BET ED JUST CUT ME DOWN TO $25 max bet per game!!!

TheWolf · Mar 8, 2008

Unbelievable......was betting $100 or $200 per game.....had a nice run, lost some, then had another nice run, and beat them on a few line moves and my bet limit was cut down to $25!!!! This happen to anyhone else there.

I am so fed up with this industry the way it is right now I am real close to being done.

This has been somewhat well-documented.

Couldnt find anything on here GB before I deposited with them........gees though, $100-$200 a game? It wasnt like I was winning $1k or $2k a game. Down to $25........will I now run into trouble trying to withdrawal all my funds?

you only bet $100 to $200 per game and they cut down to $25?? wow.... you must be using shady book... you mind if I ask you which book you use? move to betjam or 5dimes. 5dimes cut me from $1000 max to $500 max once before but still good book imo.

Hello XXXXX

As per the Sportsbook Manager, a decision to lower this accounts' wagering limits has been made to allow a maximum wager of:$25.00

Thank you for your business.

.....as if things arent bad enough right now, amazing some books do this to save what amounts to a few pennies.

That is simply why he is winning because of that particular book and the lines he is getting there. He most likely wouldnt be winning if he tried to do what he is doing at one of the books you mentioned. I may be wrong but I have talked to him in the past and I know how he approaches his betting and he is looking for numbers that are a little off from the normal lines. You have to realize that and I am sure that he would say the same thing.

Now as for what Bet Ed is pulling that does suck and does seem weak on their part. I am in there myself and bet alot like Wolf but I havent really won there so my limits havent been touched. They are doing some different things with their lines there lately and there is value all over the place, not sure why they have started to move numbers so much. It's not like they are bumping favoirtes either.

My best advice is to try and spread your money into 5 books if you are going to do this because that way you are not hitting the same book everytime there is a move but I totally know what you mean. I am in a situation that I have 2 books that I have beat on a regular basis and I am scared they are going to boot me soon so I am getting out and going back later. I also am not chasing steam but more or less timing the arket and looking for off numbers. I try and spread this around. I am in around 10 books at all times and I honestly hope I lose at a few of them sometimes, as long as I am winning overall. Like a few have said just look for different books there are a ton of them out there. . It does suck we have to play games like this but like you said the industry has been getting more and more like that.

Well said Ice. Sadly though, like I said, I won there, lost big, then won again, and now had limits cut. I also bet my own games as well, so I guess they just ignored those. I have never cashed out of there yet either, so it wasnt like I was beating them for thousands of dollars either.

Even funnier is that I have a local, and have bet his stale lines since january in NCAABB (sides only) and have done nothing but lose with him for the most part.

I have a buddy who has a local that takes CBB sides only and he claims the same thing, getting pounded.

I have had the greatest stretch of betting I ever had in january and it was all due to CBB totals. It has slowed down a little but still good. CBB totals steam (remember you must get the same number, no compromising) is a winner every year. The books get smashed with CBB totals from the sharps. I am scared those days are numbered soon.

That book cut my limits 2 years ago. I had to move on. It always took quite a while for payouts. Like if I requested a moneygram payout on Monday, i wouldnt receive it until Wednesday at the earliest

Beted is a good book I won over $10,000 from them and then they cut my limits to $100 in December. From then on I withdrew $1500 each week (Maximum Allowed) until I got out. They paid every cent thats something other books out there might not be able to do!

TheWolf · Mar 8, 2008

Well paftraft, that is good to hear.....got a lot of money tied up there right now, and at $25 a game, there isnt much I can do with that money until I cash it out.

PO69 · Mar 8, 2008

The maximum amount $1500 really sucked though. They may have changed that though now

TheWolf · Mar 8, 2008

No its still the same.....

Man did they fuck my Saturday of betting college hoops up, as my funds are essentially frozen there until I can withdraw. I'm sure freezing me on the day of the week with the biggest card wasn't by accident.

Just a nice way of saying get lost...you must have beat quite a few line moves..if indeed they were BW's plays, I would have kept you on and used your info accordingly...

It's a terrible book if $100 bets even catch their eye.

since they lowered your limits-- you should be allowed to take the money out...fwiw
