A friend hit a trifecta last weekend and it paid 2400.00. Monday morning he got an email stating that he could no longer bet exactas, trifectas, or superfectas. Plus he was limited to 10.00 win, place, or show bets. Why would anyone bet with a sportsbook that will cut you off if you win. Is this common practice?

I will also mention this. They did mail him a check for his winnings, the issue is that they shut him off from betting.

Never play horses offshore.

Sign up with Twin Spires, TVG, or another ADW.

Most offshore books have huge limits on how much they will pay out and not give true odds on the payout. Biz is right you should play the horses with tvg, express bet etc.

You should never e er at horses offshore.....horse racing is legal in almost every state, its easy to set up an account online with a company as Biz stated.

Back in the 80's through the mid 90's, before offshore wagering, local BMs would take action on greyhounds and horses. If you beat them up enough, they would say no more of that. I see this as not all that different, although you would generally have to exhibit that you had talent and weren't just lucky.

Thanks for all the input. Sounds like this is a common practice for off shore books. TVG is not an option in my state. I'll check some of the other suggestions.

No ADW allows Texas residents to play with them.

I dont see a problem in limiting a player or closing their account IF paid in full every time first and also not limiting them to an unfair bet size until rollover is cleared.

Bovada is protecting themselves over the long haul and that is a smart move and actually makes betting their for the rest of us safer.

I only have 2 online/offshore accounts now....w/ a limited amount in each. One is Bovada. They do a good job. I don't like the format of their website, but I haven't had an issue....although I'm not wagering very much per bet.

So what your saying if you had lost a bunch of money and started winning back and they cut you off you wouldn't have a problem with it. Yeah right!

What does horse betting have to do with college football?
Is there an off shore book that has good horse betting and does not cut off winners?
I believe Pinnacle never cut off a better unless it was horse racing. Now I believe Pinnacle has done away with horse racing.
Many of these offshore betting companies I trust more than American companies.


Long story short.
