Anyone know the amount of money a book will let you win before they kick you out?

head_strong · 08-17-09 01:17 AM

lol, no clue.....

rm18 · 08-17-09 01:20 AM

depends on what book and also they way you go about winning

LordVodka · 08-17-09 01:26 AM

rm18, can you elaborate on what you mean, "the way you go about winning?"

The lower rated the book, the lower the threashold..... I think I won 7 or 8K from SIA when they lowered me to the point I coudln't bet.... Bowmans was 5K over a 2 week period.....10K total when they lowered me to 20 a bet. They accused me of being a bonus abuser, which is funny because the only bonus's I ever got was bonus's they offered me..... I accept their offered bonus and apparently abused it.

Go figure. Mind you once bowmans was bought out by bet 3.65 they had some bad lines which I took advantage of.... especially euro hockey, tour de france.

Sportsbook.com

I don't care if they close my account as long as they pay me.

LordVodka · 08-17-09 03:11 AM

But is it possible to make $100k from an online book and actually get paid from them?

if you hit a 50k parlay won't get the boot

if you win 50k on common things like NFL may or may not get kicked

if you win 50k betting props and obscure stuff you will get kicked

but some books are easier and quicker to get kicked from.

Though usually you are not really kicked just have bet limits cut or forced to call in wagers. I had limits cut before but only one book ever kicked me out of the sportsbook

from some books and not others, matchbook though is an exchange you could make millions if you win your bets.

Sportsbook.com has deep pockets i think. They are lowly rated so may be a little bit of a hassle but you should be able to get paid everything. But for the future try to run your balance up at C rated books and higher at least.

LordVodka · 08-17-09 03:22 AM

Really? I had never heard of matchbook. I'm pretty new to gambling. I've been betting regularly since June. I lost $600 before finally starting to get the hang of it.

Can you explain to me what you mean by matchbook is an exchange? Thanks in advance.

rm18 · 08-17-09 03:27 AM

at matchbook you bet against other people rather than the house, so the house wins small commission on every bet.

The drawback on matchbook you will not always find someone to match your bet at the odds you want and they do not have as big a variety of wagers.

But for betting mainstream things you should be able to bet large amounts and get good prices and never be kicked for winning

LordVodka · 08-17-09 03:29 AM

Oh I see. So in a way you can make money but it's a slower process. Can you do parlay betting?

Just another question. Are there times when you make a bet and no one will match it?

rm18 · 08-17-09 03:32 AM

no parlays, often there are offers up and you can just select them and the bet is in, but if you have to put up the bet then you have to wait for someone else.

LordVodka · 08-17-09 03:34 AM

Ok. I'll give them a try as soon as I'm done with sportsbook.com

LordVodka · 08-17-09 03:39 AM

One last question:

Do people have good experiences in winning large sums of money from sportsbook.com?

08-17-09 04:10 AM

I'm glad I'm not the only person who talks to myself, but okay dude I'll look into Matchbook. It would be nice to be able to take as much money from you guys as I can.

Sportsbook.com shuts you down as soon as your up $100.

So what's the catch with Matchbook? Ireland citizens only? 3 month delay in payouts. Only take wired traveler check deposits from certain Northgate grocery stores?

LordVodka · 08-17-09 04:21 AM

I'm worried I've made 10k at sportsbook and now when asking for a payout they've thrown road blocks at me. Today I was on the phone with them and they told me to call back tomorrow because they were having problems.

Do you enjoy nosebleeds? How about ice-picks underneath your toenails?

Why do people do this to themselves? (although to be fair, it's been awhile since Sportsbook.com has committed outright theft - the correlated parlay heist was what, a year ago?)

durito · 08-17-09 10:50 AM

2 Years now Justin.

The answer to whether sportsbook.com will pay you is: probably and eventually.

cinpls081 · 08-17-09 10:58 AM

why are you guys putting the fear of god in this guy

10K is nothing and you will be paid I'll bet on it...

08-17-09 11:49 AM

the only advice i can give , listen to justin and durito, in my one year at sbr it's one thing you can call a lock

andrea · 08-17-09 01:56 PM

Justin is excellent..

Make us laugh dude. First of all, you're in a miserable country and we kicked your ass in 1776. Secondly, you're not going to come after some poster with an ice pick or punch someone. You're not even on his side of the planet. I saw one guy at the book who knew me from the internet. Cuz he was talking about going online. Then he tried to make some crude threat about the wheels falling off of my Honda Civic. He took off running when I stood up, but the guy was like 5'6", he had clown hair, like bald on the top and all wiring out on the sides, and he was old and pudgy and crazy looking. If he had an ice pick, I still would've

laughed my ass off.

Then you have the Sportsbook.com bitch with her ****ed up english going oh your so great for trying to intimidate these regular people who want to gamble online.

andreaJustin is excellent..

Real professional operations, Pinnicle.com and Sportsbook.com

I wonder how they got A+ rating?

Maybe this website is sponsored by Pinnicle.com??

Just make sure you online gangsters stay behind your computers!

Wow real professional forum guys. Some gambler asks a question about Sportsbook.com

Oh, no I thought they were based in the U.K. I guess they're all in Costa Rica.
