Account survival predictor
Predict when your bookmaker account will be limited or closed
Estimate how long your bookmaker account will survive before limits, based on betting patterns that trigger detection.
How bookmakers detect sharp bettors
Soft bookmakers run automated detection on every account: win rate above 53% over 50+ bets, frequent boost claims, late-line betting, arbitrage patterns, round-stake amounts. Once flagged, you get partial limits (max stake β¬5-20) or full closure. This calculator estimates your survival horizon based on those signals. Track your edge legitimately with CLV calculator and use Sure bet scanner knowing each arb shortens account life.
Note: Pinnacle, Betfair Exchange, and a few Asian books don't limit winners. If you have real edge, target those rather than fighting soft-book detection.
