to do with how much you win as to how you win?

And please show where I have ever claimed to be a big winner. Else STFU and stop stalking me.

jjgold · 04-26-12, 05:27 AM

The only guys getting booted from books are guys betting off market lines

If you bet the standard line you can bet whatever you like at most book and rarely ever get limited

brettels · 04-26-12, 05:32 AM

Hareeba you often say that if you show any sign of being a winner you will get limited to not worth betting limits. You will say it again in due time.

as99 · 04-26-12, 05:35 AM

Any book that limits you should be threatened by SBR.

Here I can give you a million dollars but you won't allow me to even win thousands.

Books that can't afford to play winning players need to lower their limits for everyone.

Yes I will say it again and again because that is what happens in the real world of these pretend bookmakers we have to live with these days, such as Paddy Power and your beloved Sportsbet. And that's why Pinnacle, SBO and the exchanges are the only real places to bet if you have a clue.

So I really have to spell it out word for word do I?
The way to win is value betting.
That means shopping for and betting at the very best odds available anywhere.
To a book you look like an arber.
Books don't like that.
They cut you off because of what you are doing. Not because of how much you win.

Capiche?

jjgold · 04-26-12, 05:53 AM

I know $50 bettors that had limits cut

I know guys that went 8-25 and had limits cut

brettels · 04-26-12, 05:56 AM

lol hareeba, you deny saying something, then say you will continue to say that thing you deny saying. You make sense good flubba wubba.

baskets · 04-26-12, 08:16 AM

directed at any "pro"

if u are a pro gambler who makes over 200k - 300k a year.... how could you not have made over 100k lifetime at Pinnacle? it doesn't make any sense

if you get booted for peeling off 20k from a book like RW, 5D, whatever.... how long did it take u to make that at one of those books? certainly not more than a year. so as a pro gambler, you mean to tell me you haven't played at Pinny for more than 5 years? .... netting less than 2k a month from pinny?

it does not make sense

this is simple logic and 3rd grade math... the one thing I can easily do, lol

I've had limits cut when losing at a book. Just proves the point that it's not how much you win but how you bet.

your maths may be fine but logic is questionable

there are sports and bet types which Pinnacle doesn't offer or if they do have very low limits on

many pros are specialists in such fields

baskets · 04-26-12, 05:25 PM

a pro can't make more than 2k a month at pinnacle?

for 24 k a year

and roughly 100k in a 4 year period at Pinny?

give me a fukking a break. especially if a pro is hauling in 200 to 300k a year.

relaaxx · 04-26-12, 05:40 PM

hareeba hope you are doing well. see you are putting up with some stupid accusations. happens from time to time. the good and bad about public forums---anyone can say anything

I didn't say some wouldn't.

But your original post suggested that if you hadn't won that much at Pinnacle you couldn't possibly be a pro, which is simply downright rubbish.

Yes mate, certainly some small minded people around who take delight in stalking and posting nonsense but are never prepared to justify their accusations. They may be able to say anything but I for one will not tolerate being falsely accused of being a liar by such cowards.
