Hi guys I usualy bet ay my local book (TAB) but because baseball season has started and I live in Australia, most of the games start well before the TAB opens, so I have decided to get you're opinions on which online sports books are best for a dime better, I am interested in ones that don't limit you so hard after you win a few times.

I am fully aware of the A rated books advertised on this site, but after you win a few times will they cut you're limits down?

I keep hearing conflicting stories

Cheers

[pimike]

youwager.com has nevers has cut my limits. 10 cent lines

[Dank_Fire]

Pinnacle
The Greek

[durito]

Matchbook
Pinnacle

[pokerplayer22]

pinnacle...good choice

betjamaica...good choice

Definately stay away from Sportbet. If you win a few wagers, then they close your acct and pocket your money. They are theives

[Syrax]

thanks for the replies guys, going to try all the above for a bit, see how it goes

[John Dough]

Matchbook, it's an exchange, they can't limit you.

[Peep]

Really, if you are worried about limits from the get go, you are better off starting at Matchbook, who will never limit you.

See to me an "A" rated sports book shouldn't cut limits at all. Screw you 5dimes. Matchbook and Pinnacle are far Superior

[thespeculator]

i am gonna give matchbook a try, i trust you guys more than i trust any websites ratings , including sbr

[WileOut]

matchbook BY FAR is the best thing going on for Americans. As an Australian you have a few more options but not really if looking to bet American sports. Pinnacle would be another.

Greek I have heard conflicting stories about whether they limit or not. At matchbook though you will get the best price, tens of thousands on every game and half, and no limits....EVER.

[SPECULATOR 13]

Since you are outside the states you can try Betfair,there not bad.
However they will put you through the ringer before allowing you to place a bet by demanding all kind of outrageously intrusive documentations.
all that because Great Britain right now as become a cartoonish and pathetic police state.

[TeamPlayer]

Bookmaker is fair meaning they won't steal your money nor tell you to get lost because you had success.

But I asked their CS and told me that they don't cut limits even after I'll win huge amount.

Well, then they're not exactly being truthful with you Karla. Either that or the CS is misinformed or their policy has changed.

I can only relay my personal experience of course, but they made no qualms about the fact that I was not welcome, first instituting a delay then just outright banning me shortly thereafter.

Mind you, I was absolutely killing them, like nothing I've ever done before or since. Nuking them really.....

stumpage ,can you give a ball park figure how much you won , just to give an idea to the rest of us, because i love 5dimes, was it over 15000 over 50000 or somewhere in between , or was it more than 50k

[Stumpage]

Time has diluted my memory of the statistics speculator, but I am almost positive that it was in the $30,000 range or very close to it. I imagine that the problem was that it occurred fairly rapidly (for me, anyway) in between the SuperBowl and the Academy Awards of all things, so maybe a few weeks. Now 30K might not be a lot to many folks around here, but it was massive for me and also apparently for 5Dimes as well.

I do however recall precisely how I was given notice.....I made a withdrawal of $2,500 via Neteller, and when I looked into my Neteller account later in the day I saw that the $2500 was there all right, along with the entire remaining balance of my 5Dimes account.

I was locked out of my 5Dimes account entirely, but was able to confirm through CS that they had given me the boot and paid out in full. So there was no phonecall or email or anything; it was simply adios and here's your money. Sucked, but what can you do? Was a business decision and they paid me promptly, so I was happy with that.

Sure, the best information will come from someone who experienced it. Good thing I haven't experienced that yet.. or maybe i am closed to. lol

Betjamaica is a good book (fast payouts, good baseball lines, user-friendly interface) but they limit you after 3-4 months. If you spread your action in multiple books, it's not a big problem of course.

Matchbook is definetely great!

Limit = Liquitdy

Thegreek & 5dimes have also high limits, they won't limit you easily. Not limited by these books yet, only limited by Betjam.

Even if they limit me someday, it won't be a problem as long as I have Matchbook

[Cyril]

You can bet at 5dimes up to 5000$ max on football, basketball, hockey or baseball. But wager should not exceed 500$ each. So you can place 500$ x10 times on the same selections, or on whatever you want to. Just got this information from 5dimes.

[PAPSMEAR]

In Australia IASbet are good for racing and sport and don't cut your bet limits and pay day following a request (although I see a couple of posters have raised some issue about accounts being closed and money confiscated for "shared environment" use in recent times re bonus offers/free bets)

so does that include parlays and teasers, you could bet 500 ten times on a three parlay or 4 team teaser???

Try and place $500 twice at the same line and tell me what happens.

Karla, thats absolutely not true.

My limits have already been cut by 50% and I'm probably up $5,000 at most since opening my 5 Dimes account.

They have also threatened the next incident will see my limits cut by 80% which I promptly told them to please go ahead and close my account if they decide to cut my limits any further.

Tony at 5 Dimes is known for aggressively cutting player limits.

Extremely rude customer service as well but their variety of bet options is better than any site I've come across.

too bad if that is the case bro.. well, as i have previously mentioned, i asked their cs and have not experience it myself.. and i belive that books cut limits of players who are winning/wagering huge amount of money, since it will not be for recreational purposes.. stuff like that.

I guess you have some experience with them. Why don't you tell us ???

[Zelda]

5D is prolly the most overrated book out there..they cut limits fast, they also delay fast, and if they don´t like you at all they don´t hold back showing you the door. Fine for small bettors or squares, but you are wasting your time if you are a bit sharper.

Hey Syrax,

Outside of Aussie books all you need is Pinnacle and Matchbook. Take a look at Sportingbet Australia - yes they are the Aussie book most likely to limit but they also often have the best MLB favorite odds ANYWHERE.

TAB = safest betting agency in the world but also the worst odds!

[vanman]

Betfair or Pinnacle if you`re not in the US
