All four books cut limits on certain people from time-to-time.
Diamond drastically cuts limits on lots of people.
Greek will limit you to $100 on teasers, make you call in all your bets, etc.
CRIS will specifically change the teaser odds on the individual accounts of players who are beating them on teasers, while leaving the "squares" with favourable teaser odds. In effect, they are kicking out the sharps while allowing the squares to continue to bet teasers.
I could go on, but I won't.
So the only places that don't cut limits are exchanges? Too bad they have no liquidity.
I have never heard of Diamond cutting limits on anybody, do you have a source for this (outside of the one post on SBR by some guy who claims to have seen "losing accounts get their limits cut")?
You seem to know a lot. I didn't know Matchbook had so much liquidity.
Anytime I check an NBA game, I see something like $500 being offered.

When I was talking about cut limits, I was really referring to straight bets in general. Greek may well cut you on teasers (if they catch you doing Wong teasers most likely), but they will never cut your limits on any straight bets and as with all four of the books I listed, you will never have to be worried about your money - it is safe.
Also, I have to add that I know for a fact that CRIS does not cut limits on prop bets (which include quarter bets).
I haven't heard of CRIS changing odds on teasers for sharp players, but it wouldn't shock me that much. Again, you can beat all four of the books I listed for as much as you want with the majority of bet types. There will of course be a select few exceptions (possibly international sports at Greek and CRIS)..and don't go betting steam all day as I would not be surprised if any of those four books frown on that and might ask you to stop or risk having your limits cut. But that would have to be a pretty extreme case and unlikely at CRIS and Pinny (they may threaten you, but chances are they won't follow through).
Books are not in the business of giving people money. They are like fast food companies. If they find that a location (Joe Sharp gambler) is causing them to bleed money they just get rid of the location. What else would you expect? Of course some books are inefficient just like some fast food companies. of course it takes time to realize that a location is losing money. A sharp gambler will take advantage of such inefficiencies. Don't count on them to last for ever.
DSI (Diamond) will not cut your limits, you are right Billy, been with them for years, they are terrific for an 'out', 5Dimes is my primary book.
I just wished they would give you -105 reduced juice.
