    Anyone ever been Banned from 5Dimes or Bodog?

    I'm mostly wondering if anyone has ever been banned from 5Dimes or Bodog for winning too much money. And if so... how much did you win?

    I've never heard of anyone getting banned by them. If your winning a ton, they just give you $25 limits, basicly forcing you out.

    I was banned from placing online bets at Bodog years ago. I was betting the max and had a winning streak that netted around $10k. Only phone bets were allowed. The lines would always be shaded a half point against me on the phone once I told them which side I wanted.

    Does being limited to $50 bets count as being banned? If so, then yes for 5dimes.

    I was thinking the same thing. I always ask for the lines first when I call in bets for that exact reason.

    So when you get banned what do you do? Just change to another book but sooner or later if you keep winning you just banned from everywhere. So now the only choice is fly to Las Vegas. With all the people loosing everyday you would think these big books could handle someone hitting them for 30K in 1 month.

    If you hedge enough scalp bonuses have multiple accounts or hit them over the head with a hammer, other than that if you take them for a few grand every so often you should be fine.

    A few times I've had Bodog suddenly fail to load after I hit refresh for their live lines too many times. I like to middle and hedge sometimes so during commercials I'll relentlessly pound the site until they post the in play lines. Then again I haven't won more than 50 dollars on a single bet yet.

    I closed my account at Bodog, but I've never been banned from either 5Dimes or Bodog. I never could really win at Bodog. I could imagine Bodog cutting someone off if they kept winning.

    5dimes has a fairly high pain threshold.

    Ok if you find yourself being capped or banned at one of these times simply find a site that holds more liquidity....There are a number of sites out there for 'pros' and not so much the recreational player....GL

    I think reports of ones demise are highly over reported. In other words too many posters say they have been banned or severly limited.... Makes them feel like they look like betting geniuses

    Not "banned" but effectively the same thing when they limit you to amounts which are just a waste of time bothering with them any more.
    Both 5D and Bodog are among those who've done that to me.

    You really don't have to be that good to get banned or limited from some of these Mickey Mouse books like Bodog. I'm certain I wasn't even up 5 figures before Bodog rendered themselves useless for me.

    correct
    Legitbet doesn't have much of a clue on this issue
    you don't even need to be a winner to be severely limited at some shops

    Bodog 88 can play (not sure about Americans) high stakes as the Court itself. Even if you have had account with Bodog, you must open an account with Bodog 88th Have a nice bonus too. $ 128 cash bonus. Also applies to those who had a Bodog account with bodog.com

    I'm sure they worry more about people winning big quickly and cashing out than guys who play steady. They figure if you keep betting, they'll get it all at some point.

    If you are legit and you are hitting them for 2 or 3k a week for several weeks maybe but I do not know anyone that good, 5dimes has bucks to cover your cash outs if you are winning ten of thousands of dollars go to vegas.
