Will books limit or treat winning players differently, even with small wagers?

    So I'm currently a broke college grad, teaching kids how to snowboard in Colorado. Living the dream indeed. I have played primarily at 5Dimes, and deposited about 3 times, withdrawing winnings all three times. According to my records, I have won an amount less than $999 but yet I am ineligible for bonuses, reduced juice, and it seems that my lines are given at 20 cent juice instead of 10.

    Is my account flagged as "sharp" or something like that were 5dimes knows that I'm not just another degenerate gambler? I play almost exclusively NFL, specializing in sides, live bets, and props

    5dimes is not known for giving generous bonuses and if you're up lifetime on them they won't give you shit. Fairly standard.

      Yeah if you win enough eventually nearly every sportsbook will shut you down. Some have a higher tolerance than others.

        If you win at 5 dimes it is usually ok if you were just lucky. If you show signs of intelligence you will be limited. Having said this, 5 dimes deserves a high rating because they are financially sound. And they have the risk management in place to prevent the same type of issues as faced Bet Islands.

                The bigger the book, and the higher their turnover, then the smaller bets are more likely to slip through the net for longer. If you are winning they will pick up on it over time through the various client reports they analyse, but if you are betting a couple hundred or less at peak times on something like an NFL Spread where they are taking many bets of thousands and tens of thousands then the smaller bets will slip through the radar to some extent.

                Of course the rarer or more obscure the market, then the harder it is to blend in and also betting at off-peak hours as well makes it harder to stay conceled for long.
