How about just tell me how many peanuts I'm allowed to wager or ban me.

Say I attempt a 5K wager on a (-247) favorite (using one sports book in particular)
- Sometimes they accept it.
- Most times they send a 'negotiated offer' back at something very specific - '$2454.92'. This specific amount tells me there is some algorithmic calculation going on. So I take it. Then say later that day the line has moved from (-247) to now (-355). I bet another $1.5K. They accept.
Say I attempt a wager of 5K on a (+200) prop bet
- They may come back with a 'negotiated offer' of $300.
Side note - there was a sports book that was giving me 'negotiated limits' so low and so often, I stopped using them for over a year or so. I randomly tried to use them again and I am NOT getting declined on anything. Definitely something worth noting

The fact that in gliese’s case, no negotiated number is offered, it tells me they don’t have an algorithm ready to go. That sounds incompetent to me. I’m actually feeling a lot better about the sports books I’m using now that I think of it, even though I find these negotiated wager limits annoying

Other books do the same but only for livebetting where it seems that they lower the limit based on the odds. For example I was only allowed to bet $10 on Chepe Mariscal when he was +1600 but the same book will set a limit at $150 or $200 on many other occasions where I bet live.
Now you'd think it's a very small book that has Mariscal hit +1600 in a match like that but it's really not, it's one of the biggest books in Europe. They just have very loose live odds.
I have other books that behaves like Kniferusty describes where they will always fire back with a maximum allowed wager to a very specific amount down to the cent (or öre as we call the smallest denomination in Sweden) which seems to indicate it's an automated formula of some kind.
I've also had the same experience of getting my limits raised a bit (though not dramatically) when I drastically lowered my use of a site and some times had passed.

Imagine dropping down from middleweight to lightweight to fight a featherweight, having a 76’ reach with a 6’2 height advantage, and you still got taken down and ground & pounded in three minutes by a man who theoretically weighs sixty pounds less than you on an average fight day, and barely even uses his jiujitsu credentials aggressively in 85% of his fights. That’s genuinely unbelievable to me.
