Default How do sharps win money online?

I hear nothing but stories about sharps being limited, shown the door, bonus confiscated, 60 sec delays, how do sharps take advantage of books when so many show them the door instantly, hell BetO has been showing sharps the door before they even earn their signup bonus

I've never had this problem except Bookmaker seems to be fukin with me a lil lately for some unknown reason they take an hour to put up halftime lines, they wont give me the in progress lines anymore, idk what the fuk is going on Im not even sure Im up there but perhaps my play there has been "sharper" than it has at other sites that have never pulled this stuff, seems strange since I hear Bookmaker accepts all this pro action that they would be the one site Im having trouble with when I rarely ever bet more than 200 on a game and their limits are supposed to be sky high

I understand how they win money the question (if you took the time to read it would be nice) was how do they continue to win money at books that clearly seem intent to ban/limit all advantage players?

B, if they're scared of your action the online biz is toast.

That's the problem for the books. They can't limit pros without the danger of upsetting, or turning away their big losers. They're already costing themselves money by screwing with your halftimes.(no offense)

i'm a bit curious as to this also and asked a similar question in a thread of mine a while back (about bet365).

if i consistently win and bet as a sharp would bet for a long period of time, would a top book like pinny, or bookmaker limit me/close my account down?

They still put up the halftimes but it takes like 3-4 mins after halftime for them to come up when it used to be instant, ever since I turned off my casino on Bookmaker I guess I've been labeled an advantage player, I win some lose some and tend to break even at the end of the year so Im not like some idiot just tossing 200 on Clips +5 at Boston and just throwing my cash away but Im not breaking the bank by any standard either I just do this for fun, but I hate online casinos (every acct I have first thing I do is disable the online casino) and Bookmaker has one of the scamiest online casinos on the internet, fukin virtually impossible to ever win at that thing, so I guess by not being a complete idiot that just puts his balance on their 1 out of 5 hands wins blackjack games Im being shunned by Bookmaker

You could just not play at the casino if you think disabling them is the problem?

No offense Bettil, but that does not sound like you've been profiled at bookmaker.

It sounds like their typical piss poor software and incompetence. They have thousands of sharp players, they can't possibly micro manage each account as to when half time lines show up.

The first step when the profile you is they take away your bet points. Do you still have betpoints?


As to the question. There are hundreds and hundreds of books out there. For some people though all that's left that will take their action is Pinnacle and Matchbook (Betfair and other euro exchanges/asian books too if you have access). If you are good enough that's all you need. I'm certainly not, thus I play at shitbook.org etc. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass to get paid, but it sure as shit beats working in a ****ing office all day.

Good point durito, I still have betpoints and redeposit bonuses so I guess your right they havent profiled me but I sure as fuk miss having halftimes come up fast and the in progress quarters and shit, sometimes u just want a quick hit quarter bet rather than wait for a whole game or half but anyway idk what the prob is but apparently its a software issue, most of it started though when I asked them to reopen my casino (b/c they were offering a 100 casino bucks as a redeposit bonus) and I quickly lost the bonus in their impossible casino and asked them to reclose it and they got pissed about that and sent me an email sayin they will not reopen and reclose a casino in the future just so I can take advantage of a bonus so maybe I pissed them off idk
