Depends on the book. Some have VERY low tolerance level for winners (SIA), some pretty much will never boot you if you aren't constantly beating them to the number. Most fall somewhere in between I would guess. If they don't boot you they will cut your limits so low you are forced to move on anyway. Have a specific book you are wondering about?
I never win so I never get booted.

Areef - actually it is higher than that in just about every case I know of at SIA. If you are just beating them they will probably let you go up to around 13-15 dimes or so. Maybe even 20. Just what a close friend who got booted told me.
Not sure if there is a specific time and point or if it just strikes them one day when they are approving another pay-out for you. LOL. I think you are on the low end though of what they will allow you to beat them out of.

There are books that welcome professional action. Most of these books will let you get down big with no hassles. If you're truly looking for an "out" that won't boot you, you should try:
CRIS
Grande
Cascade
Hollywood
Pinnacle (various dime pops)
Olympic
Those are the ones that I can name out of the top of my head. I'm sure posters here will be glad to add names to that list.
However, I AM sure most books will show you the door if you beat the screen going black. "Steam" they call it. But as far as I know, the steam plays is a thing of the past. You can still play them, it's just that they're not as profitable as 3-4 years ago.
Good luck

It implies a number of factors, but I'll try to put it simple; so, as a hypothetical example:
Let's say you take X-Team laying 3½, and 3 seconds later the DB screen goes black, reflecting a move towards -4. Having laid 3½ seconds before the move, is called "steam".
The most important question would be: Who creates these moves?
BTW,
I'd like to add BlueGrass to the list of shops with balls.

Are the 'betting exchanges' a solution to this problem? If the betting exchange truely does not take a position in the outcome and acts soley as a 'market maker' between individual betters, why should the exchange operator care if the better handicappers consistently win or how much they take home?

I've got some experience with BetExchanges. In theory it looks like a win-win situation for the players who have some arbitraging skills.
But based on my experience, I can tell you the manipulating nature of the exchanges favors the punters with LARGE capitals backing them up, as it should be. Personally, I think the smaller "sharp" player will have a bigger advantage on a traditional bookmaking model.
It's like being a talented poker player, you might be good enough to play to end of the hand, but you need the liquid back up to fight your way through.
Just my opinion though.

p2p betting,exchange betting etc.
US punters dont use p2p betting,not sure why.Perhaps guys with bigger experience than mine can explain this to us,I think that the nature of US sports might be a cause.
Another problem is that if you like betting on favorites,usually you ll be able get better lines somewhere else.P2P betting suits perfectly the underdog hunters.
