Hi guys. Long time lurker, first time poster.

Over the course of the 12 months, I think I've found an edge with soccer betting. Specifically goal totals and team totals. I mostly target full match, second half totals, and specific team totals. In these 12 months, I've managed to turn a starting bankroll of $4,000 into a little over $180,000.

The issue I am facing now is that most of the legal bookies I have used, including but not limited to: bet365, betano, betway, fanduel, draftkings etc, have limited my bets to pennies or a few dollars per bet, even for the well known leagues. I decided to give a few popular crypto bookies a try, and those have limited me even faster. The only bookie that has not limited me is pinnacle, but they have been giving me issues with cashing out and are consistently delaying my withdrawals/asking for documentation.

So the question is, what would you do in my situation? Please do not say Vegas because I don't think I am at that level yet, especially considering I am still in college and currently studying. I'm mostly an introvert as well and spend 18 hrs a day on the computer. I find myself constantly looking for good betting opportunities and think I could do this full time in the future, I just don't know how. With bookies clearly limiting winners, I'm not sure where to turn. I've read about Haralabos Voulgaris and how he used to have "beards" place bets for him, including Floyd Mayweather, but I don't know how I would go about doing that.

Any advice would be appreciated. I am mostly just looking for advice or stories from people in a similar situation. I'm not winning at a 100% win rate either, but out of lets say 4 bets, I am consistently able to win 3/4. Some days I would even just place 1 "safe bet", and if that safe bet won, I would call it a day, or if it lost, I would double down on the next and take my winnings and run. The only issue is that many of the bookies I have used have limited me to the point where even if I lost just $500, I would be unable to place $1,000 on the next bet. It's super frustrating, especially with a bankroll of over $180,000. Yet I was just scrolling through sites like Ladbrokes and Stake, and I see some people placing $100,000+ bets per match. How is this possible?

Are these people sponsored or something?

Please keep discussion in this forum as I am unable to respond to DMs as a newbie. I do have a Telegram account for those looking to have a more in depth chat, but I am not sure if I am allowed to post it here (same username as BitcoinTalk).

Well as others have said, if you have such a sure fire and reproducible strategy then you should have no problem showing your friends how it is done - even if you gave them 20% to use their accounts you'd be making big bank. How exactly are you seeing people making $100k bets on Ladbrokes? As far as I know that is all private information that they don't share anywhere, no idea if Stake offers up that kind of information though. You should also note that a $100k bet might be pocket change to a select group of high rollers and those high rollers will be turning over enough bets, probably at a marginal loss, that the bookmakers keep them around and even woo them for future business.

Hi guys. Long time lurker, first time poster.
I wonder why every other newcomer starts with these exact lines. Grin

Over the course of the 12 months, I think I've found an edge with soccer betting. Specifically goal totals and team totals. I mostly target full match, second half totals, and specific team totals. In these 12 months, I've managed to turn a starting bankroll of $4,000 into a little over $180,000.
Lol, that was quick almost your second line of this long post. You made sure that your target audience do not miss Grin
No one who found a way to make infinite money will reveal such details to the public (especially in this forum full of wise members). You could have asked this question more without mentioning the 'almost exact nature of method' and your imaginary bankroll-building skills. Grin

I do have a Telegram account for those looking to have a more in depth chat, but I am not sure if I am allowed to post it here (same username as BitcoinTalk).
Grin Grin I will expose you here. Run because you will dig a deeper hole for yourself by replying.

I do not doubt that this is a pathetic scam attempt.

EDIT: Even if he suggests some sports betting tips to you and does not ask for money upfront (profit sharing basis), do not trust him he has no method. Chances are he is randomly telling you any tips.

Yeah, having bookies limit how much you can win sucks.  You know your stuff and want to make bank, but they wont let you and  it sucks.  You could scout out new bookies online - there are many bookies that accept new customers. You can try searching for "high roller bookies" or "bookies that accept large bets."  Might find some spots willing to let you toss down more cash. 

Theres also betting exchanges, where you bet against other gamblers instead of the house.  Lets you do your thing without limitations from the book.  This can even give you more flexibility and better odds.

I'm going to be honest, this looks like a very well written attempted scam post.
Trying to get people here to add your telegram then asking them to freeroll for you, just based on your last paragraph you do not seem sharp at all.

If it's not a scam post, then just use pinnacle, bookmaker or betting exchanges that don't limit you, like everyone with an edge does.
Pinnacle do not constantly ask for documents, at least in my case I provided once and never had to worry again, I've been using them for 5 years.
You can also use a betbroker for pinnacle like betinasia, bet-ibc, drinbet that use agent accounts, so you don't need to provide documents to pinnacle.
At least his topic is interesting because it is not spammed yet by random shitposts and some other skilled bettors like you have come to share their experience. Do you think he's true when he says "I decided to give a few popular crypto bookies a try, and those have limited me even faster." BTW?
Betting exchanges could be a solution for him indeed, but they are not available for many users of many locations unfortunately. Regarding bet brokers, I've read some testimonials not always very good TBH.

Amazing I recently made a post about a similar (or maybe exactly same) topic.

The chart is (almost completely) right however you forgot to add one more scenario where the casino doesn’t like you making ev+ bets. It is like you ignored this scenario either on purpose or you don’t think that is a common occurrence. When the casino notices your pattern of making only ev+ bets, they will close your account and put you on a black list and I not sure about that but I think casinos share their lists between them so you will get kicked from every other casino you KYC’ed with. (Again the last part might be my imagination but I can assure you the other stuff happened before)

You experienced a very similar situation to what I have described above.

I have a question though. Did they let you walk away with that earned $180k or did they bring any trouble? If they let you keep your profits then that’s a lot of money to win from gambling. Gz. My faith in the industry has been restored.

Still though, they didn’t let you earn forever like you had a job there. Many people dream of becoming a full time gambler and your post should be a wake up call.

Well, it’s the same thought I had when I first read the post - but I just decided to believe since there are people out there who might be making this via gambling.

I have read about brokers and even seen a newbie account claiming to be one; but what I have always harbored in my mind is if it’s really safe? You know giving money to a gambling broker to help you with your bets because of limits in your account seems like a risky move. Have you had experience with it?

So, you find a good betting method and now the casinos are locking the amount of your bets, for that you can ask to your friends if they can loan their accounts to you.

Or Another way is to use a casino that will not limit your betting amount, some good option are meta win or stake.
