Default Sportsbook questions

I know which sportsbooks are in general the most highly regarded, but it seems in reading general stuff on the internet that there are still problems that arise sometimes ragarding mostly bonus issues and worst case, payouts.

I'm not too big on bonuses anyway, but I'm somewhat new to this. If someone uses Pinnacle or one of the other main players, if they are winning roughtly 60% of their bets betting 4-5K a game, will Pannacle or Bet Jamaica or whoever just lower their limits or what will happen if someone is consistantly beating the book.

It seems these people don't scam, but i can't see them keep paying out tens of thousands if not more a month to people. Maybe, i just need reassurance, but it seems to good to be true.

Why would these books what to bet with the pro's as they would be on the losing end, right?

I know this post may be somewhat all over the place, i just have doubts and questions as the old rule applies, "If something looks to good to be true, it usually is". I know everyone doesn['t beat the book, but alot of these handicappers do.

In reading another thread, some guy got burned for 60K and is ectstatic because he thought it would have been 120K. If that happened to me, I'd still be pissed and would have to look into the possibility of completely eliminating one of those of those little tiny island they call home.

How many stories are out there like that. If you continue beating the book, do they just figure the only way they can win is to just close your accounht and take your money and tell everyone they don't even know who you are.

Like Isaid, just obvious concerns from someone who plans to build up and bet big one day.

Thanks for all responses.

You aren't getting kicked out a book like Pinny no matter what you bet. Pinny uses sharp action to adjust their lines. On 4-5k bets they may limit your action on sports that aren't bet as much such as AFL or Tennis but they won't care about major sports. If you really are that good and hit 60% they will respect your bet and move on your 4k bet while they wouldn't blink on a whale's 50k bet.

yeah, most all of the "A" rated books will take any and all action from you, knowing that in the long run they have the edge...
