Will you get restricted if you only play large spread CF MoneyLines?

I don't know if it's a common practice but I am wondering what could be the reason for this

In large spread CF games, favorites have almost a 100% chance of winning. Hence the ML is kind of free money for a bettor. From the Bookie POV, no bettor is gonna take the dog in a large CF game, so it's mainly a one sided bet. So to limit risk, it makes total sense for a bookie to restrict such bets.

If you parlay them, you get a good return

Yeah...I'm just curious how much you're wagering to get yourself limited. $500? $1000? I love NCAAF ML parlays...usually wager around $200 and have had no problems.

Thanks allin again

No book in its right mind would limit any player for only betting money lines (especially large). Even better if your betting them as parlays.

**eberetta1** · 11-13-13, 10:21 AM

I notice Bookmakers habit of not listing moneylines until the day of the game, if this helps.

**BenGooGa** · 11-13-13, 10:28 AM

Perfect guys, this is a def helpful info.
if i win this weekend, dinner & drinks on me

**relaaxx** · 11-13-13, 01:55 PM

this is the way it is suppose to work here. someone asks a question and without someone criticizing them for even asking the question people respond with helpful suggestions. good to see that it still works here. gets lost sometimes with all the name calling.

well , big moneylines are not easy money , check u.s.c the last few years , and every year there will be several of those games . it certainly if the book was going to lose money for certain they wouldn't offer the bet in the first place. I have lost plenty of money thinking this game or that game is sure moneyline winner

**tb1984** · 11-13-13, 02:51 PM

I know that some books(not sure about Bookmaker) don't post MLs less than -1000(i.e no -1200, -1500).

And that's the truth!
Any experienced gambler knows it.
Only newbies, and particularly those who think chasing is the way to go think otherwise.

There is no such thing as a certainty. Every day we see players, teams and horses lose after being backed at 1.01.

Absolutely agree with you guys. I am new myself, and found it really hard to make a profit on capping. So low odds make more sense for me at this stage. I think i will come to your conclusion as i mature in betting.

**BigdaddyQH** · 11-13-13, 05:17 PM

It is not that difficult making money on big ML's if you follow a few simple rules. I always play a visitor with big ML's because visitors go in knowing that they will be facing a hostile crowd. That, in itself, is enough to get the teams attention. Home teams that are huge favorites tend to forget about the game and look forward to the next game. Also, be very choosy about the games you play. I have played 10 this season and that is it. I have won all 10.

**BigdaddyQH** · 11-13-13, 05:20 PM

One other thing. I play these games in Vegas, where generally speaking, you can get these types of wagers for large amounts of money.
Off Shore Books are very questionable when it comes to these types of wagers.

Planning to move to Vegas, you guys seem to have a lot of fun.

**BigdaddyQH** · 11-13-13, 05:45 PM

It not just that we have more fun. It is knowing that when you put your money down, your payment will be there 5 minuts after the game ends and you win. None of this despoit caca and waiting for months to get paid. No disputes about ticckets. It is printed out for you and you have time to make corrections. There is a lot less B.S. in Vegas.

**playoffhero12** · 11-14-13, 01:07 AM

I agree BiddaddyQH can you message me or shoot me a text I will be going to vegas in december for 6 days and plan on doing some betting but know nothing about the sports books there so would like to talk to someone who knows what hes talking about and that sounds like you
my name is James 920-712-2366

**Redondo** · 11-14-13, 01:32 AM

dumb questions if you kick ass a betting bet as big as you want and get limited take it as a compliment and move on to the next. a question like this is like asking will you take a bet for 25k? bookmaker yes sir we will how much would you like to bet?, reply dumbass asking questions: ok i'll take the bulls -6 for $300.
