    5 DIMES BETTING CONTEST....Anyone see this? Reminds me of ESPN Streak for the $$

    Pretty awesome that 5 dimes would come out with this. There are prizes for each milestone of 5 straight winners. Any other books have anything like this??

    Log into 5 dimes and at the top is Sportsbook with a small down arrow next to it. Click that and "Betting Contest" appears.

    Hope this helps!

    top left, click sportsbook, it's on the dropdown

    http://www.5dimes.eu/inFrame.asp?pg=bContest


    I just made my first pick.

    It's pretty much the same as DSI/Bookmaker's streak game.

    Betting Streaks of 5 wins will be awarded a $100 Valued Item .

    Betting Streaks of 10 wins will be awarded a $250 Valued Item.

    Betting Streaks of 15 wins will be awarded a $500 Valued Item.

    Betting Streaks of 25 wins will be credited $2500 Cash Reward.

    Betting Contest Winner of the month will be credited a $1000 Free Play*.

    The Betting Streak Contest winner of the month will be determined by the player with the most consecutive winning selections at the end of a calendar month.

    Not that anyone out here airbets or anything haha but just thought id point it out that it clearly states in the rules that you need to make a real money wager either 24 hours before or after your first winning pick of the steak in order to be eligible for the prizes.

    Yeah this is awesome I was really surprised 5 dimes is being generous with the addition, but then again it should attract a lot of attention.

    they both have a provision that active means full prize, non-active means partial (10% DSI, 5% 5 Dimes). Difference is DSI I think will keep giving it to you, while 5 Dimes will only give a non-active prize once. Also, DSI just requires 100 in bets in the past 30 days.

    I think I first saw it yesterday but I never checked it out. I assumed it would be like office pools where you pay to enter.

    For anyone that bets at 5 Dimes every day, this is a great chance at some freeplays or whatever.

    When did they star this contest? Can you make more than 1 pick a day? Wonder what the rollover is.

    You can only make one pick per day. Also, the contest doesn't start to count until June 1, 2014.

    it allowed picks today.

    The monthly perhaps doesn't start until June, but for the streak part, I think it's already started.

    And today wasn't the first day. I think it started Sunday or Monday.

    That's what I mean. If it started Sunday how can some people already have 7 wins?

    Maybe they are just testing it out.

    No. Just have to place bets like usual.

    So if you don't have money there, deposit a few hundred and make small plays each day.

    what exactly is a "$100 valued item?" a freeplay?

    Whatever item they have or you can trade it in for $100 freeplay, where you would need to win a bet to get the money

    so a 10 team parlay only win $250? Better off throwing away $5 on a 10 team open parlay.

    this is free, keep throwing $5 on 10 team parlays and you'll probably be out a few hundred by the end of the year.

    I don't see how you can complain, they're not charging you to pick.

    exactly no complining is warranted, it's a freebie perk for active players.

    they do most everything better than bookmaker. including this contest. great for both book and customers.

    Eligible accounts will have the corresponding prizes applied within 24 hours of grading the daily picks with no rollover or wagering requirements attached.

    no rollover - better win levels -

    Still no one has said how much you have to bet +/- 24 hours to the streak start. $100? Lesser of risk or win? Minimum odds for these qualifying bets? You'd think they'd have written it down instead of making the players ask cs, who will probably be giving out several different answers.

    if there was a minimum, it would've been said

    any bet qualifies according to the rules.

    Pretty nice deal, $100 freeplay for 5, I could see them modifying this in the near future if too many people win those.
