    Default best high limit book besides pinnacle

    Ok. This may have been covered numerous times before. What are the best books for winning players that bet high limits and don't want to be worried about having limits cut or being booted? I know pinnacle will be in this discussion alot, but would like to hear of others. Also, why is it that those books are able to do this and others aren't? Thanks for any feedback guys. Good luck to all.

    If you go to the SBR Recommended List you will notice a column with either a P or a R. Those books with a "P" are recommended for high limit and professional players. The top couple are :
    Pinnacle
    CRIS
    Olympic
    Hollywood
    1250pts

    Slash has it right, Mansion is the place for BIG, good for small players too. Not good if you want props,parlays, halves, etc, but great if just want to make any size ( almost) straight bet on something at great odds. Use exchange, not book.

    Cascade
    Grande

    By game time Mansion exchange has decent limits for most sports.

    Everyone else answered your first question but concerning your last:

    These books with high limits are well established and well funded. Plain and simple. They want big action because they love volume, they trust their lines, and they can absorb the hits.

    Here is the thing I don't undersatnd about the mansion exchange. And maybe its true for all exchanges. WHo are the guys who are posting these great lines. Are they just people that don't have many other accounts, so don't realize that if they just looked hard enough they could find the number they want without having to post lines on an exchange waitring for someone to take thier offer.

    Hi,

    I would add as high limit book:
    - Pointbet
    Interesting may also be:
    - Unibet
    - Expekt
    - Centrebet
    (But they don't have as high limits as Poinbet)
    A good exchange is of course
    - Betfair

    I know here write mostly americans but most books I mentioned are better for european bettors...
    At least Pointbet should be interesting for everybody though.

    Greetings

    Worth a try (also for US-sports) could be 10bet.

    Totally agree. The amount of times I see folk looking for a match when they can get a better price at loads of bookies that minutes ... and dont have to pay commission either.

    It just seems whacko ... betfair can be good for dogs but to religiously just them that is plain bad money management.

    Try at least having a look at Mansion exchange before posting about it. This book has $100k NFL spread limits all week at -105. And circled games do not exist at Mansion.

    The ones posting 99% of the lines at Mansion and Matchbook are Mansion and Matchbook themselves.

    You are aware that there are other sports? Cascade takes more ONLINE in college hoops than Mansion. They take more on hockey too. They also take 10k on college football (less than Mansion).

    Mansion is not certainly not, "the only place to go".

    You might bet with them more than me, but I put through millions in bets with them last year and am familiar with them.

    Nice options for euro bettors, but I have to take away Expekt, since they will cut limits dramaticly.

    Mansion is definitely the best, and if you are looking for another high limit book for 1st/2nd half bets WSEX is pretty good

    I have never played Cascade, not sure about them but it is also important to note than pinnacle, Mansion, and WSEX have no limits just max bets so they can move the line. Even if you take all the money on the exchange at Mansion they may just refill it at the same number, and if they do move it a half point it is fairly likely that it will get bet back to the same number

    I don't think anyone has ever been booted from pinnacle, you may get your limits cut if you are doing well in low volume more obscure stuff, but I don't know if anyone has ever had limits slashed in mainstream stuff

    LOL! Yeah, Cascade has 5k college hoops limits if the game isn't circled while mansion has 3.5k, but at Mansion you can rebet an unlimited number of times..

    Has anyone else had their limits cut by Expekt? What were your betting patterns, and what were the new limits?

    Slash is right that Mansion seeds the exchange. They are putting up their own money.
