It seems like our local sharks are their favorite targets. I’ve personally never dealt with anyone trying to cap my action here, regardless of whether I was hitting a big win on some random Challenger tennis match or a Champions League fixture.
Spot on. At these domestic bookmakers, I’ve laid down heavy sums and walked away with both massive wins and crushing losses without anyone even blinking. A few of my friends and acquaintances have had the exact same experience; they still play today without facing any restrictions whatsoever. I remember running into an old acquaintance about 12 or 13 years ago—the guy was practically carrying $100,000 in his jacket and wanted to put it all on a Venus match, I can't recall who her opponent was. It was some tiny underdog odds, and the USA sportsbook just rejected him outright. That is honestly the only time I’ve ever seen a bet refused. To be clear, payouts in the $30,000 to $40,000 range didn't cause a single stir. And keep in mind, those figures were in the currency used during that referendum the Knight mentioned.
