    Are you talking about placing 100k on one single match?

    This.
    Not a single off shore book, and even some of the brick and mortar shops.

    If so, how can professional bettors bet huge amount of money? I mean.. 100k, 500k or even 1 million!

    Professional bettors aren't making bets like that. You're reading too many BS articles.

    Individual bettors most likely not, I'm aware of a few syndicates (groups) that do.

    You don’t have a 100k to bet now so no need to ask.


    Money is drying up everywhere.

    Pinnacle allows bettors to place bets like that.. I've seen many times huge limits in the highest level of soccer football leagues.. Even 200k limit sometimes.. The question is.. How much can I trust these sharp bookmakers? Let's say you want to deposit 50k on Pinnacle and wager this amount of money in a single bet.. Would you trust them?

    If I want to place a bet like that I would use a broker, or multiple bets on Pinnacle.
    But at this time in human history I would not trust anybody to place a bet.

    If someone bets a million dollars a game they are an idiot.

    Betfair, all of it. That is for best odds with a low commission deal though.

    Would feel happy having 100k in any UK high street bookmaker, bet365 and perhaps Pinnacle. I withdrew 6 figures from Pin but that was due to lack of action rather than safety concerns

    I might keep 5Dimes if I had Pinny, maybe but that's it.

    I understand some people love Heritage but I don't entirely trust them.

    I'm lucky because I opened my Pinny account many years ago when they still accepted italian players, so I can still bet with them.. But now they don't accept no further registrations from Italy.

    Why don't you ask what you actually want to ask? Your question makes no sense, and you don't have 100k anyways.

    What part of my question you don't understand? 100k is an hypothetical amount of money.. It's big money! .. I could have said 200k, 500k, 1 million!.. The question is.. How do you diversify such big amounts? Which are the bookies you would trust the most if you could choose among american bookies, asian bookies, european bookies, agents.. ?

    If this question was made a month ago-
    I would fully trust Pinnacle, any betcris family book (bookmaker, Justbet etc) as for brokers probably sportsmarket and Asianconnection, all bookies regulated in UK will pay you but if you win your out the door.
    God bless Italy at this time of or history

    OK, in all seriousness,
    once this pandemic is over and sports have resumed,
    review the A+ and A listed books listed on SBR.... and
    betting exchanges deserve a serious look ....but all with
    the intent that you have 10-15 outs to make for much
    smaller wagers in each
    ie. don't put all your eggs in one basket
    In this way, virtually any highly rated books will suffice.
    But you DON'T want to be betting large at any one book
    on ONE event because you run the very real risk of
    THEM "limiting" further bets...or even suspending your
    account after awhile and banning you....unless you LOSE of course.

    Why not just "bet" on real estate instead? Buy a property with it and get a monthly income, although not sure how easy that is to rent out a place right now where so many people lost their job ... so yeah... back to square 1 ... I personally wouldn't place a bet with so much money, the most I'd ever risk is $10k and that would be with bookmakers in the UK, in the shops, spread it $1k each & max with at least 10 different betting shops.
