    Bookmaker Lowering Limits?

    Has anyone had their limits lowered by Bookmaker? I read on the SBR website they have No Collar Limits and they accept all action but they have cut my limits on 2H MLB Lines from 2K to 1K, even AFTER LOSING 8K. Seems odd to me to be cut after losing so much!

    I'm surprised they cut your limits. Their baseball lines are absurd. You really shouldn't be playing bases there.

    They pegged you as a sharp. You can still call it in most likely for 2k

    Do you know of any other books that do 2H Baseball for decent ($1K+) Limits?

    At a lower level book like Bodog I can see getting lowered if they think you are a sharp, but at an A+ Rated book like Bookmaker that claims to take Professional action it seems strange unless they are having troubles.

    Not at liberty to say all I have seen or had reported to me with Cris group in the last 30 days, but certainly they are engaging in some practices I never thought i would see with them. Has to be as a result of liquidity issues. Nothing else really makes sense. They have always been sensitive abt alternate lines and some 1h wagers, but this new stuff.....

    they took step back a bit early lines do not have the high limits they once had. they used to put out a line and immediately it would have the game time max limit now they wait to raise limits up to closer to start time.

    my limit is still 2k for mlb 2nd halfs

    For me, this always seemed to be the best approach. Can take advantage of market sentiment to find sharper lines, without getting clobbered by max bets.

    Did you place a bet right after runs were scored in the bottom of the 5th inning not giving Bookmaker a chance to update the odds to account for it?
