Oh boy, this thread should light up the forum!

I'm going to beat everyone to it and call them Bet 3.65 (Bet 3,65 for the unfortunates in the country of Europe) before anyone else does.

No, they don't limit you just for winning. They also limit you for losing or breaking even too. Put in 3-5 bets of $1K or more on ANYTHING and regardless of outcome you'll be limited to a couple of bucks. The question is if there's anyone they don't limit. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a business practice quite like theirs.

No and no Chano. Bet365 usually has some of the highest spreads around, and it's rare in a lot of sports to find EITHER side with even a comparable line to the other major books. In tennis, for example, they might have -2000/+1000 when even the worst of the top flight books might have -1600/+1200.

They pay and pay quick so you certainly have nothing to lose by trying them out in the interim chano. Let us know how many bets you get in before you're limited....

God no. For NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Pinnacle almost always has better odds than Bet365. Their odds are horrible.

They are one of safest books out there for small non usa players with lots of things to bet on. If your a small bettor it is a great place to play.

with my new account, I don´t play arbs and place only bets of maximum 200 euro (average 100 Euro)... 4-5 per day and only in livebetting.

my account was limited down to a few cent in 10 weeks...

if you play arbs, they limited you in 10 days

No. They are not safe.

They void more bets then any other european book.

Had an account with Bowmans for 9 years with zero problems, Bet 365 buys them, it takes 3 weeks and i can't bet more than $30 on a basketball game.
