    Does 5Dimes tell you when they cut your limits?

    Does 5Dimes management inform you when they cut your limits for reduced juice? Or do you just suddenly have lower limits?

    you find out only when you can't place the stake you want!

    in my experience very few books have the courtesy to let you know in advance

    either way, it's nothing to be mad about, it should mean that you absolutely raped them

    yes. i received such notice only once recently from skybet... that they reviewed my betting patterns and excluded me from "free bet promotion".

    funny i only placed 2 bets in 6-month timeframe before this and was not aware of any free bet promotion. the bets i placed were however identical (DC and +1), so this might have caused it. no grief over it anyway.

    the good news you would be well ahead and not in debt, that is something to be very happy about , if you need action in the millions go to the forex markets or futures, i would go with futures ,don't trust a lot of those forex brokers. They are alot like bookies, always changing the price against you.

    My first limit cut involved my I-AA CFB limits being cut from $200 to $100. Tough to rape a book on $200 bets. I didn't get notification, I called to ask about it and got cursed at by Tony. Also, when my regular limits were cut I hadn't really won a lot, I was just shopping carefully and noticed various mispriced conversions. Doesn't matter how much you win in a lot of cases but when a book sees you're good at picking off mispricing that's a sign to cut your limits.

    Wheres all those complainers when u need them. The ones that say how fast they limit u and talk trash about a good book. I'm not sure man as i haven't run into anything like this with them.

    No, there will be absolutely no advance warning. In fact, the same applies if they give you the ol' heave ho permanently.....

    LOL at you guys worrying about limits being cut. There's two people in this thread that might actually have to worry, other than that don't worry about it.

    it's now how much you win (many of us have been limited whilst in loss at a book) but how you bet which gets their attention.

    I can't remember any off shore books giving advance notice when they cut limits or otherwise restrict, but some British bookies will send you an email.

    I don't think you're very familiar with 5Dimes. It's very easy to get limits cut there.

    Sportsbook.com sends you an email now any time they cut your limits for any sport/bet type.

    Yeah, my limits were cut at 5Dimes. They never told me anything. I just can't bet "to win" 500 on any reduced juice markets anymore. At first I was confused whether they had changed their limits for certain markets (for example, MMA) but now I've figured out I've been cut.

    The people who are saying you don't have to win much are right. It's the type of bets you make. I know I didn't win much at all.
