How much do I have to be up before a sportsbook boots me

it a good problem to have, but getting kicked out depends on the book , places like greek , and pinnacle will have the highest limits, and matchbook will never boot you

I guess I'm asking because I'm not playing at either one of those books. I have had a good relationship with a certain book(i.e have never been a big winner their and been playing for 7 years). They have been paying me regularly. I don't trust leaving a big balance anywhere I'll just eat the heavy fees. So, I'm wondering how long until they get sick of paying me. I don't expect my run to last so I guess this a hypothetical question.

Another question, how much does a big online book net a month? I've always wondered that.

Well Asz, like speculator noted, unless you are at one of the books he mentioned, it's pretty much a done deal that you will eventually be limited if you keep winning.

BetCris lets you win a fair bet, and BetFair used to, but honestly there is no other book that comes to mind that is quite "tolerant" for lack of a better word when it comes to a profitable customer. Others might be able to help you out by listing any I'm not aware of.

If you feel you are getting close to being shown the door, SOP in many cases is to first put you on wager delay and/or lower your limits but again, depending on the book, this could be a gradual process (5Dimes comes to mind) or a massive limit decrease all at once (Bet$3.65...WagerWeb).

Thanks for the input fellas. Looks like I'll be opening an account at the greek.

Depends on the book. The smarter books don't care how much you win, only how you're doing it. Others look only at results and cut you either at a certain number or whenever they get scared.

aszzzbrokerman,

the following reputable books will not boot you for winning. Stick with them and forget the rest. Because the practice of booting a customer solely becuase he/she made money is absolutely wrong and corrupt in my opinion. What's the point of using a book if you're only allowed to lose money?

Stick with Greek, matchbook and bookmaker. Wsex is also an option but understand that they've been having 1 or 2 month long delays with payouts about every 6 months or so. As you can see, thanks to the Republicans and Bush from 2006, your options are very limited regarding books that treat customers fairly. There were more options before but now the industry has been driving underground even more and thus become more shady.
