Only $100 000

Hi,

A friend of mine won a LOT of money within a few days recently, probably close to $300 000, but the book he was playing with would only give him $100 000(max win per week) because they say that has always been their rules.

In their rules it does state that weekly win is $100 000 max, but they didn't stop him from wagering. Is there anything he can do to get the rest, and is this right for a sportsbook to do?

A lousy rule IMHO, but if it's posted then I don't see that the player has any recourse. Placing a limit on winnings either in a week, and/or in a single wager, is not uncommon.

Were these parlays or straight bets? This rule usually comes into play with parlays.

I agree that if it's posted in the rules, the book is covered, but I don't agree with letting the guy play when in fact they knew he could only lose.
