Getting Limited

[Goodluck]

Hey all,

Just wondering what it normally takes for a book to limit a player?
Or how they deem a player to be a sharp/ professional therefore limiting their action.

More specifically, I'm playing at WagerWeb and before anyone flames the book. It does me good and i'm very pleased and satisfied with them so im staying!
The only reason why i ask is cause ever since legendz swapped me over, i've only deposited about $500-$800. And with my last deposit of $200 with FP of another $200. I've won roughly about 8k from them in the course of 3 weeks and pretty much had a $700-$800 max payout from ** everyday or every other day.
Are they banking to keep me around so i can re-up twice as much in the future? (most likely the case)
I mean, its business... and so far, it looks as if i'm a bad deal as far as their concerned....
But in the end, i'm worried they may limit me...

And btw, i aint no sharp. Just hitting the right teams...

Any idea guys?

[Goodluck]

If it helps, i bet straight bets/ reverses and some parlays. Straight bets are generally $150-$300 each bet

Nobody's going to limit you for betting $150-$300 dollar bets--with the possible exception of Dimeline.

[bettingstation]

if you are winning... for sure... even if you are not professional... that the big problem of sportsbook... they should not limit players otherwise they should do something to satisfy their players...

It depends on book.

Unlike many people think, books usually don't limit you because you're winning. In fact, book is not interested in your win rate. Book limits you if you're picking good lines and beating closer. Let's say you opened an account with a book and you placed 5 bets and lost it all. You may be get limited if you picked value odds/lines.

For example,

Let's say Salzburg is 2,25.
Odds dropping. You picked Salzburg at 2,25 and odds dropped to 2,00. Good bye! You will get limited in no time.

Some books consider your withdraw/payout activities when limiting.

There's some ways to avoid..uh, I mean to "delay" limit. Search SBR Forum and you will find my article about it.

But remember, Times have changed. Whatever you do, Limits are unavoidable just like taxes and death.

European books will.

so what do you suggest we do? take lines with no value just so we can get limited slower? how stupid does that sound..

Im sorry but If I see a good line im going to play it.

Sawyer hit the nail on the head is no more discussion in this thread great post Sawyer

[Goodluck]

Thanks for the info all.

[bookie]

European books will.

For major sports? Or for obscure tennis tournaments? No book will limit you for betting $300 on the full game lines of the major professional U.S. sports--not matter you're win rate. Does anybody disagree with that?

Don't know about $300 exactly but I have seen accounts limited where range was $400 to $500 a wager

[Goodluck]

I know some have mentioned its the "valued plays" and/ or "amount wagered" but what about action on a daily basis? Like going 9/10 or 4/5 with a win percentage of 85% +?

Some books do.

Yes for major sports

Mlb
Ncaab etc

[increasedodds]

Why does anyone worry about this? It varies by book and what u are playing. Very few will limit u for beating nfl sides or totals. Most will limit u for beating props, golf, etc

But who cares. If u get limited u are winning. U then get a new book or new name computer and ip

[King_Suckerman]

I try to keep under the radar - only bet on big sports and keep the size of the bet relatively low.

Hareeba disagrees with you! According to him there are only 3 online books that will accept a bet over $1

You won't get limited for simply having a good streak. You aren't going to win 85% long term.

[jjgold]

most non usa books only limit arbers which only are guys betting bad lines

Unless you are capable of doing it correctly, don't attempt to quote me and STFU.

[bettingstation]

they should not limit players... they should balance their books...

[robmpink]

Whatever book you play at, if you get limited, you get limited. Nothing you could do. Getting limited in the middle of a rollover is up for debate though. Sort of like a low blow.

What about players like hareeba that never even get to the deposit stage and get banned. What does that say?

Books are not interested in your win rate. They're interested if you're beating the closer or not.
And if you withdraw too much money, all books except few (Pinnacle and asian books) will limit you.

I don't know about Hareeba's story.If he met the rollover and they asked him not to play that is the books decision. Not much you could do. I guess he beat them on freeplays and they were on to him.

If you are referring to my recent Ladbrokes experience, I never even got to play. My account was closed within 2 hours of being opened and I hadn't even attempted to make a bet. I got no freeplays and had no rollover commitment.

I thought hareeba was mainly a horseplayer??

[bettingstation]

hopefully sbr team do something about this limit issue.....

I'm into both sports and horse racing.

Ladbrokes.com.au has some excellent racing products and promotions.

Betfred will limit you to $50 after even one winning day, they are unquestionably the worst.

More money for tabcorp then

''It has not suspended customers solely for winning,'' said the spokesman. ''It is standard global bookmaking practice as part of managing your book to place restrictions on some products for a very small segment of customers.''

Do you expect them to move to Tasmania?
