Invisible limits of bookmakers?

Thu Dec 10, 2015 4:05 am

Hello everyone. Recently I have run into a couple of issues when placing bets on soft books. The problem is that I can't see the maximum bet size until I have already attempted to confirm the bet.

For example, I'll place the bet at Bet365 for $450 and then I will click place bet on Unibet for $320 and when I click place bet it will say "Error! The max bet for this event is $120" or something like that.

How do you all deal with that?

Thanks,
Cash

as for bet365 they have a "bet max" option right under the bet placement area.  afik, all other books state their max bets in their rules, if they are not stated directly on the betting line page.

Easiest thing to do is to place a "million" dollar/euro/whatever bet and see the limit b4 hand.

from now on you know that you have to place first at unibet then at bet365. so as you keep betting you learn how to move.

Im not sure if placing a million dollar bet is a good idea as maybe it will appear to traders the bet you are trying to bet & as we all know traders are not that stupid.
