    do sportsbooks kick people out for winning?

    how much money do you have to be up for a sportsbook to kick you out?

    Depends on the sportsbook.
    Sometimes before kicking you out, they lower your limits to about $100. Then from there, if you keep winning they will kick you out.

    I was first limited to $100 and then kicked out after winning $2,000 at Sports Interaction - very conservative book.
    I was never limited but kicked out of BetUS after winning about $15,000.
    I am now limited in 5Dimes to about $20 a bet after taking them down for another $20,000.

    I don't know why the others are giving you a convoluted explanation. The answer is simple - a lot do, some don't.

    i want to know which do ? If a book like 5dimes limits a player to 20$ bets just because he won over 20,000 there then im disappointed , they are supposed to be an a+ book and they do that

    I think it largely depends on your betting pattern/habits. I am up in the 20k range with 5dimes, but am primarily a nickel player that plays the major sports, with tennis the only "side" sport. I don't follow or chase steam but do try to get the best possible line for my opinion on the game.

    Now I am kind of worried it's going to happen and I just didn't cross that limit barrier yet. Not good considering the limited options we have as Americans.

    Pretty much the only book you can count on not getting limited is Bookmaker. So If you plan on winning big, bet there. If you haven't started winning, don't worry about it.

    There is always Bookmaker and Pinnacle. Never had a problem with a book refusing further action as long as they payout balance and honor all bets that they have taken. Bottom line is that shops have different models some have liberal risk management while others are tight. Good books are the ones that pay without BS, bad ones are the ones that make you jump through hoops, and garbage ones are the ones that stiff (should be known and run out of the game for good) end of rant!

    Heritage kicked me out. I don't think I was up more than $10,000.

    They don't.

    I know a couple of people well enough to believe them when they say they are up more than 100k lifetime at 5Dimes without significant restrictions.

    I been limit to $20 on non UFC mma fights & $100 on UFC fights at 5dimes. I am for sure didn't win over 20g, I barely up but I got limited. It is a mystery why book limits player, I can't figure it out. This 1 book I lost all bets & busted my bankroll, than I made a deposit to find out I got limited...lol. My only crime is to bet on the best line, I line shop to the extreme.

    I've been limited on BetVIP, Sportsbet.com.au and bet-at-home. I never took bet-at-home for anything, just a few 5euro bets went my way (trying them out, not wanting to risk anything) and they changed the rules. BetVIP and Sportsbet I was up a bit after a few weeks starting from not much and got limited to joke bets. But I have been betting ITF tennis matches and I think that's a very small fishpond, so there's that.

    It's not how much you win. It's how you do it.

    I believe that I have an edge on ITF. I understand they are going to restrict me (not bet365 fingers crossed). I guess BetVIP I didn't do well. I went full Kelly for a week, and then the clamp. Live and learn I guess.

    It is extreme tough to beat any sport & expecting bettor to bet on bad line to have good standing with the book is suicidal/stupid. Sport books cut/limit client who is possible winner is not a good way to run business, Pinnacle is a proof how a book should be run. Pinnacle volume is unbelievable compare it competition even with regulation. If open market, Pinnacle likely have over 50% of the market in the world.

    In my view, there are two main types of books: Recreational and pro.

    The recreational books usually give good bonuses and perks, have lines shaded to the public side and medium to low limits. They know they are beatable, so they have to limit or kick players pounding mostly inflated prices or props. SIA, Sportsbook, B365, Bodog, most Euros and many others are in this group.

    The pros books have little or no bonuses, the lines are though to beat and limits are high. As they know it is hard to beat them, they seldom limit players (at most they cut perks). Pinnacle, Bookmaker and SBObet are pros. Exchanges belong here too.

    Between those poles live most books. Some are closer to pros (as Greek), and some are closer to recreationals (rebatewager). Each one has their risk management. Some check biggest winners, some check withdrawing accounts, others check for steam or props, some others check for beaters of the closing line. In short, the more beatable is a book, the stinger the risk management should be to keep profitability.

    Expect 5 dimes to cut your limit to very low to $100 if you bang them for any amount close to 20,000. bookmaker on the other hand wont flinch but expect tighter lines and some latency when placing bets. If your successfull dont count on your free ride to last long at 5 Dimes

    See this is wrong, because on Bookmaker it clearly states that the book is for recreational players ONLY, not professional players.

    Not saying that's false, but my limit at 5dimes is 20% of the standard limits across the board. ($100 on reduced)
