I have an account at MGM and my balance is a little over $500 and have never taken a payout. I am even or small loser there. My biggest balance there ever was around $660. I usually make one bet a day there on their Lion's Boosts. I used to bet more of the boosted parlays but there hasn't been much value there so I stopped. I have made some regular straight bets there also over the years. Today I tried to bet their Lion's Boost which was Lamar Jackson to have at least 2 passing TD's at +220. It rejected any bet saying I have exceeded bet amount but I never bet it. They also gave me Bonus Bet. They give a weekly Bonus Bet of $10. I bet Creighton on the money line. I tried to bet $20 more of my own money and it refused bet. I kept lowering the amount saying I exceeded limit. Now I just picked a college basket at random and I tried to bet $20 on Miami Florida at +2.5 and it said I could only bet $13.33. On the Daily Lion's boost they usually cap me at around $7.88. I assumed they just don't take much money on that. I have never been capped on a regular straight bet. I understand flagging bettors who are consistent winners but to flag a penny ante bettor who usually only bets $25 and has never been up more than $160 at your book is ridiculous. This place reminds me of the El Cortez in Las Vegas that used to 86 Blackjack players who spread $1-$5 dollars at their tables because they were afraid they were card counters.

I tried once again today to bet Lion's Boost and they refused any size bet. I decided to close account put in for a withdrawal request to pick money up at cage. This request can take up to 5 business days to approve. What happens if you are an out of state visitor who comes to The Borgata for the weekend. You decide to open an account so you can make in progress bets on football or basketball while you are in your hotel room. You arrive Friday and now it's Sunday afternoon and you want to take your money out as you return to your home. You put the request in and now you wait. It most likely won't be approved till Monday at earliest. I don't understand how these online books operate in NJ. The MGM owns The Borgata. If you open up an account at the Stations or Coast properties in Las Vegas while you are there for weekend. You simply walk up to the sportsbook cashier, request withdrawal and you have your money in 5 minutes.

Weird, I hear these stories all the time and I shake my head as most books should atleast take a $100 bill from anyone sharp or square. I have never had issues betting, maybe I suck lol. I have been backed off Parlay Cards for playing stale lines, never from betting sides or totals. NFL Sides, they shouldn’t limit you to $15 EVER.

A/ Move to Canada.
B/ Open with pinny. If your picks are right they will cover the move. Get lucky and they will buy your house for you.

Well, it IS an option.

They are watching you don't bet over $100? Or even less after rereading your post.

Mickey mouse dog shit.

the more I think about it, the guys that bitch about being banned or limited take advantage of small market props. I have never seen NFL sides limited to $15
