I have been betting sports for a couple years now and in the beginning lost my butt. Now I am staying diciplined and am using a money management system and investing instead of gambling. My question is this...........I am using a significant sized bankroll starting for football season through the rest of the year. I will be using an avg. wager around 1-2 dimes/play. If I start to make alot of money over the course of the year will the books start to limit my play/winnings? Also with books in Vegas? Will they let you take them for 300,000-400,000/year?????? Comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Stick with Chris, Pinnacle, and Olympic. I have never heard of anyone being cut off there.

:iagree: The bigger books are better for the bigger players. Never heard any complaints about limiting winnings with those two books.

BeantownJim....hey buddy I guess you are not a very successfull gambler yourself since you have to make your money off of losers. I guess you are one of the 95 % of people who are unsuccessful at sports gambling. So thats why you have to resort to getting 20% off referrals (actually give me your number, I can refer some losers too). Hey, hook me up with your locals and give me about 6 months so I can rail them. They'll probably cut me off before that. So your telling me that you don't know anybody who makes 100's of thousands of dollars sports investing? I know plenty, and I have only been doing this for a few years. PS-Did I say I was a high roller? No. Not yet at least:)

At 1-2 dimes per play, you'll have to clear about 250 single units to make your 300-400k. Almost too funny really.

Balckman glad you got a laugh from it. I mean this has got to be one the dumbest post I have ever read. First he is asking about limits then he is a highroller. Now if you are making anything near what he is saying don't you think you would know what limits your action could be taken and paid at. Second hes asking a gambling board about limits but he knows several highrollers. Yea right. Gee why ask my highroller buddies all the millionaires at madjacks should have an answer. I mean is this not some of the stupidist shit you ever read.

Thats like saying, I'm hung like John Holmes but do any of you goes know someone who can give me a penis enlargement.

Give me a fn break. Like beandip said, deliver his paper and go find some other place to solicist your b.s.

Many you guys are tough, give the guy a break he should clear 300,000 by mid season. NEVA let me know when your ready to throw up a true SPORTS INFO/STATS SITE. Im down. Half these stats sites are so ****ed up with their info it should be outlawed.

I'll never forget a post by IE many years ago--too far back to recapture but truer words were never spoken. In essense it noted how football was hardest sport to beat and the most wagered sport in america--his advice was to not allocate your whole roll for foots.

Books will verify that by giving low juice to no juice at times to capture all they can in this market.

While it is just my opinion I think there are much fewer variables in capping individual sports ie tennis-racing-golf ect. Personally I like golf --and officials are even eliminated,leaving few intangibles except player performance. However the downside is they load up the juice in effort to profit.

Hokie these guys may sound harsh but you would be wise to think carefully about what they are saying. You say you have only been doing this a couple of years. You have had a little bit of a lucky run lately most likely - don't get carried away. So maybe you have been winning a lot of baseball. But maybe you have been taking almost all favorites and haven't been buzz-sawed yet by upset after upset. I don't know. You definitely should treat it like investing if you are putting serious $ in and it is good you have a money management plan - I hope you stick to it at all costs. Also hope you are using some kind of system to make your plays as I believe it is necessary. Just my opinion and good luck and good skill.
