    Bookmaker, Betonline, Pinnacle… The only non-recreational books left?

    There might be a few credit shops that are non-recreational but the list really has narrowed



    USA wise circa is the only non-recreational book

    Very low app limits unless you’re a big square

    Not necessarily. One way which BetOnline limits you is taking away your rebet ability. AFAIK, you are correct on Bookmaker though.

    A book should never cut a guy unless he wins consistently for more than a year, most guys get cut off lucky streaksbooks are really dumb for the most part

    Panic too quick

    Who's telling you this? Because almost this entire subforum has been saying otherwise.

    Yes, same family as Bookmaker. I think one difference is that people have been reporting non-recreational players have had 5% withdrawal fees added onto their accounts at CRIS, if I remember correctly.

    If BAS doesn’t start limiting people they’ll just go out of business so it doesn’t make a difference anyway

    Lucrative sports betting is going the way if the dodo. Like guys who still try to beat blackjack. Eventually you hit that endpoint if you’re any good. Depends on how far you’re willing to go to get creative I guess

    If they notice you’re getting the best of it they’ll limit you to where it’s not really worth it to play there anymore.

    like donttailme said, that's not true

    unless a decent amount is $5 max on an olympics bet and $25 on nfl full game side

    Terrible idea. No one should be put on delay especially for pregames wagers. Live only reason would be if a player is always trying to past post feeds. Now sometimes you have to put a universal 3-5 second delay on live because you know that your feeds are slow in a given sport but a player should never be put on delay because they are sharp. Only because they are always taking advantage of the slow feeds.
    sidenote: Added juice to the sharp players account is also a retarded idea for multiple reasons.

    I think you can make a correlation liquid sports and bigger limits

    Who in their right mind does not want 10K NFL WAGERS from ANYONE????????????

    Small markets cannot have high limits regardless of book

    SBG GLOBAL takes 5k on MLB, which is decent.

    One of my favorite shops on the planet.

    If you're only interested in betting NBA spreads and NBA moneylines is there a better option than Pinnacle if you don't want to be limited?

    No book should be limiting on the NBA NFL or any major European soccer league like EPL. They are basically losing profit by doing that.
