Maxbet New Rule

**rangerz2478** · 03-11-16, 02:12 AM

I was trying to guess how this benefits them. I am guessing it has to do with limits, allowing them to change odds on smaller bets. Pain in the ass when trading live basketball over multiple sites.

If thats how it works, then that is analness on crack.

Nothing is done by the Bookmaker for the bettor's benefit, all is done only for the bookmaker to get more advantages, in this case it seems to be the agent

Can't even guess who/how this might help.

"Maxbet Forced Position Taking of 50%" <-- confusing line

strange rule and confusion

I don't understand what the endgame is for maxbet or asianconnect. I wonder if there anyway that the player can gain an advantage with this rule?

I wonder if AC are actually tailing all their customers, possibly to increase turnover enough to jump into a better commission deal position with Maxbet.

They told me it's strictly maxbet's decision and they have absolutely no impact over it.

The one and only difference is limits, plain and simple. If you want 1000 euros on a game and the line doesn't change, betting 2000 (1000 real euros) is easy. The problem arises when you are betting a line that changes. As a strictly live player, it hurts me when it comes to getting the amounts I need. The odds change almost immediately after max bets and the limits are low enough to begin with.

There is no possible way a player can gain an advantage with this.

Thanks for the info.

Wonder what Maxbet is up to then. Inflating turnover for a business selloff maybe...

Under the new policy, it allows maxbet to change the odds on smaller bets for the accounts under the PT, without complicating things by changing the posted limits for each account.

Also, the email specifically mentions bitcoin customers. Maybe maxbet feels it is difficult for them to risk manage bitcoin accounts due to the anonymous nature.

Can someone paste the entire paragraph with this rule?

What rule?

It's common sense. In the past if a live market is 500 euros, you could bet 500 euros at -110, and then rebet 500 more at -125 or whatever they change the line to. (maxbet changes lines pretty drastically after a max bet on live hockey/basketball)

Now, that same 500 euro bet is actually 250 for the PT accounts. So you can only get half of what you would have at the same price before it allows them to change the line.

I would imagine this would have a minimal effect on pregame markets. Can't imagine they move the line much on max bets so you should still be able to get as much as you want at the same, or extremely close price.

Seems like its kind of a backdoor way of cutting bet limits in half for American customers. As Americans can only fund their accounts by bitcoin.
