My wagers for NCAAB were restricted to a max. of $1.00 at BetED, this morning.  Are there any online books that advertise their betting "thresholds," or at least are a little more candid about catering to high-limit bettors?  I get the "need" for limits (It's a business.), but at least be semi-open about them.  Apparently I'm banned for life from wagering on college b'ball >$1.00, so are there any sites that won't hold grudges if I go on a bit of a streak?

Get back to your paper route little fella. You don't impress me or anyone else here. 

No one gives a rats ass about you, your made up tales or your childish little outbursts. Common signs of an insecure little kid.

Today is collection day on the route isn't it. You might make a couple of bucks for a wager.

I will check back in a few hours for your inevitable next bullshit story and childish name calling tantrum. Stomp your feet while you are at it. 

Then post your bullshit about what a big shooter you are. Maybe how you are a tough guy and your gonna kick some ass.

Don't disappoint us either big shooter, Bandwidth Bouncer, King of the Internet.

15 year old kids should not be allowed on this site

Are you talking to me or Luckbird?  I really did get cut off and yes, that is a small amount of money compared with other book standards.  That's the point of the whole post.  Didn't know if you were referring to Matchbook though.

Some of the low grade or recreational books will cut players off or reduce limits. It was a legitimate question, I apologize for sending this thread in the wrong direction.

Matchbook will never cut anyone off for winning heavily. It simply is not their money. The more volume they handle the more money they make.

I have been with the Greek for quite some time both on my own and syndicated. To my knowledge they do not limit wagers and I have never heard of them cutting anyone off. I have seen money well in excess of what Junior was claiming, handled on a week ly basis.

What kind of limits are you looking for? A good book with good customer service will be up front with those questions. It does not hurt to ask before you initiate a deposit. 

I would recommend Pinnacle but I see you may not have that option. The Greek would be my next choice.

Again my apologies for my conduct in your thread.

haha, no worries.  I was talking about the guy above me before your post.  I get the concept of "limiting" wagers, but I think it's cheap not to advertise that policy, especially because I tend to think that $3000-4000 is a low number.  They limited me at +3000.  Normally, I like bankrolling 2 to 3000 and then start paying out.  My wife is an attorney so this is just money to get me through grad school.  I know that disgusts Luckbird, but that's just the way it is!

Billy is on the right track...your playing at a square recreational book and that how's most of them roll. They don't. Like anyone who even shows an inkling that they may win.....books like cris/bookmaker...greek ..pinny and such handle sharp action as well as rec players....greek has and will cut limits but I doubt anyone fishing around on this forum has to worry about it.....two shops are in my opinion write the strongest action are pinnacle and betgrande...grande is all credit and handles all comers.

GREEK would never cut you off over 65k.... 

MATCHBOOK would want you to win 65K so they can collect their cut.  Its an exchange so im confused not really but find it very funny.

Cant speak for any other book..  But I can guarantee you that GREEK would not cut you off for a smll amount like that..  Maybe if you hit that for 10 yrs straight .

Only fucking bitches apologize. You don't have to worry about any of this as you bet 100 dollars a game and make 25k a year in your street crew job.

Billy Ocean - What you need to understand is that all of this gambling is just for fun in my world. I make over a million dollars per year and have a distinctly unique life filled with exuberant things. The 500 bucks that you lose is literally pennies under my couch for me. Now shouldn't you be taking it in the ass from your boyfriend? Tell him I said hi
