My matchbook account reached 5000 yesterday...
felt a little antsy and cashed out a large chuck of it...
I guess 5k is my max to have in an account at one time.

start to feel antsy at around 5k myself. Though nothing has ever happened (knock on wood). In the big scope of things I am sure 5k is just a small blip on the radar to books/exchanges like Matchbook and they have alot of guys with easily over 5 figures all over the place.

I got burned by BOS with large balances. Never again. 5k would probably be my max now. I have had up to 6 figs in the past

5 figures(+) at (really limited only by the max I could conceivably need there at 7 days notice)
High 4 / Low 5 figures at Matchbook/Pinny/Oly
3 figures at most other offshores.

The most I have ever had in an online book has been about $2,500 but my comfort level would probably get antsy around $4,000 and I would be a nervous wreck if it ever hit $5,000

Ironically, the most I have lost in one week of sportsbetting (local) has been over $10,000....I guess this tells me I'm better off online.

I had 7 grand in my Sportsbook account around Xmas and was very nervous. Not so much about getting paid but more that I would increase my own betting limits and lose a large chunk fast. Cashed out and am happy I did.

With difficulties in posting up at books and transferring money quickly, any strategies on where to play or how to bet larger amounts of money given that the responses thus far have been average of 5K at a book and maxing at low 5 figures?

If you are looking to spread yourself out, there was a thread a couple of weeks back that listed which shops you could transfer to and from. I'm too lazy to look it up.

Matchbook/WSEX and Greek/Betjam are the only books I would feel safe with more then 4 figures. I would be worried about books closing, but also taking my money and giving me the boot.

I would not think twice of a balance of 50k at Olympic or WSEX - literally would not even think about.

You deposited $500 and ran it up to 35k?

I just want to make sure I didn't read that wrong. Please tell me the story.

i turned 100$ into 35K at betonsportsonline and made a huge mistake obviously (due to what book I used)

Well I got trapped and (sure enough later on found out who they were...an F at Sprtbkrview)

It was my first time ever betting...jus wanted to try it and went on a sick streak...like 38-3 (not kidding)and I went from betting 20$ a game from day 1 to betting 2K a game in the end.

Needless to say I tried to withdrawl during the winning ways (like once over 2K) and they sent me 500 (in 2 days)...then I got over 5K and tried to get my first 1K check and it took a week....and then I was up over 10K and tried to get 2500 and it took almost a month...but during that time I amasted another 25+ grand...it was pretty sick...so I kept calling support and they would tell me that the manager was out and bunch of bs stories...and then I asked how much avg player had in there account and they said I was a small time player(so it made me not worried...as at that point I was bettin 2K a game)...(but i picked and choosed my spots...always have...so 10 wins took a month.)

To make a longer story short...I got out the 2500 I mentioned and the 1K before that and the 500 before that (so 4K) and then had roughly 35K in my account and requestd 10K.

It took over 3 months for me to even get in contact with a manger...every day I was nervous they would jus delete my account and say they hadnt heard of me...

So i finally got ahold of one...and they said I had to be part of some syndicate or something...cause no one had a luck streak on them ever like I did before...I told them I wasnt of course and blah blah....they said basically they would make a deal...They would send me the 10K im asking for and then take half of my leftover 25K back and i had to roll over the remaining 12500 10 times to cash anything out.


I was obviously pissed...but the other option was or else we are going to consider u part of a betting syndicate(in other words u are screwed on all ur funds)....so I took the deal...10K was shipped overnite....I got super pissed in book and bet it 2500 on 5 games in one day with remaining money...and lost 4 out of 5...and then over next week I lost the remaining 4500 or so....It was pure tilt I guess...or the catch up from my unreal streak of lifetime.


Anyway...it was bullshit...but u live and u learn...and u blow up peoples homes if u ever goto costa rica..lol jk



all and all...be very careful

i also got burned,but it was by esb,around a little bit over 7,000.it will make you think twice about offshore,because once that money is gone its gone.
