    Are there any books that allow signiciant wagers on futures?

    All the futures I have been able find offer such low payoffs. They let you bet enough to win 4 to 6k max usually and then their odds drop a ton usually. Is anyone offering 15-20-50k pay outs on picking something that takes a year to cash? There is no satisfaction in winning 4 grand if it took 5 months to win it. These bets need to have a major boost from books I have found. Only vegas takes the real bets on this as far as i know.

    justin7 seems to have busted you out for not having a vaild claim against intertops. Also a SBR screenname bashing a book is tacky and if i am not mistaken not allowed.

    That complaint has nothing to do with me. I just copy pasted my conversation from the livechat after realizing what intertops attempts to do with their "bonus" I used $500 as an example. No deposit was actually made as I had the sense to confirm any possible issues prior to depositing. I did notice that thread though after joining and could have posted my complaint in there as well. I think anyone who uses online books would want to stay away from a sportsbook like that. Aside from that intertops takes absolutely forever to complete a withdrawal. Often taking "5 business days" as if they are a bank or something to complete withdrawals on their sportsbook. They almost certainly do this to allow people who withdrawal most of their balance to stew in their juices a little for a few days and then lose control of their patience and lose some of their balance so that they cannot complete your withdrawal request. Obviously this tactic wouldnt work on everyone but enough people I am sure have suffered from their slow service which of course allows you to play this balance after you have requested its removal for withdrawal.... but this actually doesnt have to do with my original post.. which also has nothing to do with the other guy complaining about intertops once again..

    no limits at exchanges (obviously) - are you somewhere where betfair is an option?

    Some books if you email them and request a certain stake on a bet above your limits will adjust the limits to allow you to get your bet on - though of course if you are trying to pick them off on a price they are slow to move, then they are unlikely to comply.

    Also, if it is paricularly large stake you want then they might break the prices down a bit as well - so if you requested $5000 on a 10/1 shot then they might offer you a max of $2500 on at 10/1 then if you wanted the other $2500 at 9/1 maybe (giving you overall odds of 19/2 or +950).

    Ultimately different books have different rules and practices, so best to ask them and see what they can do to best suit your needs.

    One thing to bear in mind though is the max payout limits for withdrawals - obviously if you want to bet the above with a book that pays out a max $3000 a week/month then if it wins you will be waiting for an eternity to be fully paid out !
