Hi guys, first time poster (posted this in the newbie section, as well, not sure which section was more appropriate)

I started a book in January. Things have been going well. I have one that guy that bets soccer like crazy. He will bet crazy amounts on the favorites like $2500 to win $500, things like that. He got bit in the ass one time when his favorites lost one day and was down a big amount, but proceeded to win it all back and more that same weekend doing the same thing. He also does parlays, as well, using the same strategy. I banned him for awhile because I didn't have a site and was having to look up all these lines myself at work, but decided to let him back yesterday (have had a working site for a few months now) and he won about $500 on about 30 sets of bets, mixing parlays and straight bets. I'm afraid of letting this guy just run rampant on these soccer plays. Is there a good way you guys know to limit soccer bets/parlays because I don't know too much about what other sites do to limit. Obviously soccer betting is in business everywhere so it's not designed to fail. Any advice/tips or just let it play out?

Thanks,

Bryan

Only offer him spreads?

Sooner or later his strategy will bite him in the ass. Books like suckers like this guy.

It's soccer...His spread bets will f.u.c.k. him over sooner or later and they will hurt him huge. All he needs is a weekend of like Man U -1.5 in one game and Man City -1.5 in one game or something, only to discover that both teams are playing their games just looking for a draw. Then your client will lose his ass.

You could just set him up an account online. Books will handle the lines. I'm sure you can decide the limits and which leagues, and how much can be won in 1 week.

I use the hustler365 website so the odds are on there. No spreads just money lines

Limit the number of teams he can parlay to 3 or a max of 4. And shade the lines in your favor on heavily favored matches... if he is only betting massive favorites, he'll still be them even if the line is terrible

As everyone has said, you should like this guy. It's like someone betting a Martingale strategy at a casino. He will be up, possibly for quite a while, but if he is betting against the value, you (the house) will win. I like Camel's suggestion; see how much vig you can add to the favourites, before he stops betting them. Sounds strange, but the more he is winning betting against the value the more you are effectively gaining, as the results will always normalise in the long run.

Start taking -500 lines and make them -750, doesn't seem like he cares. The day he get's fukked your payout will be huge.
