When it comes to high limits and books that take all types of action, Pinnacle Sports still comes to mind. And in the US regulated market, Circa Sports is known for rarely cutting off educated players.
It's a niche market that few operators dare to enter. Such a business requires expertise. Those who lack this type of proficiency will be crushed like a bug in no time.
One of the newer entrants into the offshore field, Bet105, also claims to take all types of sharp action.
The company bills itself as one that promotes arbitrage betting for sharp bettors.
"Arbitrage" or "arbing" is a strategy where a bettor takes advantage of slightly different odds offered at various sportsbooks and places multiple bets on all possible outcomes of an event at each one to guarantee a profit regardless of the result.
Arbitrage opportunities take some skill in finding. Case in point, the 2025 NFL season would typically feature Jalen Tolbert reception props priced at -280 for Tolbert to have over 0.5 catches at one book and under that number at another, priced at +475.
With this scenario, the bettor could split stakes like this:
Bet $161.81 on Over 0.5 (-280)
Bet $38.19 on Under 0.5 (+475)
Total stake: $200.
If Tolbert recorded a catch, the payout would be $219.
If he records none, the payout would be $219.
Either way, the bettor is guaranteed to profit $19 (~9.5%).
Those seeking a generous welcome bonus would be better off going elsewhere. Bet105 offers a a free $50 on a $100 deposit. Not that such an offer isn't enticing to some.
Bet105 originally launched during the Covid worldwide pandemic in 2020 and boosted their business even further in 2024. The name is based on its reduced -105 juice offering.
By offering various cryptocurrency deposit and payout options, the platform emphasizes privacy and tends to allow new customer registrations with a limited amount of personal information required. Bet105 comes under the category of a cryptocasino or sportsbook as they do not offer credit card or similar transactions as an option.
"Bet105 is a good book from what I've experienced in the year or so that I've used it. MLB lines are usually better than most," writes Tanko at Bookmaker Review. Players on that forum claim that Bet105 does sometimes impose limits on live events.
MDK on TrustPilot claims they also imposed limits on ATP tennis matches last August.
"They claim they don’t limit players, but their limits on ATP matches are very low. In some cases, you can barely place a stake of $1K–$2K, and if you do, the odds drop significantly—especially at the opening lines.
"It’s a good book for small-stakes bettors, but for high stakes I’m not convinced. The odds shift too quickly, and while they present themselves as not limiting players, their ATP limits are as low as those of some soft books."
MLZ at BMR loves Bet105, though he suggests the website can use an overhaul perhaps.
"It is a must have out. the website is a resource hog and the log in gets jacked up a lot if you switch between desktop and phone... end up having to change password. But sizable limits, and they offer -103 on some NFL at post. Free play rebates based on action. It is a good solid book. I use it a lot. Low hockey limits, but between this book, the exchanges, and lowvig you can get your theoretical hold down pretty low across the board."
Others love the app.
Robert, a U.S. based player, writes:
"I really like the format of the app and how easy and clean it is to find anything and evrything I need to place any bet I need. I found it really simple to place wagers. I like how they were better odds then any other sites I know of also."
Bet105 tends to get plenty of love on Gambling Twitter as well, which cannot be a bad thing.
Redditor Inevitable_Sink_2568 relayed his experience arbing on Bet105.
"Been doing this for a couple of years now and have gotten limited on most of the usual suspects (DK, MGM, etc.). I've been using Pinnacle and Bookmaker for a while, but recently stumbled upon Bet105 and have been pleasantly surprised. Their limits are surprisingly high, and I haven't had any issues with getting my bets down. Payouts have been quick too. Has anyone else used them? Curious to hear other experiences."

"Offer reduced juice odds which gives us bettors better value compared to every other sportsbook. Crypto deposit and withdrawal are instant so easy to play on."
And discoskunk had this to offer:
"Bet105 has some of the best lines available, a very simple/intuitive UI, and super fast crypto (plus other options) deposit/withdrawal options - NO KYC!! Can't recommend this book enough!!"
