    Betislands limits bets after very small run
    I went on very small run yesterday, right at four figures and BI lowered my limits to $50 on Olympic Basketball and $100 on NFL preseason. All 3 plays hit that I pick for Olympic basketball of course. I called to ask for an explanation, not a free play not anything else, but just to know why I was limited. I was told that it seemed like an error in the system. I understand limiting a player but after a small run and then to $50? Thats just crap, then when I ask for an explanation all I'm told is there was an error. I'm sure most of you will say this was somehow my fault or how dare I post anything like that here, but just thought I'd share it with you.

      I tend to believe it was an error, mostly because I doubt they'd limit someone for getting right at 4 figures as you mentioned. If you asked and they switched it then at least they addressed it and solved the problem for you. At least you can start betting your normal units now.. Too bad you didn't ask before you placed the wagers, they would of probably fixed it right away for you.

        it was before the Argentina game this morning, CS and wagering were closed. Not a big deal, just thought it was ridiculous the most I could wager was 100 on NFL and 50 on Olympic Basketball

                      from mid to around 9 am all limits are 50 dollars.
                      it goes up after cs opens.
                      Been that way for me for a while.. cost me a fortune the other day not getting to bet more the 50 on over in brazil mexico over

                        Hi Big,

                        Can you please PM me your account number?

                        We do not limit people here for small runs players have won 20k + without getting limited in any way.

                        We are not a book that wants to to take $500 bets on Olympic events that is the truth , those markets are rather volatile so we limit our exposure.

                        Our limits for football will be up to 10k a side if someone wanted that much on a game and lines will be offered overnight.

                        Baseball overnights is a no go for us , we hang our lines at around 9 am est time and on Mondays we tend to hang them a bit later since we are closing our week out.

                        Cheers,

                        Jon

                              Seems like you have an ax to grind with BI over their online casino. Maybe you need to speak to Jon.

                                  Just getting some entertainment from your posts about online casinos. Like Robmpink asked- are not they all much the same?

                                    Lines, fella, I really do feel your pain as I have had my asshole been turned inside and out there in the casino. I did hit a royal flush though on their let it ride game months ago. Some one has to win. I have it locked as it is easier.

                                          And why cant I get a fair game if I want it?


                                          Lines, it is hard to get a fair game with DGS software. I only can speak for let it ride. The true pay outs for a royal are 1000-1. Every book using this software, with the exception of 5 dimes, pay out 200-1 for a royal. Now if hundreds of books using dgs do this, I can't be pissed with BI. I don't know about black jack or the other games.

                                            I have played that software at many places, It's pretty much the same everywhere i image(talking that specific software) I have had ridiculous winning and losing streaks. Sounds like lines freak is just a typical disgruntled loser of online casino's.

                                            The key with all online casino games is hit and run.(i've rarely followed my own advice) but have learned to just suck it up and move on!

                                              So evidently there are tweaks one can make to tilt the odds

                                                I've had a lot of luck in the past 5 years. I don't really play anymore because of the reduction of odds, but I've hit for 18k, 15k, 15k, 15k and probably 7 other times between 4k and 10k, on single hands. I'm sure I'm down all my life gambling, but these certainly got me some $$$$.

                                                    I just went on a run for 6k a few weeks ago. No limits. Olympic limits were somewhat low, but that was just the norm.

                                                      Because the odds of let it ride have been reduced at 99.99% casinos that use DGS software. 1000-1 for a royal, 200-1 for a straight flush are the true odds that land based casinos pay, at least most. These books pay 200-1 and 150-1 for the past 3 years. I had my glory days at wager web.

                                                        Guy has no money and now is trying to recoup the freeplay he was offered, but declined, like a big man. You are really too dumb to understand what I said about the casino.

                                                            Nobody here is that big of a moron to believe these guys who WIN everything.

                                                            Guy, gather up 3 cats from under the board walk on Kentucky Ave and they will have a higher IQ. I chirp about winning all the time? Turn your frown upside down, child.
