Can you win over time and not be black-balled?

[Tulsa]

I was wondering. Is it possible to win over time and significant amounts of money online and not have your play refused? Is is possible to make a living from sports wagering and make 40k or more a year without having to turn to touting for a living? IN SHORT: Do they cut you off if you win? Tulsa

yes. get lots of outs and you don't have to worry.

Definitely. I fit into the category you mention - and have for a few years - and I've never been banned anywhere. I've only ever even been restricted twice that I recall (Bet365 and Intertops - and from some recent observations I think Intertops may have lifted or eased my restrictions).

I find it important to learn the industry and monitor a forum or two.

I don't think there's a lot of indutry-wide blackballing (except for true scammers), however there are lots of individual books that will boot or limit your action severely. There are also a good number that will not.

Not for that kind of money, unless all you are doing is playing steam. If you are handicapping and winning under six figures a year you might go a whole career and never get backed off. Chances are a couple might do it anyways, but nothing all that serious.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for your help and info. Red007, I am assuming that a lot of outs means a lot of books to spread the play around (and also be able to shop lines.)
Groucho, D2bets, WildBill and Red007, hopefully we'll see you guys at the withdrawal windows!!!! Good luck all. Tulsa
