so i had a wager in with sportsbook.com for under 8.5 -115, for 1500...they cap the total bet at 1500 for some reason. after thinking about it, i liked it more, around 205, and wanted to a add a bit more.....so....for anyone who doesnt know, u must go to live chat, and input yr account number and some details, and your original bet, and then speak to customer service for them to approve the "OVERLIMIT WAGER".

here is the transcript of the chat, whereveer it says "you, is me speaking, and HENRY is the cust service rep.

thats my original bet, placed at 153 pm........henry finalized my bet at 213, there were actually 2 guys retired for the visiting wsox at this time, and u can see he asked me "do u want it or not"?

im wondering if they had hit a 2 run homer there, i coulda easily said "nevermind", and now im wondering if this bet wins, will sportsbook.com come back to me and say "the game had already started at 213 pm, when the wager was placed.....


just kind of funny, wondering if any of u have similar experiences with overlimit wagers at sportsbook, or other book.

Sounds like they handwrit the ticket and it'll be posted after the game as an adjustment. You're lucky they gave you over the limit in the first place. I would've made a big issue out of it until after the game where you saw how they handled it. Now you might be on their shit list and $300 limits could be in your future.

i have never been denied over limit be4 so not sure what u mean by lucky they allowed it.

2ndly, i told them it was 207, and time was limited and the chatter had me on hold....he also double checked to s ee if iw anted it still.....


in addiiton, i bet 3-4k on my big baseball days, and 5k duruing some saturdays for ncaa football...i cant imagine theyd lower my limits at all, let alone to 300...im a platinum member there and id surely go elsewhere if i could only bet 300 and they are well aware of this


i think if they took action, theyd simply close my acct or tell me to go elsewhere rather than limit me to 300, as it has the same effect...in addition.....i reminded them often the game was starting.

I haven't gotten over the limit on anything since Clinton was President, but if they're getting you down, then more power to you. I've had places limit me left and right. I have one place that only takes $200 straight from me and they're an rx book...no lie. (And no, I don't try to fuck them with bad numbers.)

usually if you start a conversation prior to the start the bets will be accepted. if you were betting no runs in the first, that might of been different
