    YouWager Cut My Limits In Half

    Let me preface by saying that prior to today, I've had nothing but amazing things to say about YouWager. Great customer service, bonuses, and payouts.

    Last month, I deposited $550 and turned that into $25,000. All my bets have been over/under, with most being over.
    It's a lot of dumb luck, I'm not great at betting by any means.

    Usually, my limits for those bets are $2,000, but this morning they were cut in half at $1,000. I called into YouWager and the rep said that some games are circled and have a limit, so I tested it. I chose 10 games in a row and they all still had the same limit for me, so he sent me to management. They said that since I only bet over/under, management decided to cut my limits in half.

    This is ridiculous. I've lost a lot of money with YouWager in the past and stuck with them, this is one of the first big runs I've had and they decided to just cut my betting limits.

    Thanks for sharing and great score. It is a sign of active risk mgmt which is a good thing but disappointing when you can't get the bet size you want down, we often tell players to wear it as a badge of honor.

    Worst part about going on runs on YouWager is dealing with 20+ payout requests if doing bitcoin. Last time I ran my balance to $15k it would have taken me 5 weeks to get it out with Bitcoin.

    I hate when books do that you finally get a run they could card less if you are losing but put something together and they screw you. Screw them back stop betting and take out the $25000 and when they bug you to redeposit like they always do tell them no you cut my limits not interested.

    It's good info for the future.

    Try not to focus on a single market too much, to help avoid it happening.

    Whether you are a great capper or not, you are telling them you feel like you have an edge there to only bet a specific market. Have a big score and the person reviewing the account sees all the same bet type. Viola, you're limited.

    Well, you yourself said it was luck! Now you can't lose it back as quick when the luck turns the other way!

    I wish I could win $25 Grand off a $550 deposit and then have them tell me I had to start betting less!

    I know I'm being kinda "opposite" here, but that would be the greatest thing I had ever heard if it was my account!! LOL

    Yeah, screw it, don't start betting $1000 per game now, get every freakin dime of it out.

    And send $550 somewhere else & start over!!

    Put all $25 Grand in the stock market man! Stocks are a lot more fun to me. (And a lot more predictable too!)

    I started putting my big wins in the Stock market about 10 years ago, instead of just losing it all back later.

    And I'm not bragging (maybe I am! LOL) but now I have enough in the market to buy a freakin house!

    (I've already got a house, but I could buy another one!)

    I don't even give a fuk about gambling anymore. this SBR site is plenty for me. I just watch my stocks all the time!

    Stocks bore me. I want a 100 percent profit or110 percent loss every 3 hours.
