Incorrect.

Most of these type gadget bet props and futures have like $50 limits, a few still with one or two or three dollar limits($100,$200,$300), be they Vegas or Offshore, taking a nickel($500) rare nowadays.

Almost unheard of in today's market can you bet a dime($1000)or two on a prop/future wager at one store, these usually being games with ATS betting lines. There just isn't enough action in this kind of market to accept larger wagers(they imbalance the BM's take), even with the heavily shaded/undervalued true odds pricing. These markets are built largely for vacationing Cub fans to donate $50 to a Franklin on a WS pipe dream..thus max betting limits are to scale.

In many ways you can't bet as much in one-stop-shopping in today's 2010's betting market, than you could back in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s. When NYC's Jigsaw,etc..and LV's Gene Mayday took huge wagers that Cantor, Harrahs, Caesars, MGM, Stations,etc..wouldn't dream of. Today, you have to piece-meal wager, especially in terms of props/futures, to get down large coin.

Mostly only mid-level wiseguys on down to young aspiring sharps bother to even shop these type wagers. The largest and sharpest whales are focused on big game hunting where the biggest limits are involved, their focus isn't on these type wagers.

Some outfits like invitation only Grande(credit shop), off radar stores, etc..offer higher limits based to some player's betting scale, or if you have a great relationship with an book owner and/or manager, but it's not the norm.

That Sportsbook.ag Mich HC wagering that RJ Bell is twittering, is probably just some booster's kid and his friends.
