Sportsbook only lets you bet a line one time?

TomGshotput · May 3, 2017

If I were to bet the Rockets for tonight's game right now at +5.5 (even for just $2), any further attempt to bet the Rockets again would be rejected. I could bet them first half or money line or even the Spurs -5.5, but I could not bet the side on the Rockets again.

It seems very tacky. Anyone know of this ever happening before?

Only ever seen this when trying to circumvent limits. Never like you described.

I finally had to leave Sportsbook because they throttled my limits so badly. ...But I never had that occur.

This. Only time I've ever run into it.

had a "to win $5" max on bovada. no way around it except to leave that book. They at least had the courtesy to email me their reasoning (which was, of course, ridiculous)...
