Well they did THAT to me (the bolded part). But hey, it's their loss. My groundbreaking strat of betting on any NFL team in the 2nd half up 14+ at halftime apparently bothered them. Too bad, since it went ice cold in teh second half of the season and they lost out on about $14k that I lost elsewhere.

i think that betphoenix has every right to limit whoever they want.. they do it whenever they need to limit a player who is considered non recreational.
at the greek on the other hand... u can win the world and they will increase and increase ur limits. lol hoping the streak ends.. my one bud had bout 80k there.. from 10K deposit. and they let him bet the whole 80K on two games 40K a pop.. this was way above the posted limit online.. but they were willing to take a shot at him and let him take one.. needless to say he lost both instead of split and the book made out like a bandit...
just saying.. its a books right to do as they wish

Now here is something to cry about:

Oddsmaker, scam sportsbook, steals bettors winnings
Two Oddsmaker players tell SBR that their balances have been erased. Oddsmaker seized $25,371.78 from player one on the grounds of "professional play". Oddsmaker confiscated $42,700 from the second player accusing him of fraudulent activity. On January 21st, SportsbookReview reported Oddsmaker had stolen $26,000+ from two seperate player accounts; Oddsmaker's justification was again that the players were non-recreational gamblers. |

What BetPhoenix did was fair, and I have no problem with it ... and how do we know it was for "winning"????
I once talked to the a person at a major book once about booting players... and he said:

"We don't get rid of people for winning ... but if a guy is just lurking and waiting for a soft line all the time ... and never gives us any other action, then we don't need him"
yea tell me about it! im one of those accounts... ARgh..
I agree it is their right to limit players, but it is also our right to let others know so they don't play there. Being a little greedy by banning sharps can be far more detrimental to a book by losing players that lose money but hope to one day be a winners
