Limiting those who stand a chance of pulling off the type of big wins they advertise heavily on television is rigging the market. It's manipulation, pure and simple. What they're selling is a bullshit dream that if you ever come close to they will bar you. This type of activity is the definition of predatory. It's straight up rigging.

It’s not rigging. If you place a bet and it wins, they will pay you. It would only be rigged if a bookmaker decided whether or not to take your bet after the event.
