    5Dimes just slapped limits on my Nickel line plays?

    wtf? $50 limit. not as if i was winning any kind of money doing it anyway. just hitting a few dogs early and hoping i beat the closing line.

    and by no means am i a big player, with $50 on a baseball game being near my max anyway. had a few $100 plays this year. strange they would place limits higher than what i currently bet, but it still irks me.

    You're not alone. They feel you have a clue.

    Consider it a badge of honor. They have acknowledged that you'll beat them.

    ahh, the constant voice of reason. i had failed to consider it as such.

    but i had the forward looking perspective of knowing while it doesn't hurt me now, it will in the future.

    Anybody knows how to get such limits removed (or changed) ?

    Does losing a few bets achieve it ?

    Once the limits get slapped on, THERE IS NO WAY to remove them.

    The only thing that can (and will likely) happen is the limit cut to get larger.

    You could lose $100,000 and threaten to leave the site if they don't remove the limit collars and they would tell you "farewell".

    That's a good one. Do yourself a favor and don't. For those who don't know, look next to megalomaniac in the dictionary and you'll see his picture.

    I think wagering on-line will either be legalized within the next 2-3 years or made so hard that old style bookies will be fashionable again, who benefits hummmmm

    There are ways to get around the $50 collar. I have exploited it, but I"ve had the collar for years now.

    Yeah, if doesn't take a genius to figure this 'exploit' out either. Tony is a total jackass too, for anyone who didn't already know.

    i have tons of hope that sports betting will be legal in all 50 United States within 5 years. is Vegas already dying?

    here are the things i can legally bet on in Pennsylvania

    Harness Racing
    Thoroughbred Racing, regardless of where the track is located in the United States
    The Stock Market (the most corrupt and fixed betting in the world)
    Slot Machines
    Balckjack
    Video Poker
    Craps
    Roulette
    3-Card Poker
    Hold 'em
    Hold 'em Bonus
    Baccarat
    Even a wheel of fortune game like at fukking fairs
    and of course the Lottery.

    but forget about placing a wager on a baseball or football game because that gambling is bad and we must be protected from ourselves.

    I still remember when I showed up at SBR and they had them listed as a "pro" book. I was laughing so hard. Several of us started lobbying for the change to "rec" book. It actually took several months for the change to take place. Guessing Tony had to approve the change.

    Sometimes 5D will put the $50 limit in effect if you deposit and take a bonus. If you did that call Tony and promise never to take a bonus again and he might put you back to $500.

    for the record I think 5dimes are all a bunch of paranoid pussies and should be not called a sportsbook, but a "costco budget" book. Its good to use when you book some elementary/kindergarden high-rollers at 50 a pop.
