Can I win too much?

[Horsepower]

I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I play only win wagers on Horse racing. I average 20% to 25% win ratio and have ROI of 50% + - average. I play almost every day, and will make anywhere from 3 or 4 wagers up to 25 or 30 wagers a day depending on the day of the week and the number of tracks operating on a given day. I do not wager on any horse with odds below 5-2 and never bet against an odds on favorite.

I have been playing at ebetusa and youbet but want to move my wagers up to the point where they would effect the odds so I am looking at taking my game offshore.

Here is my question. At what point will the book say “No More” to my winning 50% ROI? Will the amount of deposit I keep with them make a difference? What level of wager?

I will be living in Costa Rica and using Neteller or Moneybooker for deposits and withdrawals.

Any guidance or suggestions would be helpful.

I am assuming that any of the books listed by SBR as A and B will be safe and not take my money.

Thanks for your help!

The worst that happens offshore (if you play with SBR rated "A" and "B" type books) is they throw you out with a check.

So you move to a new book, no big deal. Read the race rules carefully before you start, limits vary by book, sometimes winnings are capped too. You can find this in the books rules, which are on their website.

GL with your bets.

Like SBR poster Peep mentioned above already. The one thing you have to remember about any offshore book you choose is the max payout disclaimers they all appear to have in place. Another thing you have to take into consideration when playing the ponies offshore is the fact that some books are pretty harsh about past posting.

I follow these rules:

1.Always read all the rules at any sportsbook you wager with. If you violate the rules and hit a big winner, your screwed about getting any recourse.

2.If I run off a long string of winners or get a big win, I start taking money down ASAP, and if I've been winning consistently, I will close up shop and go somewhere else by myself if it is not an "A" book. A lot of the problems with the borderline books start when someone runs up a big balance.

3.I try to limit my best case win scenarios to a reasonable amount by that book's standards.

Stick to horse only books like tvg or youbet IMO

I think he was trying to stay away from those because his bets figure into the mutuel pools and i am guessing at the tracks with a smaller handle he is single handily bringing the odds down. Where as offshore sportsbooks don't figure into the mutuel pools and thus he can bet a $1000 win without worrying about watching his 3-1 horse go to 9-5 because of him.
