Will Mybookie kick me out if I sign up and bet their current numbers?

They have some good offers on the Nfl right now and I may send them cash. I have a feeling that if I bet they are going to boot me because some of these numbers are ridiculous. Sea+7.5-103 Nyg +11 Dall +14 Granted they are not THAT far off and these games COULD close at those numbers but you never know.

Has anyone had a bad experience with them per this topic?

I don't think it's a loss leader they're hanging in front of you to get you to sign up-- they really, really want you to take those sides-- their biggest challenge this time of year'd be to balance & receive action the other way(heavy underdog): esp with the way the public's been riding faves as of late... & this situation likely won't get better for them, what with the crucial end of season & playoff games coming up.

I think their ideal bettor would be a fave bettor who posts up beginning of season, and after taking the worst of it for the better part of it, swings the other way late.

Welcome to the forum, btw-- Bienvenido!

I got profiled as a dog player after about a week and they limited me to phone bets only.

Then when i would phone in a bet, they would deal me a differenet line from what was on the web site.

They even admitted it to me when I asked if they were doing it. They said we know your'e a dog bettor and we're gonna deal you the sharp line.:WTF:

Now the thing is I had success playing the dog lines, so I could have been flagged for winning.

What I'm saying is if you play the dog lines and lose, they might not limit you until you actually start winng.:smoker2:

Well aint that some ****.

If you win your the scum of the earth it seems and will make it harder for you to win.

If you loose do they make it easier to win?

What a bunch of crap, not only are the odds against you but they make it even harder!

Most shops modeled like MyBookie (BoDog and SIA come to mind) seem to have that policy. They are looking for people that don't line shop and that play favorites.

MyBookie makes no bones about it. They are a square shop with low limits and will tell you that when you deposit. Anymore books are like restaurants, you have fast food joints and places like the Four Seasons (for example) very different business models but they have one thing in common: they all serve food.

Pancho is on the money.

Mybookie did something like that to me.

It may be accepted all over but being new I was a little pissed

I wanted to make a bet over the $2,000 the allow you to do online. So I called in and wanted to place a HIGH wager. They took the 105 to place a bet and made it 120 because I was betting more money. After speaking to whoever about it we agreed on 113.

Well, the answer to my own question is yes, they will boot ya. And they will also steal your money too. I signed up there because I saw them advertised on this site. I am a wise guy. I saw their rules about bonuses and wiseguys. No problem. So I made my deposit and started to bet them the board. I was going to bet every game the other side of the "move", you would figure they would want my business. I have no other idea of why they would have those lines up on their board. After 3 bets I saw that I was put on their "regular" feed, no more juicy numbers. Then after 5 more minutes I could not log in. I called and was given the boot bc they don't want my business. Then why the **** advertise HERE and use those numbers???

And when they sent my funds back to me they charged me the 90 dollar Neteller fee to have it done. So I send them money, I bet, they take the bets, then cancel them and make ME pay for THEM not wanting my business. Everyone here should just send them a check for whatever their NT fees WOULD have been if they WOULD have signed up with these guys. I can't see the difference between this and stealing.

Is there any way that a moderator or someone here can help me get my 90 dollars back?

Can someone please explain in some detail what a Wiseguy is.

Another note,

One thing I do not get is why a sportsbook would offer a spread but when you take it they boot you.

They recognized my name from betting with their other books in the past. I bet games that move sometimes right before a move and sometimes I follow steam.

Also, I bet 4 games for 2000 each. The numbers were CRAZY. Sea +7.5-103 Det +3.5-103 Dall +14 was the next bet but I got shut down. Doesnt take a wiseguy to bet those numbers. My idea was to only bet the other side of games that they had moved a ton like these, hoping they would need my bet. I would not have given them any steam after finding out who they were for that would have ended all the fun.

If you are a small bettor and want good numbers I would say forget Sia and Mansion, go to Mybookie and have fun, they are solid and will pay just don't bet too much on all those good numbers, try to disguise it.

I consister that a complete joke. if a book is putting a line out there what are they scared of. now in your case you were betting the dogs which the public doesn't do...especially the cowboys, you could be helping the book out.

anyway I think that mybookie isn't good as I read on a sportsbook review that they have a D+ rating. I would say the best are olympic, wwts, pinnacle, and 5dimes. have NEVER had a problem betting there or getting money from anyone of them. nice job on your 3 bets today ram!!
