MMA limits

**dirtdog52658** · 03-04-17, 10:34 AM

Bookmaker by far 3-5k generally on fight day. 5dimes will usually take anywhere from 1-3k, BOL Caps at 1k, Heritage 500, Jazz 250, Youwager 300-500.

**dudley** · 03-04-17, 10:35 AM

Wow...really? Bookmaker will take 3-5k??

**dirtdog52658** · 03-04-17, 10:36 AM

Right now taking 2k sides and totals but they will raise it later in day I believe.

**dudley** · 03-04-17, 10:45 AM

ok thanks...that's more than freaking vegas will take!

**dirtdog52658** · 03-04-17, 11:20 AM

Yeah when I was out in Vegas last year had trouble betting more than a nickle. Westgate was the best for UFC out there if I remember correctly.

William Hill sportsbook in Nevada takes 10g's

**Jared Brooks** · 03-06-17, 06:28 AM

Thanks for the info.

Do you have any idea how "Vegas Dave" was able to lay $1,000,000 on Tate at UFC 200? Could he be bullshitting?

I think it was through foreign/offshore books. Also quite possible he was bullshitting. Is this the Monkey God speaking?

Heritage limits for 100 on mma parlays I was shocked

**Crusherrr** · 03-06-17, 01:47 PM

With the juice the sites take on MMA why are the limits so low? Is it because they don't get enough action on both sides usually?

I think all sportsbooks limits certain players on how you bet, or how good you are on certain wagers. For example on bet on line, I was limited to 1g parlay on a boxing/mma card but a friend of mine had the same exact wager and they allowed him to bet over 1g.

As dirtdog pointed out, the major offshores are not going to let anyone risk anywhere close to $1 million on a fight. I would really like to know how Dave was able to achieve this.

No, I'm not the Monkey God.

For bigger MMA bettors Bookmaker is far superior to 5Dimes. Take MMA props for example. On 5Dimes you can bet the (very low) $50 limit but then you often have to wait a very long time for the limit to be reset and to place another bet. Sometimes you have to wait 2 hours or more just to place your second $50 bet!

On Bookmaker the limits are usually $1000 or more on MMA props, and you can instantly bet again after hitting the limit. Often you can move the line by hitting the limit, but the instant reset makes it way more convenient compared to 5Dimes.

Vegas Dave has been busted bullshitting in the past. He's got zero credibility.

If I remember right, Vegas Dave made his Miesha bet in Macao.

**Pinoy-T-X** · 03-06-17, 11:40 PM

Yes you can wager more than a million at sportsbooks at Nevada, for example Mayweather placed a million bet on previous Superbowls or when you read the stories of pit bosses take wagers of more than a million, that they have to adjust the line.
The only downside betting that much ( or even more than 10k) is you get taxed by Uncle Sam close to 35% if I'm not mistaken.

I remember him posting his ticket online somewhere. That's too bad, I'm a big fan of that guy.

**Pinoy-T-X** · 03-07-17, 12:16 AM

If you go to his website (Vegas Dave) he has photos of receipts and checks from mostly Vegas sportsbooks of his wagers.

There is a huge difference in total handle between NFL games and UFC fights, and the Superbowl is the most heavily bet sporting event in the US. Therefore the limits for the Superbowl should also be a lot higher.

fwiw i got off a 2,700 bet on woodley at bookmaker last weekend... heritage have 100 limits which shocked me and ive just opened my account with them

He posted a screen shot of his $20,000 bet on Holm over Rousey, but to my knowledge he never posted a ticket for this supposed $1 million bet. Before UFC 200 he wrote,

This will be the biggest wager in sports betting history to be shown on paper. I have found a place that has approved this wager. No it’s not a vegas sports book. I will post the ticket like I always do this time before the fight.

In a video, he said that he "found someone overseas" to take the bet.

But he never posted the ticket that he promised. Instead he posted video and photos of large piles/bags of cash.

Yeah Heritage needs to step up its game. No reason to sign up with such shit limits.

**Grivas_Digeni** · 03-07-17, 04:13 AM

assuming that bookmaker = betcris = betdsi = ??....

... do all of these books/skins have identical limits? Or would Bookmaker offer higher limits, on average, compared to other skins?

Any first-hand info on this would be appreciated.

I can confirm that Bookmaker offers $3000 limits on UFC money lines and increases many to $5000 on the day of the fight.

As for DSI, I have heard that the limits are lower.

Never heard of anyone betting on Betcris, in fact I thought Betcris was just the parent company name and not an actual book.

Vegas dave is a b.s. scammer. Cant believe how gullible some ppl are

All international users were moved from Bookmaker to BetCRIS a few years ago.

I have a BMxxxxx account there too.

Gold.

I think it's fair to assume Vegas Dave is full of shit with his "$1 million on Tate" claim.

I'm hearing that Pinnacle's MMA limits are in the $10,000 range. Can anyone confirm?

I have seen limits of $15,000 at a couple books depending on the event. I was able to put if I wanted up to $50,000 at a few books on Holm/Rousey a coupe years ago. Big fights often bring the big limits.

**cx89** · 08-08-18, 12:14 AM

Bovada has always taken high limits on MMA ($5k as of to date). It use to be their highest limit sport, even higher than NFL spreads. That has changed now but I always thought it was strange they wanted that action over NFL spreads. I don't bet MMA, so I don't know if their offerings are competitive to other books.. just putting it out there.

So currently they are taking 5k on main card let's say fight day?
