I am a professional bettor but I did not bet much at GT Bets - I hit them for 3k with a future bet on Denver to win the super bowl last year and I had not used them for about a year and a half - I contacted them today to see if I could use them against since you can bet on teams to win the division in baseball which is hard to find and they pay fast - was told they did not want my action. How sad is a book kicking people out for 3k.

#4You win 3K, you are out. I took them for 6K. I am still in because I keep the bets small but no bonuses so who cares.Comment -

#5Ridiculous
If they are going to kick you out for betting a $300 future wager at 10-1 they are a joke - I didn't bet to win 10k.Comment -

These two statements are kind of contradictory!
Every genuine "professional bettor" should understand the multitude of reasons this can happen, and only a raw newbie should be so shocked that it happens at all.
It's a bit of a weird 'compliment' to be booted if it's for being sharp. It's an admission you are too good at this game for them.
But we don't really know why you were booted anyway. Books don't give accounts to people they are suspicious of for other reasons as well..Comment -

#14Technically, someone who generates a significant % of their income from it.
Casually, someone who knows how not to lose consistently so they can sustain betting in the long term.
Certainly someone who isn't shocked to learn that books boot people after 10 years of "professional betting"..Comment -

#15I know they booted me because of my winnings - I don't arbitrage or bet bad lines - the point of the post is not to brag but to point out how sad it is to boot a player for winning three thousand dollars.
As far as a contradiction - what is the contradiction between being a professional bettor who has bet for 10 years and being surprised a reputable book would kick someone out for winning 3k - are you need of help with the defintion of that word.
Final point - I can't stand how stupid some books are -if you think a bettor is really that sharp then use them to move the lines - good books with strict limits should welcome sharp bettors to move their lines.Last edited by thomorino; 06-25-17, 09:34 PM.Comment -

#18[QUOTE=Alfa1234;27050776]Pinnacle does this perfectly. Most others follow the Pinnacle movements. If you don't have enough volume on smaller lines, following that tactic on your own as a book is a recipe for disaster. You'd need hundreds of sharp accounts for this to be effective.
Are you not able to read my post - I do know this which is why I'm disappointed GT Bets doesn't do the same. By bad lines I mean that the line was a computer error -not a line with value - come on read first.Comment -

#19Bonus books are bonus books. They are bonus books for a reason. They want to collect a bunch of average bettors and lure them in with free money and have them bust out. They are operating on the cheap. It is a very basic and effective strategy but a dangerous one as well.
They don't want to have an entire staff of analysts that move lines based on sharp accounts. That is what the major books do and they don't give out big bonuses because they don't have a bunch of average bettors to rely on being profitable.
It has never happened. It not going to start happening. It will never happen.Comment -

#26I won more than that from them and only thing they did was lower my reload to 5%. Since you only did a futures bet, I suspect they have info on you from other books that you are an unprofitable player. I won a lot there but overall I'm far from a professional so they didn't cut me off, no book ever has lol I'm a degen. That sucks if books are sharing player profiles, screws pros and semi pros making it much harder to grind out a profit. I could be wrong about them sharing but hard to see one futures bet scaring them away from your action when others won much more and they still welcome them back.Comment -

#28OP is lying.
GTBets does not offer divisional MLB futures.
AL/NL/WS only.
Anyone with a GTBets account can log on and see this for themselves.Last edited by Snowball; 06-27-17, 03:56 PM.Comment -

#29Lol dude are you kidding me - gtbets puts up divisonal futures and pulls them down - every book does this . Topbet has divisional futures too - they pull the lines down because they take time to change them. Topbet's divisonal futures are down right now too - they will be up tomorrow. Your a clown.
On an slightly more interesting note - I did make other bets their besides the futures bet and I won more than I lost but nothing that was significant this was one of several books I used.Comment -

#33Try I haven't deposited at topbet in 3 years but I do have a balance their that is small because i like betting divionsal futures - I have been paid by them every time I've made a request - althought I have not made any requests in the last 7 months when some have reported problems.
My favorite book is betdsi - quickest payouts. I also use bovada and like the overnight lines with betonline. Occassionally I'll take advantage of bonuses at book like skybook - which I think is legit since they were bought by betphoenix.Comment -

#35Yeah waters, that's not really my expertise - I don't think people are limited based on winning or losing percentage - I think its more how much you win or lose. Obviously a book like betdsi will probably not cut your limits unless your betting more than a couple thousand a game. Obviously it depends on the sport too - if you betting the NFL you can obviously bet bigger without hurt them because of the liquidity then if your betting MLB or NBA where the books have more of an issue balancing their book.Comment
