    BTC sportsbooks w/ decent limits?

    Hi all - looking for some help here. I am trying to find sportsbooks that take BTC and are accessible from Canada. I only do live betting and am trying to find books where I can reasonably get at least 2-3k live limits on NBA or other comparably big leagues. I just got limited on betcoin/playbetr after literally 12-14 hours - now limits are like $100 or less, even on Melbourne Open live lines.

    As for sportsbooks that allow deposits in BTC, I've been limited (or acc is otherwise unusable) at: betonline, sportsbetting.ag, betcoin/playbetr, nitrogen/nitrobetting, stake, bodog, cloudbet and long list of ultraplay odds provider clones (they do esports for betonline/sportsbetting.ag). Feels as if I'm running out of options. I know some books have MuchBetter as withdrawal option, but to put BTC into MuchBetter incurs a 2% fee IIRC.

    Thanks in advance.

    P.S - to jjgold if you start posting stupid shit - just know I made more money sportsbetting last year then you have made in your pitiful life. And I would bet a good amount of money on that. So please do your trolling somewhere else

    Send a support ticket to Betcoin. Sometimes they will work with you and increase limits.

    Fairlay, and withdraws are basically instant, you will be able to get down as much as you want.

    Sounds like you are getting down to asian agent territory.

    I will try - but what should I even say? I got limited within 12 hours, so I'm skeptical that they would randomly re-increase my limits...

    How is the availability/liquidity of livebetting? I think I heard there wasn't much opportunity for that on Fairlay (not that I've tried, but I have an account)

    Hi Optional Issue is my strategy largely revolves around pouncing on soft books' mispriced live lines. I dont know if I'd even have an edge on asian books, if any

    Did you join to hit a bad line first bet?

    Raiders is correct about them being easy to talk to about this stuff.

    No - I just put like 4-5k (?) on live tennis lines/NFL/NBA. I just get copy pasted this when asking to review limits

    Limits are based on various factors including market size, maximum market liability, and player skill level. We review limits and the way they are affected by these risk factors often. If you believe you received this limit in error, please provide us the information on the attempted wager, including match, market, and the amount you attempted. We will continue to discuss and review these on a regular basis and please feel free to reach out any time to check on this.

    jjgold is a worthless troll who knows nothing about the industry. His continuation on SBR looks poorly for them. To your question, 2 - 3k is not a "reasonable" live limit. There's way too much risk involved for sportsbooks to take that kind of action on live betting. You could easily be over 100k in the black within a few days. And, I'm sure anyone putting 4k on a live wager is going to draw a red flag. So Optional might be right, you may need to get a local who has no clue about live totals or an Asian agent to take your action. On a side note, there are live betting syndicates out there that a lot of better books and professional PPH's are looking at. If you are apart of them, you might be out of luck.

    Betcoin's limits can be different for each sport. Even if you are limited pregame, you may be able to get down more live. Betcoin has live chat and you can also write a support ticket. I've found their customer service to be one of the best.

    Thanks for the reply. I honestly could not tell if jjgold was trolling or just really, really stupid.
    I did not know that books were not willing to take exposure on 2-3k live line bets. I have been however able to open accounts on various sites (some crypto) and consistently bet 2-3k spreads/MLs - but usually get limited after a few days. I guess what you are saying is you cannot 'reasonably' consistently bet that amount, win, and not get limited?
    About the last bit - you're saying that live betting syndicates get access to better books that others don't have access to?

    Everytime I talk to live chat about limits they tell me to go to support. I get copy pasted the same thing everytime. I'm limited to <$10 on any live lines and not too concerned about pregame limits because I can go to most sites and get money down there. Thanks for the help anyways though

    Sure I'll take the bait.
    1. Why do you say I'm arbing? Is it so unfathomable that someone can consistently beat soft books (you are really stupid so I guess you could be thinking this) and make money long-term?
    2. What is wrong with arbing - and since you are a lifetime loser, shouldn't you be doing anything you can to squeeze out profit on any edge you have?
