Ha-haaaaa, it's Tony-time for you my friend. Just get them in the AM, they will likely guide you to the sportsbook manager. Apparently they think you took some type of shot at them.... past post, multiple accounts or maybe you've just been beating them on a consistent basis. If you deal with Tony, he's a character, in general, fair to deal with... Their book does offer a lot but they do have a keen eye and dislike for cheaters.

Have you made a recent payout request? 3 years ago I logged in and saw a similar notice after requesting a payout. Turns out they had paid out my entire balance (I had a Neteller account at the time) and had then closed my account.

Wait and see. I had a nasty shock once to see my 5-dimes account had a zero balance. One live chat and one email and the balance was restored within 10 minutes. It was as an honest mistake from their end.

C'mon at least come clean with what you've done. Make money, multiple accounts, past post etc. It's not as if this should be a shock to your system. You know if you're doing shady things. I'm tired of reading stories from players who can't at least come 100% clean. These books don't shut you down because you're losing money and playing by the rules. Un uh.

Just curious - why is having multiple accounts cheating? Are you saying it's to circumvent betting limits?

That may be against the rules, but I wouldn't call that cheating. Back in the day when bookmakers were bookmakers there were limits on games, but only on individual bets. If bookies got hit with a limit bet, they'd adjust the line accordingly, and you could bet again at the different odds. They understood that gambling was gambling.

It means placing a bet after a game has started. I have been betting online for 5 years and have NEVER seen a site keep a game on the board more than a couple of minutes after it's started, so I don't really see how anyone could do it regularly even if they wanted to.

Ah ok thanks. Someone told me a story about how he betted when the game was played he betted on the winning team by 11 points in basketball and in the end he lost. I have never seen past post then, I did see games which didn't start and you couldnt bet anymore.

To keep this on topic I have never had a problem with 5dimes with what you have.

1. Big cheat if you are doing it to get extra bonuses.
2. Little cheat if you are circumventing limits.
3. The books want to keep tabs on you so they can stay ahead of the game. No cheat.

The only place i know where you can open multiple accounts is betfair - someone could answer what the benefit of that would be.

OK, I could see that. But I'd lay 8-1 anyone who deposits at sportsbooks primarily for the purpose of getting bonuses is a LOOZAAH. If I were the book I'd cancel the bonus, but no way I'd close their account(s).

Yes,

I had this happen. It was for a line that moved from 6-1 to 60-1, so I bet the max straight up for 500 usd. They suspended me and I contacted them showing a conversation with one of the Live Chat CS which said the line was right and I could bet up to 500. They reinstated me but told me that based on my wager history, I should have known better and called them directly to report a bad line and have ignored what the the CS agent said.

All is good now.

When I opened up a Betfair account they gave me a call. I asked about the additional charges for big players. He said it only really affected automated players and those with multiple accounts.

I asked why would you open multiple accounts - he replied '"exactly". Now maybe that CS rep was talking shit but that was the conversation.

I put a small wager on parlay of International Basketball games the other day. I go to a live score website at gametime and to my surprise one of the games I had was nearing the end of the 1st half. My team was losing and lost the game. I lost the parlay anyway.

If someone would of made a large straight wager on the winning team, they could of said they took a shot at them, but ESPN and Yahoo had the incorrect start time of the game also.
