Lotsa books do that unfortunately. The sad truth is that 90% of these books available to us on the net don't have an inkling of how to balance their action, so the only way they can survive is to either limit, or kick out those who win. I swear, they should have disclaimers that say "if you don't plan on losing, don't sign up". It's sickening.

Pinnacle won't limit you however. Unfortunately I can't use Pinnacle anymore. You Canadian guys are lucky.

Olympic won't limit ya either, or BetCris.....but Pinnacle's lines crush those guys IMO.

Dime bets are penny candy to those books with the volume of action they take....Pinny's max bet on some games is 100K....and I believe at least 25K on anything else, so you'll be safe there no matter how much you wanna bet.

One problem though, you won't beat the line move at Pinny, or get shitty off market lines like you can at SIA....which is the only reason I even use SIA. Can't tell ya how many times I've won by a half point, when others who had the same play as me either pushed or lost....especially in hoops, by taking advantage of a goofy line at SIA that was a full point or more off market.

I don't bet big enough for them to care though apparently, and even if they did limit me to $300 for sides, I wouldn't care anyway. It's so rare that I would make a bet of over $300 that it wouldn't effect me.

My advice would DEFINITELY be to switch to Pinnacle though. Best book ever, and G.W. and his boys in congress can lick my balls for screwing up my ability to use them....
