They offered a boost today of Bryson over Koepka in round 1 of the US Open, giving +130. Only problem is my bet is limited to 81 cents. Yep, less than a dollar. I thought Fox Bet was bad, this is insane.

Yeah but why bother with that bet size? They can't take a $10 loss? My other bets aren't limited like that.

agree... they are sore losers... since you showed a way to win on props they want to chase you away and want a rec player that loses. Then the window is wide open,, the bigger markets are better for them to handle BUT if you win there... you are toast at DK but it takes a while... The old saying is ..if you want to get noticed play props... don't play props

In a market like this one best strategy is just make the money while you can. If they kick me out I can play at their mirror books or the competition. Just strange I can bet $100 on many baseball props, but not $1 on their well advertised "special".

Fuk the app

Betting on those should be reserved for emergencies only.

I prefer to bet anonymously at the kiosks

A lot of kiosks won't even let you bet without a card inserted. The untracked holes in the system are becoming very small.

I'm only familar with the ones at Fanduel Iowa.

The suits have even told me to bet as much as I like at them.

I can live with reasonable limits. Its putting up on the headline of the site about special offer on a bet, then going to make that bet thinking maybe I'll get $25 or $50 on it, then being told the limit is 81 cents that is insane. Why even put that bet on the headline of the site for me? Can't be that hard for their software to not show bets I can't really place. And if I can, telling me I can bet less than a dollar is ridiculous. I do bet on props with them (usually keep it to $100 max to avoid too much trouble) and they sent me an offer just a few days ago saying bet a dime with us and we'll give you $100 in free play. I have been giving them some action on that and nothing has been limited.

The other thing is William Hill is the only one that was classy enough to send an email and say hey look, we're going to limit what you can get and what you can bet. Hate on them all you want, at least they communicate. Lot different than these guys with the silly limits that just pop up out of nowhere. MGM has done the same with me, but often its to limit bets on MLB props to a win of around $70-80. Not happy about it, but if they sent an email stating that it would have been nice.

that was a good move by WH. I wonder how much prop business DK gets. That could be a reason to knock people down in limits. Though 81 cents is silly.
