does betting team totals get limited faster than full game spreads

Been sticking to team totals for a couple of seasons because the pricing is a little softer for the lesser-known leagues, but I’ve heard a few people warn it can get you limited faster compared to just betting the full game lines. I don’t touch crazy stuff - mostly regular sides and totals, all straight bets, but sometimes it feels like the book eyes these markets more if you show you know where the edges are. I’m not a pro or anything, but I try to be steady and not set off alarms with weird bet sizes or anything like that.

Anyone actually seen firsthand where books start throttling your team total bets but leave you alone on spreads and moneylines? Trying to decide if it’s smarter to mix things up more, or if that’s just gambling forum paranoia. Would like to stay under the radar but also don’t want to keep bouncing around markets just for the sake of it. What’s been your experience?

Same experience? I’ve seen limits vary way more between books than between spreads and totals.

Maybe, but team totals in soft leagues get flagged faster in my book.

Nah the big tell for me was closing line, jenni. If you keep beating close by a mile, some books get twitchy no matter what tab you clicked lol that’s been way louder than spreads vs team totals for me

Yeah, I’ve seen it, not even as some dramatic account limit thing, just the annoying slow-walk version. Team totals would suddenly sit on bet confirmation for 4-5 seconds, then either come back worse or get the cute “odds changed” slap, meanwhile spread goes right through. That’s the tell to me. Had it happen on midweek CBB, three times in one night, drove me nuts. Same greasy feeling as Live Dealer when the shoe “pauses” at the perfect time, you know what they’re doing!!!

Yeah, team totals get clipped first in my experience. Softer niche markets get treated more like slots promos than spreads
