    William Hill, Bet365 = limits?

    Hi Guys

    I see that many of you use William Hill.

    I would love to join. But I've heard that they limit the amount you can bet on, as soon as you start winning bets. Which means, you can never expect to get any profit (just entertain yourself by losing $$$)?

    Have heard the same about Bet365.

    Any opinions on these two books, regarding "bet limits".

    Thanks

    Both are rock solid, but like nearly all UK books will either quickly limit/close you down if they deem you are sharp and a non-profitable customer.

    I can certainly vouch for this, having been reduced to betting peanuts at nearly every bookie site in Europe.

    You can open account no problem. Maybe they limit you maybe not.I would say maybe few guys in 10 are limited.

    I never got limited at bet365 or willhill.
    for what I heard from other user they dont care if you win or lose with them, they realy dont like punters who constantly beat their best prices and arbs.

    Siz of the bet doesn't matter - if you're playing like a mug they're quite happy to take high bets (especially willhill, they have a highrollers' dept).

    Over the weekend you can take bet365 for 2-3k before they limit you .
    If you know what you are doing

    Bet 365 has a nice initial 100% cash bonus based a max $200 deposit with reasonable rollover (think it's 4x or 5x) but once you start betting large and win a few games, things suddenly change. Not recommended for long term play in my opinion.

    Well really 80% of books are going to cut your limits if you win although no idea why because they would get it back if they let player keep betting.

    as was stated above, it's now how much but how you win

    and players who know how won't be giving it back
    the books know that and that's why they limit severely

    Some books are stupid though they dont care how you win. Betgameday would give me huge bonuses, loyalty points, watches and grills in the mail, and then I got hot and completely banned after 5 years, when I had just got a bonus and Christmas gift recently.

    if you don't shop for odds you are extremely unlikely to be able to finish ahead of the game

    many thousands overall or per play?

    if per play you can't be getting top of the market odds too frequently and thus won't be a long term winner so it would be no surprise that you haven't been limited - you are the type of player they want to keep
