    The Greek Reducing Bet Limits?
    I use to be able to bet $250 on baseball and basketball prop bets, now it's down to $100.

    I tried viewing the site unlogged in and from different browsers and they're all showing $100. Has anyone else been reduced in the past couple days?

          Can only bet 1k on MLB o/u also. Used to be 2500 or 3000 if I remember correctly.

              Terrible that they consider First Five innings a prop bet and only allowing $100 on it.

                    Good to hear from you Cobra. Jakes outing soon....And I'm actually down to $50 on 5 innings as well. Been at Greek for a decade, but the future looks grim in terms of sticking around there.....

                      Most likely, it's because of the owner's recent legal issues. Maybe some funds have been frozen or might get confiscated in the near future.

                            Spiro is gone and limits have been getting reduced ever since moving away from U.S. customers.

                                    Ray, feeling pretty good, not near 100% yet but getting better every day. Thanks for asking.

                                    Stump, was there today as a matter of fact. Met one of their 'A' listers to borrow something from her, though the place was filled with the 'B' team. But as you know the 'B' team is still All-Star material. A meet there for sure in the next few weeks.

                                        Ouch I haven't used the greek in a while, but didn't realize they were doing that. At anything related to betphoenix they killed my props a long time ago.

                                          WOW... I have always considered The Greek and a few others as meters for what is really going on in the industry. This does not bode well any which way I look at it I am thinking.

                                            No problem with the withdrawal today, fellow Forumites. Same method; same amount; same time frame. In terms of that important aspect, it's business as usual.....

                                                glad to see it was not just my account that had limits slashed

                                                to start the season the greek was taking in 10k on gameday MLB ML. Then went to 5k and now 3k.

                                                Thanks DOJ

                                                  Does SBR still like ask books stuff? Maybe we could get a statement from greek on them drastically reducing their limits across all sports.

                                                            Hi Onkel,

                                                            Sportsbooks decide an acceptable level of risk and install limits that they're comfortable with. It's actually a good sign that the book actively changes its limits --- it shows their risk management is on the ball.
