Not chasing steam, beating openers, betting halftimes. Just flat out felt like you were betting sharp lines and got hot and were booted for "winning too much". Be objective and look at this thru the books point of view and you could still see no reason for being booted?

Ice, if a book boots someone only for winning it is just short sighted on their part. Unless a guy is consistently beating the number, they should book them. Seen so many players get hot and win big, only to give it back, plus in the lond term. Patience is a virtue.

What do you mean "unfairly"? Much as we don't like it, the books are allowed to determine who they want and don't want as customers, so long as they treat us fairly while we are active there (abide by their rules, prompt payouts, etc).

SIA blatantly tells people that they're no longer wanted because they've won too much. Amount used to be 10-15K, maybe it's higher now. But I believe they still do it.

Unfairly? Well every book has the right of refusal. Have I been told you win too much, the traders no longer desire your action, we can't beat you long term, yes. What are you going to do? Parade around the forums like a village idiot complaining a book screwed you or move on?

Yes i was booted from VIP i believe in '99 or 2000 when Big Mike told me that he didnt like me calling in bets like 2 minutes before the games would start. He also got mad because i had a college foots moneyline fav at like -145 and i bought back about half my bet when it went to +165. Back than i realize numbers moved around more and today it's just clone lines everywhere but still how could this schmoe differentiate me between a compulsive gambler and a sharp. I mean i really am a little of both.

I think most people who post here wish they could have that problem.

Only been chased from a few locals in my lifetime. And then it was becuase i was beating them to the Number.
Like Socko told me one time long ago. "I dot give a shit if you win EVERY week as long as you are laying 11-10" and he meant every word.
Bookmakers have seen HOT and COLD streaks ALL their life and thats the way it shall remain. The makers that boot folks nowdays, are the ones that are beating them to the number quite often and they spot it.
