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.

#3I 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.Comment -

#4it 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 BasketballComment -

#12Hi 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,
JonComment -

#21Originally posted by lines freakHaving it locked only stops them from stealing more, it doesnt give back what they already stole. U have to win an awfil lot of football games to make up blackjack losses.
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.Comment -

#22I 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!Comment -
