Default Does thegreek take over the limit phone bets?

I see the max bet on NCAA (for the game) is $2200. Do they accept larger amounts over the phone?

You'll most likely have to get the 'ok' from the line manager, but if you can pay it, they'll take it.

Sometimes, but they might move the line on the extra.

They will take six figures from whales. It depends on who you are, the league and if they can get it back in volume.

Sometimes they'll give you whatever you want. Sometimes you'll get a dime or two on a major sport. It all depends on which side Greek likes and what type of player they think you are. Keep in mind that when you call them like this, you're giving them the decision on how how much you will bet, in addition to you paying a -110 vig - first they ask you how much you want, and then decide how much to give you.
