    Am I at risk of getting limited or shut down by 5Dimes?
    I've been a member of 5D for years and years. I've literally probably lost over 100K to them over the years... Always loved the book and continued to feed them despite never having bonuses, just because the lines are so flexible and the customization with my crazy exotics is so easy to do.

    But I'm on that possibly once in a lifetime heater you read about around here. I'm up over 100K in the last month. Is there a chance they get sick of my luck and decide they've had enough? I know 5D has deep pockets and 100K in the big picture is nothing, but how often do they limit winners?

    If you are betting parlays and such, and are down that much lifetime, I wouldn't worry about it. Don't know for sure, but I don't think books limit based on only what you win.

    I am certainly down at a particular A rated book. They have cut my loyalty bonus down to the lowest level, and my limits are much lower than others especially on overnights. Most of action recently there has been golf and MLB props. Other books that have limited me have been on college BB totals and such. If you are betting parlays on like NBA playoffs and winning, I wouldn't worry so much.

    Either way, not the end of the world. Betonline, Heritage and Bookmaker all good books as well.

      It mostly depends on how you win there. If it's not from chasing steam or hitting bad lines you should be fine. Sounds like they have a lot of history on you and if it looks to them the way you describe it, they will probably want to get some of that 100k back instead of driving you away now.

      Nice work on the hot streak too I'd love to have your problem one day

        Are you consistently beating the closing numbers? This is how a sportsbook determine if you are winning bettor long-term.

          books only rate a player based on +EV moves not luck, if your CLV number is too high they might look at it but hardly think they would shut you down over a dollar amount more for a CLV number that is outside the norms of a profitable bettor

            If you were really down $100k and are now back to almost even, should you consider it your lucky day and walk away?

              I can assure everyone here that 5dimes limits for way more than just steam/bad lines. Anyone who Tony considers a threat will be limited eventually. OP may not be one of those people as it seems like he was down a ton and is just on a good run. But Tony will limit for any reason.

                I'm curious to know the best way to withdraw such amounts / the highest one should let it accumulate.

                  That does not mean you win

                    Assuming we get legaized in USA, i'm thinking/hoping someone larger will acquire 5D(hopefully not WH or B365), without of course, removing anything.

                      when you start withdrawing and still winning is when they gonna limit you, every streak is gonna fall and they know that, the only way to truly win is to take a payout

                        Exactly. "Tony" will limit or cut off anyone for any reason. I was with them for about two years and probably lost $1K overall. I was not a winning player with them. Then one day he accused me of exploiting a bad line -- for a whopping $60 -- and he closed my account after I politely refused to kiss his bum. "Tony" is awful and I can't recommend 5D.

                        To their credit, they let me withdraw my funds after cutting me off; they didn't keep my money. But that's about the best I can say of them.
