    How Much is Enough for these Books? Share your experiences

    I was wondering how much winnings could a bettor possibly get in order for books to kick you out or cut your limits, and by how much per game? theGreek, 5dimes, Betjm etc..? Any thoughts?

    it's not how much you win but how you win that gets you limited
    but apart from 5D I don't think there is that much to worry about with those books
    the Euro books are the real problem

    Thegreek and betjam are not the limit type of books, at least there are not many players that can complain about it.

    Bet Jam is quicker to limit than 5 Dimes on a lot of stuff.

    With certain rec books, it's better to just do a bust out transfer so you can keep playing there. Really unfair to books like BJAM who make payouts easy, hassle free, and don't treat you like an insurance company when you make a claim on your winnings.

    What do you mean by " NOT HOW MUCH YOU WIN BUT HOW YOU WIN?" Any specifics regarding this statement?

    I also heard, correct me if I am wrong, that books not necessarily look into your Balance but rather on how you make your payouts? Any recommended payout strategy so these books wont flag you or anything? Once a week? thanks!

    been discussed in any number of previous threads

    basically you get on at the top odds regularly they will label you a steam chaser or arber and your limits will get slashed

    don't know about withdrawal strategy but anyone making a bloody nuisance of themselves withdrawing as frequently as weekly will probably suffer excess fees
