    Which book doesn't limit bets ??

    On bovada and they limit my bet size depending on how much the total payout is.

    Just spoke to 5dimes and their limit is $500.

    Need a book that could take a $5,000 bet. In the US.

    You can rebet at 5Dimes as many times as you like. After a price change or a reset, which is usually 10 mins max.

    Bookmaker takes larger bets and allows rebets too.

    Need to know sport and bet types to know if 5k is big or not.

    Which sports are you looking to wager on? Limits depend on the event. Ex. NBA limits are way higher than WNBA.

    I've done $3k at Bovada on major sports. And if over limits it goes to review with about 50% success rate. They have a high w/d limit though.

    I noticed that Heritage has $5k limit on major sports. Never used 5dimes or Bookmaker. Anyway, GL!

    How do you get those limits for Heritage? Mine have been $1k for Spread and O/U for NBA and NFL. Do I need to ask for higher limits?

    Did you opt for their reduced juice (-105) option?

    I wanted to join AC88, etc. but their chat is sometimes yes to USA players with bitcoin and sometimes no for all USA players. Maybe I missed out. :|

    Bookmaker won't boot winners. 5D will.

    Betonline/Sportsbetting also allows rebet after 61 seconds or line change.

    They are obligated to say no, but have a "don't ask don't tell" policy if you simply ask to open a bitcoin account and don't mention you are from the USA.

    Doesn't sound like normal limits but I'm not an expert (never bet on tennis but definitely $250 on major sports is low). I was invited years ago w/ Heritage and don't know if that makes a difference as now it's opened for anyone to join. I suggest calling and asking for an increase in your limits. If they decline, there are some other decent books out there.

    5Dimes is a bad choice for limit bettors.

    Sometimes 5Dimes lines take 15+ minutes to reset after a limit bet. In particular, the "reduced" lines sometimes take an eternity. Can you imagine trying to make 5 limit bets 10 minutes before a game starts and being frozen out after one bet? It's happened to me before, and I quickly learned that 5Dimes is for small players.

    Bookmaker and Pinnacle are far superior in this regard. The lines reset automatically. Even if you're a whale or a sharp and you shift the line, you can still bet again immediately.

    Edit: I see you're in the US. Bookmaker is the book for you.

    As for the specific limits, it totally depends on the sport.

    Bookmaker is the best for higher limits. It's a large players must have.

    Heard sometimes they will want to “verify your information” on a large withdrawl. Don’t want to have them hold my $ cause I can’t confirm a made up address.

    If you signup as bitcoin only and later need to do KYC for them, you are not penalized for being in the USA.

    But I understand your reticence.

    Is 88 the only major broker like this? Which other major one resembles this?
    Thanks.

    Pinnacle will never ever limit you from my experience. They are easily the best book there is but they don't take US players right now.

    If you have 5k to throw down on a wager just buy a plane ticket to Vegas and do it in cash.

    If you're in the US and trying to get 5k moved around for an online book you're going to get beat up on fee's and trying to get your money in or out. Make life simple on yourself and just catch a flight to Nevada or Delaware.
