Heritage Sportsbook closes my account ...what a joke

**SBR Lou** · 10-31-12, 10:41 AM

Hi fedex11204,

Thanks for sharing.

Were there any warnings given beforehand?

**fedex11204** · 10-31-12, 10:47 AM

None whatsoever ...they just closed my account ...no one called me or emailed me

As long as they pay you any outstanding balance. They can close your account anytime they want. It is a business and if you are no longer good for them, time to go.

How do you know it's for playing teasers? Message when you try to login? What did it say exactly?

I want to know which books close accounts for winning or other idiotic reasons, because I don't want to play there in the first place. So to the OP, I say thanks for sharing.

If you are certain, you might call them, ask to speak to a manager, and see what kind of play the manager would like. Heritage is far too valuable of an out to lose over something trivial.

**fedex11204** · 10-31-12, 12:01 PM

Well all I play is teasers ...so deductive reasoning told me as such as you know 1+1=2

**fedex11204** · 10-31-12, 12:02 PM

And I did speak to John and he told me Risk management decided I wasn't a recreational err losing customer so I wasn't welcome

**DirkDiggs** · 10-31-12, 12:04 PM

Weird, considering Heritage created the new teaser system which tries to account for crossing key numbers...

**fedex11204** · 10-31-12, 12:08 PM

I played the 13 point teasers

**DimSum** · 10-31-12, 12:39 PM

Me too, that's all I play but I'm losing money there

i bet they keep your account open

**frankthetank** · 10-31-12, 01:09 PM

How long were you with them and how much average bet and how many average per weekend did you play? If you don't mind me asking.

**mtneer1212** · 10-31-12, 01:17 PM

So I don't think it was for playing teasers - I think it was for winning. Plus you must have been sending it in with some large bets....?

I been playing with them since they took over my betjamaica account. I started playing just teasers there this football season. Average $600 per week, $300 teasers

The plot thickens........ that does not seem like a 'risk management' concern for the book........... hmmmmmm

**pologq** · 10-31-12, 03:02 PM

i think its moreso that you are winning than what you are playing.

didn't you post about your account being closed there last year as well, maybe more to this story?

**pologq** · 10-31-12, 04:28 PM

maybe you beat them once and they realized it and don't want you to beat them again?

**LordVodka** · 10-31-12, 06:26 PM

How much did you take them for?

Very quietly, they are being revealed as some of the biggest pussies in the industry.

**kisado** · 11-01-12, 01:00 AM

Disheartening story if true. We need some more info. Did you take them for a large sum before and made a new account a year later? 600 a week, 300 dollar bettor being labeled "non-recreational" and shown the door is pretty cowardly.

Oh it all makes sense now.. the amount of details you just posted is astounding. I was kind of lost due to the lack of them...but since you helped us out and explained it now it makes sense.

**macb** · 11-01-12, 08:34 AM

They shut me down last year as well. They knew I was +money lifetime vs. greek/betjam. Didn't take long to cut my limits to nothing.
Joke book. Rec. only catagory.

**fedex11204** · 11-01-12, 09:10 AM

They originally closed me a year and a half ago because of another inexplicable reason stating because I only played 2nd half bets and didn't mix it up with regular bets. At that time I took them for 8,000 and they paid me without a hitch. However they reopened my account and welcomed me back a while ago and now once again they have booted me for only playing teasers. Like someone mentioned earlier these guys are serious pussies and obviously only welcome long term losers which I am not but by no stretch of the imagination am I a sharpie to say the least.

**Dancemanmarc2** · 11-01-12, 09:48 AM

My Heritage Account is still open and receiving rebates...I suppose I should aspire to be asked to leave with those numbers behind you

Justin; suggesting that players ask how sportsbooks want them to bet is so far outside players best intrest.

LOL are you that far up the asses of the sportsbooks that pay for advertising....man if I owned a sportsbook this is the first place I would come.

Justin7; why not instead DEFEND members of SBR so that they can place wagers at your advertised books in whatever manner they desire.

Bigggggg LOL to you buddy, lol when did you decide to sell yourself out, do you remember the day?

Edit: I can without a doubt say that Heritage is not a valuable 'out' with respect to other USA approved books.

I've been tossed from SIA and BI. With 5d, Heritage, Greek and BM, I had severe limits put in place. I spoke to them, found out what they didn't want, promised to avoid what they did not want. The accounts became useful again.

A book has a right to reject anyone for any or no reason. Your sportsbook is a business partner. You can still beat them, and give them utility. But don't expect to keep taking their money if they get no benefit from your action.

**crinkle** · 11-01-12, 12:13 PM

heritage sucks!!!

Heritage clearly doesn't want winners. So as long as you avoid winning there, your account there is very useful. Lol. Seems logical.

Heritage does not want steam, or people beating them on exotics. They are very tolerant of winners if you bet sides and totals that aren't steaming (even if they close well).
