Have you tried Paddy Power? They will limit but not as quickly as others seem to do.

paddy limits even quicker...
forget about the uk books and those kind of amounts, especially if you're apparently planning to bet off-market numbers. they're all useless.

I know the name but never played there yet. They fit the criteria so far talking to a CS. Thanks for the tip mate. Will give them ago.

Even if you only hit em a couple of times it's worth it. I bet a few euro sports so I might not get limited as quick.

NONE of the Euro books will accommodate you for that sort of bet for very long. Expekt probably will give you the best run but be prepared for them to cut you off suddenly.

Betfair and Matchbook would probably be your best options or try the Asian books, SBO for example. I've not played US sports with them though so not sure how they treat them but they are excellent for soccer.

Standard limit for SBOBet on American football is GBP 500, but they will increase this if you ask them to. Am not sure why the OP specified UK books (they are useless for US Sports) in my experience the best overall books for NFL for non-US players is as follows, all of them accept Neteller,

1) Matchbook
2) Pinnacle
3) BetPhoenix/Sports-1** (specify that you want the -105 lines when signing up)
4) Betfair (only for matches which are televised in the UK otherwise getting GBP 1000 matched would take an hour or so of ´feeding in´ at the market level).

The US facing A rated books are OK but are pretty much all at -110 and lines are often identical, of them if I had to choose one I would go with The Greek.

** Using Neteller at the BetPheonix group is awkward unless your Neteller account is denominated in USD.

There are quite a few that take 1k+, but the problem is more with stale lines. They prefer just to ban/limit quickly than invest in linesmakers with a clue.

Bear in mind that American Football (and other US Sports) are very much minority sports over here and as such outside the area of their expertise. Any big money bet on US football is likely to be smart money.

To use a reverse example, you cant bet more than GBP 50 with Pinnacle on a european volleyball match and even that tends to result in the line moving 5-10 points.

High street uk bookies william hill coral ladbrokes often limit people bet once they bet more than 50GBP (more than that amount they will refer to traders).

One time I want to bet brazil match coral manager say no cause they need to ring HQ to find the match so they refuse my bet. When I complain cause I saw the match on website they say no and give me premium number (0870) to complain.

Williamhill Ladbrokes only offer UK football coupon (home win,draw , away win) no asian handicap over 2.5 goals european football market.

Most uk books nowadays have ridiculous limits, and if not they apply them after a while..

pjesnik24 · 12-15-09, 01:57 PM

you can place that kind of amount at any UK or European book but it usually stays by ONE bet. second bet is then usually 57.34 and 5th bet 3.23 US$
