Recentley I had my wagering suspended at a certain book, when I called them up they told me that they run the same numbers as another book and they saw that I was placing bets on the same game at the same time with them and this book that they copy their numbers from. They told me I can not do that, I asked them if they were financially affiliated with the other book and they said no, they just run the same numbers. I told them If they are not the same book then they have no right to tell me what I can bet with them and the other book or when I can bet with them and the other book. So basically they want me to wait till their line moves and then bet with them. This is garbage if you ask me, unless these two books are the same book operating under different names, a book has no right to tell me I can not bet the same games as another book. I would like to hear what you guys think. I only bet 1 dime a game at each book so it is not like i am putting 10 dimes on each game.

Please list the books so we can steer clear and recommend that everyone else do the same.

If they are not affiliated then how they do know you place the same wagers at the other book? What are the books?

So I call book Z and ask for a 1k wager in Indy -4. They tell me to hold so they can call book K and assure they do not have the same numbers. LMFAO.

I am not listing the book yet, obviously the problem is with the book that is copying numbers form the other book. The book that is getting their numbers copied is one of the major books, and the book that I am having the problem with is an advertiser here.

I am going to call them up and ask them about this again, if they tell me I can't bet the same game then I will cash out, and tell you guys which book it is.

Am I correct to assume that you guys think that it is wrong for a book to do this?

If the books have no ties to one another, then it doesn't make sense. If they are affiliated then it would be somewhat logical as it would appear you could circumvent limits this way.

Well, just when you thought you heard it all. If they really do not have ties this book should be the laughing stick of the industry.

Even if they di have financial ties, it shouldn't matter. Run one book or run two books. Decide what you want to be. IF you have two different names then you are two books and what you do at one should not affect the other.

Yes...but I'd really like to have the name of the book...I don't want my money there. (if it already is and if it's not I want to make sure it never is)

Just share the name...

wow



thought the whole idea of a sportsbook was to take wagers....



Anyway, A book can suspend your wagering or ask you to leave or cut your limits for any reason they want. its in the fine print im sure of their rules that they can suspend your account for any reason Mgmt chooses.



Sounds like they are paying you no problem at least on the settled action you have put in at both shops. What does the other shop have to say? do they have the same customer service EMAIL extension???

IVe actually been worried about this when there is a soft line on a prop at V-wager for example (some middle opportunities, I have posted a couple in the past when I see them) its also at TC bets same lines same software, I will hit both for the MAX and have wondered if I would get the phone call some day saying I cant do that any more. :nono5:


They see something in your betting pattern that makes them nervous to losing money to you.

There is not much you can do other than cash out or follow their requests. If you dont they will ban you and maybe argue not to pay you since you were warned. So Id cash out. you could have a second computer with a different IP address (say a buddy) wager at one place and you the other I suppose to get around this mickey mouse crap.

IMO if they are trying to fool people into thinking they are two different books, then all you are guilty of is believing their lie. Unacceptable on their part unless they have something in their rules which specifically mentions this.

I am not naming the book untill my money is out. I am with u JAY C, even if they are affiliated you have put out two seperate books and you simply can not tell people to not bet at the other book at the same time, and remember the problem is only with one book not two, the other book I have no problems with and they have no problems with me betting same bets, they probably don't even know about it cause they don't run other books numbers.

If one company advertises and takes action under 2 names, THEY SHOULD HONOR ALL YOUR ACTION! No way unless advertised the same shop should anything be different. Advertisers here or not, you need to post these shops names here now. I know there are many shops that have a few storefront names to cover their arses! Its very possible with all these shops today! Obviously this big book and the one that advertises here are one the same. Otherwise HOW WOULD THEY GET YOUR OTHER ACTION???

How in the world would the little book know what you're betting at the big shop? That's scary.

If they are not affiliated as they claim, then let me beging my laughing now!

They like to have the "right number." They obviously move on air and not action. They are more concerned that they took a bet before the move then happy they got action.

I can't wait to hear the name of this dump.

its obvious they are related. otherwise theyd have no clue what you were betting at another book to which they had no affiliation to.

C'mon. You know the books are affiliated. Financially they may have different owners. But they share the same wagering department. CLearly the line manager only wants a certain amount of action. He doesnt want someone with multiple accounts coming in for the max bet multiple times. Most books that share the same wagering department would respond the same way, if they felt you were circumventing their limits.

My adivce to you is is to either call in your wagers, or stop trying to bet the max. Otherwise they'll simply tell you to close one of your accounts.
