    Have you ever been booted/banned by a book?

    Were you breaking rules or just winning too much?

    It's depressing that even if we can figure out how to win or get a small edge, we can only win so much

    We are more than welcome to lose a million but catch all hell if we go on a run and win 10k

    yeah it's almost as if the people on the other end are just exploitative scumbags that want to take hard-earned money from blue collar degenerate losers but would never entertain the idea of letting a profitable gambler play at their sportsbook

    they are more concerned with customers requesting withdrawals. tony has not yet warmed up to my idea of offering "just leave it in" tee shirts to his clientele who do just that. winning is ok as long as you don't withdraw. he hopes that will entice people with plus balances will promote his book to new depositers. yes, he will pay some modest withdrawal requests, but will either lower your limits or boot you out if it continues consistently.

    Being banned/limited isn't big deal, move on.

    If you are so good that you get banned, you need to take your talents to Vegas.

    My question is if it's a reputable book will they pay you before banning you? Like top 4 USA books.

    use to arb years ago when it was worth it. banned and limited is about what and how you bet and not so much about winning or losing.

    1-Vice booted me and told me i was not the type of person they were looking for because i asked about some information about them on here. They were nice about it though but funny they called me to get me to deposit then i wanted to find out more about them on here and when i did they sent me an e-mail dropping me in a polite way. I actually never made a deposit there they dropped me before i even deposited.

    Youwager banned you ? I won and cashed out $10000 and i am still there. I can only imagine what you must have taken them for to get banned.

    wouldn't say scumbags as some are probably either greedy or just afraid, but overall your post is spot on.

    It's really simple: if you bet steam or value, 99.9% of books will ban or limit you to nothing. It's fundamental to their business.

    There are a few exceptions that make their money by utilising sharp knowledge to refine their lines, and then profiting off that: pinnacle, sbo, ibc.

    Heritage: Booted for complaining about them on SBR.

    Bodog: Stopped taking online bets after a good run. Only phone bets allowed.

    VIP: Booted after a good run and a max bet on a stale line. Only book I saw that didn't take down a game with a major injury shortly before tipoff.

    DSI: After a good run, long bet confirmation delays and odds changed on almost every bet.

    Lots of books are run by guys who don't know the difference between someone on a good run and a long-term winner.

    Yes. Many books. That is why I only stick to Pinnacle, cris/bookmaker and 5dimes. Almost every book will limit you if you are overall account is up....and this doesn't have to be by too much. If your account is up overall and all it takes is about 10k in the plus and they will either give you penny limits or show you the door. Its a joke because some of these books such as ladbrokes, bet365, bodog, heritage etc are rated A or better but they will show you the door if you are a consistent winner. Some will take your action with very small limits. Most people won't even care or realize because they are losing bettors and their overall account is in the red but only the few winners know what it is like. This is why most big winning bettors stick with either pinnacle or cris family of books. Try betting the picks from bettingresource (only their picks) at books like bet365 or bodog or heritage and you will get limited or kicked out before you gain 10k.

    How much does betting resource pay you? or is betting resource your company? Almost all your posts are praising them and their picks

    i heard of them for the first time here in sbr about 3 years ago to a mixed reviews and i finally decided to give it a test myself and hooked ever since. prior to that i was a losing bet going through forums to find edge and what i learned was that these forum mass mostly steer you towards the losing side because most are attention craving degens who are clueless. now i have tried many times to steer some of these goats to winning ways but what i learned is that a degen gambler will always find ways to avoid the right path and only take the wrong path.

    not my company. don't get paid. but they made me tons of money and are continuing to do so.

    i have to disagree, at least with my personal experiences

    ..i withdraw several times a week every time i win races and he has never done anything to me except put me on a small delay on my 2nd to 3rd max on the same driver and that's VERY rare ...and i am not a losing player either so very rarely do i ever make deposits more than a few times a 9-month nascar season...been repeating this for 3+ years now there and no complaints at all from tony or any1 from 5dimes...and never been limited either...he just drops my odds when i bet drivers pretty aggressively
