    To one fawking dollar... I only live bet football and have a great grasp of situations, a la when a team will go for it on 4th, when a team will run, etc, and made over $500 today betting on the Compass bowl.  Needless to say they just reduced my limits to $1 a bet... one of my favorite hobbies is sitting in the recliner with a cold beer live betting.  Anyone else had this problem?

    yea, we forget that these online books are for recreational use only. If you want to make big money you have to go to vegas or know a reliable local, but locals don't do live betting. just next time lower your wages or they will flag you. plus bovada trash.

    Yeah it just happened to me yesterday.  For the past 5 months I have been playing live tennis.  Went from $100 max wager in live play, to eventually $600...After my account went from $2000 to $10000 in a matter of weeks, they capped my max bet to $18....All other non live sports went from $2000 max to $50 max....i asked why and the sports team says the book manager won't name specific reasons out of confidentiality.  I'm hearing this more and more about bovada.lv, they cap off winners and only won't the losers as clients.  About to wire all my funds out and join 5dimes or betonline....I second that bovada is trash!  Bodog was good, but not these crooks!!@!!!

    Almost every book will limit winners. I've been wagering online since 1998 and have been limited by carib, sia, sporksbook.com, sportsbetting.com, bovada, bet 365, betusa.com, hollywoodsportsbook.com, etc. I only books that still take my action are pinnacle and 5 dimes. They both have live wagering, so give them a try.

    Hello!
    I'm encountering the same stuff. However I'm from United States so that most of the good books were not available for me. Any good recommendations for me?

    Completely and utterly false. 

    I never took a bonus from them and my limit for live betting is $1 and all other limits are 10% across the board.
