Question for full-time, successful punters:

Assuming you bet with IASbet, Centrebet, etc. (anyone other than TAB), and if you are consistently successful, wouldn't the bookies end up restricting your account so that you can only wager small bets, or maybe even ban you in an effort to save their bottom line?

I was just reading how IASbet had a $5.24 million operating loss for the 04/05 year. Just trying to put myself in the shoes of an IASbet manager; wouldn't you at least restrict some of your clients that are winning consistently?

Have any of you had your account restricted because you were too successful? Is this an action that is prevalent, or maybe only something done by the less reputable bookies? If you are very successful, how do you avoid being restricted, or is something that should not be of concern?
