    Questions on NFL betting and bet365

    I have been enjoying doing mutiple bet plays on NFL games this season; had some ups and downs - but last week did pretty decent.
    I just happen to come across this website and read a bunch of posts about how betting agencies will cut limits and or try very hard to not payout or from what I read even instances of theft from companies ...

    I had no idea it was legal to do things like this. It sounds like if you are any good at this you have to figure out ways to keep playing by betting at various agencies and dealing with all the hassels.

    atm I am using Bet365 (and Really like their setup for NFL games) - but from what I read if I keep winning or seek to withdraw money then they will seek to implement the above measures.
     
    - Can they physical (or eletronically sort of speak) take money that I have won in my account? and not pay it out?

    - Are there tricks to keeping a account active while still winning (assuming I am picking the right ones of course)

    - I really like doing mutiple bets (are they called parleys); if bet365 ends up limiting me(or something) what other agencies would you suggest that offer NFL mutiple bets (some of the sites listed dont allow you to see their bets etc until you sign up it appears).

    thanks

    Won't be any problem getting paid by bet365, but they will limit fast if you win. You're particularly asking for trouble on that score by playing American sports in European books, outside their core expertise and thus many soft lines.

    if you play parlays, you do not get reduced vig (=higher odds), so it is not so important to play at particular sportsbook, unless there is some promotion for parlays

    sportsbooks that will not limit you, or limit you much later /probably never if you play parlays/, are the ones ranked professional - recently pinnaclesports, betcris, thegreek and that is it, wsex is in troubles

    but it will take some time for bet365 to limit you - they recently improved with limits, they are also expanding to new european countries and if you are lucky enough and you are from the country that is their new marketing target, you will get the limit later

    Im playing from the UK - and have been doing some crazy parleys lately with huge odds. While granted they are long shots; I've gotten quite close on a few of them.

    btw one more question - is moneybookers a good company to use when moving money back and forth between my bank and betting agencies?

    I hardly play parlays but doesn't bet365 offer enhanced odds on parlays involving US sports ?

    Moneybookers is very good but it's not a bank and your balance is not insured.

    Your Moneybookers balance is insured up to £1000 anthing over that will be lost if Moneybookers went bust.

    For UK bookies, Neteller is the most widely accepted e-wallet.
    On the continent, Moneybookers is more widespread.

    I have a Neteller account denominated in GBP and Moneybookers in EUR.
    I use (pretty much every day actually) a Net+ (Neteller) ********** which means I rarely have to make a withdrawal - the only thing that Neteller charge for.

    Bet365 limited me when my total winnings were $390, equal 101.9% ROI. I'm not too happy about that but before they limited me they were great as far as offers and everything else went.

    Now I can't even request to bet on markets like I can on many other bookies where i'm limited.
