After 2 days of betting college basketball. My new limits are $22 on Sides and $11 on totals. Awesome book.

For as much shit as FD and DK get they are actually better than 90% of the books here in Colorado. Super and Pointsbet will send me to a trader and limit my bet to around $200. Ceasers is now much better haven't been limited by them at all since the takeover. Wynn SBK betway twinspires barstool betfred betrivers elite tipico playup maxim all are complete horseshit.
I've had to reopen offshore accounts just to get down again it's ridiculous for supposedly legal sports gambling in my state.

Yep, mostly same here. I stopped withdrawing money from books I'm ahead of so thankfully the limits aren't as extensive but I agree on the horseshit nature of books. Also noted same thing with Caesars, the switch meant all the William Hill limits on bets and promos went away for the time being.
Wynn told rhe world this week they were going to stop promoting the book so much and try to make money. Too late their SPAC merger blew up anyways.

Not only does MGM have a sportsbook, the market values that book as being worth between $18 and $20 BILLION. And yet they can only offer me a $6 bet on a full college game. I beat them out of some money betting props and doing some arbs on them, but limiting me to pennies on a full game that the whole sportsbetting world is offering just shows what a shit show legal betting is becoming. I still have my offshores and I'm using them almost as much now because of crap like this.

Gotta wonder about DK and their limits. They are bleeding money.

Ok so what is your history of being limited at other books.
also were you betting the limit for these two days on 6 digit games.
I'm just asking questions and not saying you did something shady.
this is sad to see.
hopefully as the market grows we will see this less and less.
Just got off the chat. They've limited me across the board. Said it was the traders decision and that they're very sorry for the inconvenience.
I don't think it was just my college basketball wagering now. I think a lot of it had to do with how I was using the chips on their little parlay wheel. I would make my regular bet and then my second leg would be a huge favorite of 75/1 or better. Spin the wheel and I was was getting +130 on bets that should have been -108. I assumed I would get burned eventually with the big fav but it was def +EV.
I'm limited at about 65% of the books here in Colorado. Still got five or six I'm playing at regularly plus offshore. But yeah I'm getting the hint they don't want anything to do with advantage players. They have all these goofy little promotions they run and then kick you out for using them.

Yeah those promos, Rivers is the worst. They have shit where its like get something +250 that's supposedly +200, max bet $25. Then you try to bet it and it says sorry limited to $14.32 or some random number. Most of them are bullshit not really a promo to begin with. DraftKings does the same thing with their odds boosts.
These clowns want to tell the world that they are worth billions because sports betting is going to be so huge. Meanwhile they can't take a loss of $50. They have no idea how this ends, offshore people with experience could tell them but since the industry looks at anything offshore as black sheep they don't get useful opinions. They just get internal circle jerks in which they convince themselves that eventually half of all American males will want to bet on sports and they will gladly give up 15-20% edges on bullshit like single game parlays with opaque odds because American men are just stupid idiots who can't do simple math.
Well good luck to them. In 5 years they will still be telling Wall Street about their TAM (total addressable market) and Wall Street will be saying why is your real market 10% of this TAM you tell us about? At that point they will have burned through all the fish and banned all the people who know anything, leaving them what?

The opening odds start here
That's abysmal. I'd try to slam their asses by betting 3 and 4 teamers.

Sorry to hear this.
So I can come to the conclusion that casinos and sportsbook are using these promos and bonus as bait for the +EV bettors to come out of the woodwork to take advantage of it and then simply identify them and thus limit them.
I like listening to +EV podcasts when the discussion is do you take what you can now and then expect to get banned or limited or do you avoid this "easy money" and instead stay under the radar for the long haul and slowly take money out of that casino/book.
I don't have an opinion but I guess this style is just to each their own.

I’m wondering if this is a Wynn bet decision or the Indian casino’s?

I don't know. So here's my draftkings report but I stopped for this reason. I just didn't want to be limited and messed around with. DK always has good boosts and promos but at what point do they mark your account. I play very light there now because of these worries. I still drink from time and time and bet stupid too but if I can do it anybody can. I just feel like there comes a point where they put their foot down and proclaim they're the boss.
