From reading the forum, there are a few books out there that like to give out big bonuses, but if the punter wins they claim the punter is non-recreational and void all his previously graded wagers and refund the deposit. This is the only time this pro verses recreational labeling comes into play --- when a book wants to cheat a winning customer. So, the book could take back your winnings by labeling you non-recreational -- even tho both of us made the same bets and I was not given that label because I also made several losing bets/
