of course i could already assume online books have data on every customer and his wagering activity. but unfortunately i still cant find any clues as to *HOW* (and which specific parameters) any staff at a given sportsbook would take specific notice of an account.
fictitious example might be i would surmise that IF any customer attained a threshold profit of say $5,000 US on any day (regardless of his bankroll size) then i might suspect there would be "sirens and flashing red lights" triggered inside the sportsbook office and a manager would sprint over to that staffers computer station and investigate the activity. i might suspect that customers acct would then be manually monitored for several weeks for profit/winning levels, types of wagers, etc, so the book might then set limits.
but what i dont know for a fact (guessing doesnt really help) is at WHAT SPECIFIC THRESHOLD level do staffers/managers take specific notice in any account to trigger restrictions ??
so if a customer bets a variety of sports, a variety of props, on either home teams or visitors, on both favs and dogs, on both overs and unders, sometimes ATS and sometimes moneylines, on a variety of full games and/or halves/quarters/periods/innings -- really with little or no specific patterns whatsoever from the data - AND he he lays an average of 300 very small bets weekly, risking maybe $10,000-$20,000 on average- and his outcome shows no winning pattern but looks like this:
week 1 net win +$100 US,
week 2 net loss -$200 US,
week 3 net win +$433 US,
week 4 net loss -$100 US,
for a ONE MONTH net of roughly +$233 US, after a whopping 1000 bets in a month, risking over $40,000
--- well i wonder if similar account activity would then come under intense scrutiny, for immediately imposing severe restrictions...ive read several stories of customers being restricted severely, from highly respected A-rated books, when winning consistently week-after-week - in the 4-figure range. which makes sense, i suppose. but what about the small stakes customers who may happen to profit BUT by a small amount after rolling over their bankroll 3 or 4 times every month.
sure we can all make guesses about this,
but i am hoping for factual info from an insider
- specific to small bet customers who "profit small" -
turning over bankroll several times -
over a wide variety of differing wagers -
while playing in a A+ or A rated sportsbook.
its kinda like driving over the speed limit.
yes, i am keenly aware that law enforcement officers can and might pull us over and issue a speeding ticket for simply driving only one (1) mile an hr over a 60 mph speed limit. but... 99% of the time in 99% of the jurisdictions around north america that is extremely unlikely to happen on a frequent basis. it could though....but so too could 5 of us win a major lottery during April.speaking with several different traffic cops/sherrifs/state troopers about this, they all agreed. the consensus seems to be a "threshold of at least 5-9 mph OVER the limit" will probably get us flagged and pulled over, and most definitely if higher. in other words they have a definitive threshold from which they will not permit one to "fly under the radar" freely and it will cost us.
recently i have found a few angles resulting in small profit.
it would be large profit if i bet 3-digit amounts but then i suspect i would be flagged for sure.
im trying to "fly under the radar" by making only tiny profits (chump change)
and which sportsbooks or exchanges offer LIVE ACTION wagering on multiple sports and pretty muchignores the small stakes bettor who only makes very small profits ?? (pinnacle does NOT offer the live action wagering i am seeking)
