When your betting an average of 60k a game, yes

$1 * 2 million costumers = $2 million

Limits of $2800 at full market is even worst

I contacted them and they said they might change it later in the season

Oh if I was trying to bet 60K a game I'd be more worried about the 60% limit slash than an extra cent of vig, but that's just me.

Hard to have a positive impression of someones abilities when they misspell the word off in a thread title. So early season CBB has traditionally been exploitable, and their profit margins are probably down, so they make a business decision to reduce limits and increase holds from 2.38% to 2.84%. I'd hardly classify that as ripping someone off. When you're running a super low margin sportsbook that allows winning players, you better be able to make adjustments when you're vulnerable in a specific area. Seems like just good business practice to me.
