    Greek limits raised :)

    After years of having to cope with $300 limits on tennis (outside of GS events) I was surprised and very pleased to find a limit of $500 yesterday and even moreso today when I was able to wager $1,000 on a WTA match.

    Without volume from BJam and the action they lost as a result of rotation snafu--this could be the beginning of lots of things they try new to increase volume. They were always good/fair with risk management. We will see if they can maintain that as they increase limits.

    It's not just tennis.
    What they would have to do is get rid of the high juice in soccer, tennis etc.
    They don't need that with their good line managers really.

    That is good news for their players however, as the gentlemen above mentioned. Have the limits in other sports increased at all or is everything still pretty much the same as before?

    Start 100 max (to win) early on, then peak at $350 up to game time. Don't know if that's just for me,or across the board.

    And Hareeba, thanks for the heads up. $1000 indeed it is on tennis, which for The Greek is a pretty significant hike.....

    I suspect you're simply having a shot at me but firstly, arbing doesn't interest me, I'm strictly a value punter but more importantly that is very dangerous advice as Greek's rules for tennis differ to those at Betfair so attempting to arb could leave you with a loss on both sides.

    Doesn't this put you at risk of circumventing limits?

    sorry mate, don't understand what you're getting at

    you can only bet up to the limit that displays when you select the bet

    they won't let you bet again that same day unless the odds have moved
