Well, obviously, of course not. If you're asking that question, you should probably take up baccarat. It's a dumb question.
For civilians, however, it's a reasonable question (I suppose), so I will address it in some blog entries. I have some decent stories -- in one, I'm a horse's ass (nothing new), in another I'm stupid (relative rare when it comes to sports gambling), and in another I don't get banned, just limited to $1.75 or thereabouts on futures.
Rather than waste these stories here, I'll post them for a general audience on my blog.
Mickey makes the classic, kind-of-silly error in his posts regarding this. Sports books limiting somebody is not analogous to them fearing or respecting the bettor. That's obviously not the case 99% of the time they limit somebody. I'm stunned that mickey tried to make that analogy for a relatively small wager by Spanky.
As I've laid out in the past, sometimes limits vary by your card status and the tier-level that book assigns to a particular game. As CET did for years (I haven't made a substantial CET wager in a couple years, so not certain that's the current formula). Sometimes books limit you because they're gutless maroons.
I wish I had videotaped last August when I went to the Hard Rock sports book and tried to bet a future. I tried to get down $250. You know how much they took from me? Guess again.
They took a sawbuck.
Does that mean they fear and respect me? LOL. Of course not. It was my first wager there. They don't know me from Adam. They're just tight, gutless maroons.
Anyway, when I get the blog entries written, I'll post a link here. I've been recruited to work on a script or two for IHEARTRadio. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm giving it a try. So time is scarce. Plus it's the XFL, baby!
