    How can limits be cut?

    I have been betting with about 5 books. BetPhoenix is one of them. I have won over 35,000 combined. Not one book limited me. But I hear all these stories about books limiting them when they win. Wonder how that works. Then again I bet 100-1000. Is the limiting only for high rollers?

    Betting steam, or beating a book consistently. Steam is highest on the list of no-no's.

    Very nice run congrats! It is a possiblity that they noticed your plays are -EV and they have determined you are not an advantage player and think you will give it all back. Depends on who you are and how experienced/skilled you are at this, but by judging by the question you are probably not experienced/skilled (no offense) so iono, it's up to them if they want to continue letting you abuse them. I hope you continue owning!

    35k across 5 reputable book won't get your limits cut, esp if you don't bet steam. wait til you win 35k at phoenix alone, that will get you cut

    Yeah how you gamble is everything, not how much you win. My friend hit crazy 40-1 6 team parlay shots and beat a book for 70k, they didn't shy away from him. Me on the other hand I try and lay 5k on a +130 that was +115 90 min ago, I"m told to take my scalping ass elsewhere.

    In my experience it has little if anything to do with how much you win or lose and everything to do with how frequently you hit their best odds.

    I've been severely limited after just one or two losing bets.

    Arbing, following "steam" or a popular tipping service will do it for you for sure

    A bit crap if 'a popular tipping service' follows your own picks.

    Certain books Bet 365, SIA, Interwetten and others have limits that you can win. Even if your not winning if your showing them that your consistently making +ev bets then your in trouble. I have been barred from all 3 listed here after winning about 12K total from them. SIA has locked my account, interwetten allows me to bet 2 cents max and bet 365 allows me to bet 1.00. Betmania (part of the phoenix group) has limited me in props only. I still have full ability to bet spreads and lines. However due to bonus's etc I don't have a winning record with them, however I am trying to lose there.

    just about any business that has a clue will sever a relationship that's not profitable

    beating the move by enough time to do something with it is a good way to stick around

    I multi at SIA etc and those jokers let you win about 8500 but you have to do it quick

    What are you talking about??? It's just want the posts says, wondering why and how people get limited. I hear posts on forums and just don't know how it works. As what deluxeliner says I'm on a tear, but by no means does my 1.5 years of experience do I call myself an expert or experienced. Or is this anything to brag about. I was just giving some background and hoping someone can answer so I stay away for getting banned or limited. Anyone who knows me in this forum know I don't brag. That's everyone for your answers, and not being a hater.

    Lol, not trying to bust your chops, but this wouldn't be a thinly veiled brag post in a thinly veiled brag thread by any chance, would it?

    you will get your limits cut when you win $500k in a single week within any regular sportsbooks.

    Dude you are so full of Crap that not only is the crap coming out of your mouth but the *** is running down your lips, you couldn't win 35k if i gave you the winners from last nights games. Although you do brag pretty good, but i guess for a shill that is your job, hey how was the 3 some last night with BP, crazy lou and billy boy,

    Hitting obvious bad lines is a great way to get limited. Report the error and you may even get a small free play.

    keep betting ras totals before they move, you'll get plenty of limits and delays.

    why do we see so many ignorant posters on here calling others liars without even a suggestion of backup evidence?
