Bookmaker Limiting my Stake

**andywend** · 05-10-13, 06:14 AM

Once your limits get cut, they never go back. There are only a select few books that don't limit winning players (bookmaker, pinnacle, greek). In my opinion, no book should be rated above a B that practices limit collars. Chances are the 90% reduction in limits has rendered your book useless so you need to find another book. I have the exact same problem with 5Dimes as I have been limited by 90% (can only bet 10% of normal limits). Therefore, the only thing I can bet is pre-game sides and totals as all of their other bet offerings have ridiculously low maximums to begin with. I tried to bet on Pacific to win the NCAA Championship at 6000-1 and the MAXIMUM amount they would take on that bet for my account was 50 CENTS.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes,with the lower limits my bookmaker is useless.I used to play with ****$ on a market and now it's just ***$.

So i guess Williamhill,Bet365,Ladbrokes aka TOP bookmakers who even sponsor professional sporting events are after all a joke and winners aren't welcome in these sites.Wonder why all the hype about these bookmakers then?

Thanks for the other recommendations,i'll look into those bookmakers.

Sbavi, of the books mentioned above, you should go for pinnacle and look no further.

Just thank me later dude.

Hello,

i have been using a highly reputed UK bookmaker.I have made some huge cash in the last 30 days.

Since yesterday they have been limiting my stakes to a very small amount in some markets.To give you guys an idea,my max stake is just about 10% to the previous amounts i was playing with.

Is there any way to get over this?Or should i find a new bookmaker?

Title is misleading, Bookmaker doesn't slash limits. Why not name the book?

Cris and the Greek both cut limits. Fact!

Sorry,edited the title.The book is "Williamhill".

They have paid me without any issues.So,it's just the stake limiting part which i'm not happy with.

Both bookmaker and DSI cut limits.

You could try the 'Asian view' if that's what you are familiar with.

Join pinnacle and SBO. They are just about the only books that don't cut limits, and have much better odds than WillHill too.

Till this day I have never heard that Bookmaker and Greek would have cut limits ... Not the single case I know. 5Dimes -sure. Crazy Tony does not like winners. They do let you win anywhere from $30k-60k depending how you bet. Pinnacle told me as an answer to my question where I said if I would win $300 000 every month...how many months would I last? They said " we do not have the practice of limiting a winning players" It is hard to believe is it not? If I was you here is what I'd do.

Go with 1. Pinnacle
2. Matchbook
3. IBC bet

IBC bet is Asian Pinnacle... for them you need to find an agent....write to www.sports-bet-win.com they might be able to help you
These 3 should never limit you- ever!

And you have 3 books in reserve

1.Bookmaker
2.Greek
3.BetFair

Bookmaker & DSI are both listed as professional books on SBR, opposed to the recreational books who cut limits. I asked Bookmaker/DSI this question years ago when I had 60k in my account, was told then they do not cut limits on winning players. Just went on live chat to confirm again now & was told the same:

What they're listed as on SBR seems quite irrelevant to me. B365 seemed to be considered a "professional" book for very long on here (may still be too lazy to check).

My guess is, if you beat them and they continously cant unload that action they'll probably limit you. Them not limiting most winners probably has more to do with their line offerings rather than them actively welcoming winners unlike pinny, ibc, sbo and real exchanges.

**SportsMozart** · 05-11-13, 10:19 AM

No Brittish book can be considered to be for pros....THEY ALL LIMIT YOU!!! Even though limits in Bet365 are high at the first sight, for example you can bet 500 000 BP on a soccer game... but win few $10 000 bets and your limits are at $100/pop

Brittish books suck!

I only bet (scalped and middled) NFL, NBA, College and MLB and was severely limited on both my DSI and Bookmaker account.
