Closed account because winning

they will just cut you off from bonuses and maybe slash your limits by half until you decide to stop playing there

Jarbo11 · 09-02-10, 03:33 PM

Maybe they don't like wise guys.

Got to spread out your play. Beat several people for small amts instead of one person for alot.

Well, unless the one person is Match or Pinny.

Whats the name of the sportsbook? Its not uncommon for many of these places to cut off winners.

Matchbook will not cut you off. They are an exchange that allows bettors to make/accept offers. If you are winning at a juice sportsbook, then you will seriously increase your bankroll at Matchbook.

Almost any rec book will eventually shut you down. Welcome to the club!

Actually, you should be extremely thankful that the banishment message took 7 or 8 years to reach you.....Congratulations regardless.

What book was it?

dogman · 09-02-10, 06:36 PM

Irish, I'd rather not say just yet as they are still letting me play there, but they are a B+ book and I have always been paid promptly when asked for a deposit. The thing is I am not what you consider a big bettor as I always liked to grind it out then look for the big payday. I did play some correlated parlays last year and I am pretty sure that was the big reason.

I guess the answer is in Katstale thread of spreading out your wagers into more books

if you are winning like you say u are you should become a sports advisor to people with money. bring them your history and show they you can win and you will make a shitload of guaranteed money, no different than a stock broker. that is the route you should be taking and not screwing around at a sportsbook that doesn't like you.

Exactly, plus there's absolutely zero risk involved.

7 or 8 years of winning at a book is pretty good without a hassle. I would pack up and move on since you are obviously not welcome there anymore. Leave with your money is my opinion and don't wait to get stiffed, or have some big problem.

dogman · 09-03-10, 09:00 AM

Climate, I think that is what I am going to do.

chunnnn2010 · 09-03-10, 09:10 AM

some great sportsbooks will just lower your limits or stop offering you any bonus.

B+

. A/A+(some of them) books will do the same, and you guys (sbr) rate them on the top of the list .

Can recreational book top sdr rating with A+ ? I say no .
The question is . Why you guys (sbr) put them in the same group with pinny and BF?
All respect to you Justin7!

Cheers GL.

Even the top books in the industry may eventually take action against a player who constantly beats them over 8 years this is why sometimes sharp players are forced to intentionally make square plays at books that they continuously beat in order to stay under the radar.

I believe a books rating is related to payouts and CS. Just like the top casinos in vegas will ban card counters in blackjack sportsbooks are also in the business of making money not giving it away it is unfair but that is the way it is, courts in LV ruled that casinos had a right to ban anyone from their establishment that they want to with the exception of racism.

not player friendly then. Hope your experience there improves.

gman2114 · 09-03-10, 10:49 AM

If a book holding your money is as safe as your local bank, it doesn't matter if they are rec or pro. Every book has a right to limit players' action however it feels (as long as it pays the player).

Yep, spread it around and some of your accounts will actually show you losing even though overall you are a winning bettor. I sometimes have great runs at one book over another just because it happens to go that way, but then eventually I will lose at that account too. Another thing is if you have plays you consider riskier than others you can steer them toward that winning account. Anyway, just spread them around and you should be okay in the future.

BoL,

It happened to me at BetOnline. They were B+ at the time. They were posting all over this forum about how they would accept you back if you had been previously cut off, for any reason. When I asked why they would ban me at a time they were taking back players that had been cut off, they (Alex) said, "You are the only one we are not taking back."

I just had my book (a B+ rating) threaten to close my account because I am a lifetime winner there. Is that commom of most sportsbooks to do this. I talked them into letting me play there but I was somewhat surprised. They told me they would rather me not play there.

This is a book I never had a problem with and have belonged there for at leat 7 or 8 years.

Wow! What a refreshing slice of honesty, your book is to be applauded.... instead of treating you like a criminal and treating you like sh*t, they just simply told the truth and said ok, that's enuff.

Don't push your luck, you need to thank them for their service and get out.
