bet365.com
hey guys a little help here.. i have had a great run and have made somewhere around 250k at bet365.com in the last few weeks. my balance is well over 100k still. i love bet 365 but this is alot of money. do i have any reason to be worried?they have not done one thing to make me bwelieve i do ...but im still paranoid.. any thoughts?
first off, welcome to the sbrforum
do you win it betting on sports, or were you playing at the poker tables ?

mostly at the sports... but a little poker as well
i don't feel you will have a problem at all. unless of course they find you were doing something like chip dumping or something like that.

chip dumping.. what is that?
heres a good thread on that subject bud.

Bet365 let you win a quarter million? You're either the luckiest square that ever lived, or lying.
I doubt you could find a poster on this site who's won more than a few $K and didn't have his limits cut to pocket change.
That's a hell of a lot of money to make from a book with a reputation for cutting limits. How did you manage that, they aren't known for ultra-high limits ?
They have a feature that shows the max bet they will take, often around $1,000.
I'd like to see how you could have won that much there. It would be easier to believe if you were saying Pinnacle or Mansion or CRIS, but Bet365 ?

why would i lie? i have lost plenty to them in the past... listen ... just trying to check out the credibility of the site.. i see the A rating and thats good... just paranoid..
What limits did you get ? Do you bet soccer ?
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
yes mostly soccer and stuff like that.. i just checked my limit for the arsenal game on saturday.. i can bet 225,000 to win 150,000
on the hockey game on friday night between sj/ nashville 30k limit.. ive got accouts at cris and pinnacle.. cant bet near thi much
They are known to take soccer bets, but small limits on US stuff. I'd think you are safe, but why even ask until there is a problem ?

You can keep betting at Pinny, bet limit,wait 1 minute, re-bet all you want.Originally Posted by rangers1

my bad guys.... thought thats the kind of stuff that was discussed here
is that 250 U.S. Dollars or Vietnamese Dongs?

Well I have to assume you're telling the truth, because to craft this sort of lie would be tragically pathetic.
You don't need to worry about getting paid by Bet365. They're probably the most financially secure sportsbook in the world.
You do need to worry about living in a cardboard box if you continue betting at those stakes. If Bet365 is accepting this action, you can be assured that you are taking seriously the worst of it. You may in fact be the first documented case of someone having their limits increased by Bet365. That is a bad fuucking sign. They are some of the shrewdest and smartest bookies around. You may be on a rush now, but eventually they will be holding all the money.
thank you.. thats what i was looking for .. and yes my limits have gone up... and i may not be up on them even after this rush.. ive made so many 2500 deposits there with neteller over the past 2 years i cant count(dont want to)
I would think a large soccer bettor would play at Mansion and Pinny over B365, certainly not at CRIS ( no Asian handicap, and high juice). Betfair also if available to the punter.
Straight hockey lines are unlikely to be best at B365, that's far more likely to be priced better elsewhere.
New posters claiming huge wins at places like B365 are justly met with some skepticism, it isn't common.
Usually people show up with problems getting paid, or agendas.

You should know where you stand. Are you a multi-millionaire ? American ?
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
no they are not the best lines... that would be pinnacle...but i got on a roll there.. i still dont understand why it would benefit me to show up and lie.. im not trying to get a date.. and i am an american... but i love soccera and all sports
I didn't say you were a liar, just an odd first few posts. Try Mansion, they have great odds on soccer, pay 50k NT's daily, just like Pinny.

Plenty of Bullshitters on the net, they don't gain anything financially, don't know the motivation, just that they exist.
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
Again, not doubting you but .... you play online poker (as well as sports), have large wins and have never heard of chipdumping???
Hmm .... we had a similar post recently on this. Dont know if it was bet365 though.

my limit at Bet365 is $20 , but I can place $500,000 bets at William Hill .

I'd be leary of bet365...especially if you have that much cash with them...
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/18/2005
Is it wise to have a quarter million dollars in any uninsured account? Probably not.
That said, if you're going to put that kind of faith in any sportsbook, Bet365 would be at the top of the list.
From a financial standpoint, this is an absurd warning. Bet365 could pay off Africa's debt and they're perfectly happy to pay anyone that has somehow managed to legitimately win on their lines and with their limit policy.
I'd be leary of Bet365...if you're a cheater and you have that much cash with them.

Just noticed that ... very funny.
SBR Founder Join Date: 9/14/2005
Here is what you need to consider
1) How much money do you really bet in a day. Are you actually going to be 6 figures. If not, cashout most of your funds. The withdrawals are free, andyou can always reup for free
2) If you withdraw, will they cut your limits
3) Under no circumstance should you play poker when you have 250k in your account. Remember, all they have to do is simply ACCUse you of colluding with anohter player, and they can take ALL of your money away. In theory they could accuse you of having a friend dump a mere $5 to you in the poker room and use that as a pretense to confiscate your 250k.
If it was me i'd start cashing out 20k every few days. And stop playing in the poker room at once.

agree, don't play poker ! I would take everything out, and only bet there when they have the best line, which I think would be rare enough. How often does B365 beat both Pinny and Mansion, anyways ?
SBR Founder Join Date: 8/10/2005
Very often.
Rickysteve and Doug,
Only way this guy has the limits he does is that he clearly isn't shopping for the best line.
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/15/2005
Yeah those limits don't bear any resemblance to the Bet365 I know.
SBR Founder Join Date: 7/21/2005
Maybe I am to suspicious - sorry - but I do not believe in increasing B365 limits. My friend was just registered there, after 3W-11L he got their 5% limit. I think they limit gamblers like smarter punters. I think if someone "is depositing 2.5K after 2.5K" he will get the limit immediatelly. That is their policy. The only fact I do not understand is why they allow 3figure sums, they should allow maxbet 36.5 from begining
