Books that close your account

[JohnnyFive]

Are there books (the good ones) that will close your account if you start winning on a very consistent basis (month in and month out)? I know Pinnacle boasts that they never do, but, they aren't an option for me as I'm in the US.

I play at BetPop, 5Dimes, bookmaker, and BetIslands right now. Looking to close my Bovada account soon.

Any opinions?

Pretty much all books will impose betting limits and/or close your account if you beat them consistently. Some are much quicker to do so than others.

The exceptions are Pinnacle (as you mentioned), SBOBet (Asian book) and the exchanges (Betfair/Matchbook).
In terms of US facing books, Bookmaker are also very good in terms of accommodating winning players.

Most don't close your account, but limit you to $5 bets

[Sawyer]

these can close your account: forvetbet, stan james, Bet365, bwin, betsson, superbahis etc

5Dimes wont close your account but will limit you. Pro-friendly books like sbo, pinny, greek, bookmaker wont close your account.

The Greek and Pinny don't work with US account like mine right? What about SBO? Any other "pro friendly" books?

No. SBOBet is not US friendly.

So, which are the US Friendly AND pro friendly AND reputable (meaning they pay) books? Is Bookmaker the only one?

mostly their odds aren't pro. friendly though

and away from US sports I've found very low limits imposed by them and they barred me from their loyalty program .... I just gave up on them after that

[reddevil84]

What about Legends and sports interaction ? which one has higher limit and will they close/limit your account ?

It also depends on the types of bets. You are more likely to be limited if you beat them on low volume events where they can't trade out of your winning bets.

for US player Bookmaker and Dsi(cris family) are you best choice, they dont limit winners if you play it fair, and are safe as any bank.Odds are not that great.

i haven't seen any evidence that 5dimes places limits, and i've won a lot off of them.

5D will limit you or put a "checking price" before every wager you want to place, often moving the line slightly against you.

Here are my experiences at the more popular places:

bookmaker - Will let you bet at full limits and never put limits on you but will take away the rewards program if you win.

5dimes - Had my reduced juice taken away after about 15 max bets. Got yelled at by the owner. Customer service is mean to me. I still can bet at full limits but get no perks.

Heritage - Awful experience. Was limited and put on delay within three weeks of them buying my account. Was also banned from all contests

[Foosball Champ]

Bookmaker,betonline legendz bodog 5dimes will all severely limit you or another trick that they do is to not let you bet online. Phone only.

Tomato was limited to $500 and a 15 second delay at DSI after 1 bet.

Don't confuse DSI with a real book (CRIS) because they look similar.

Tomato, what sport was it? Ice Hockey/Soccer?

if you play it fair they will not limit you, if every play you make is steam or a arb they problably will not like your bussiness

Why is betting steam not fair? Steam does not always win. Some of these books are weak. Unless the fix is in, who knows what the outcome of a sporting event is going to be?
