    Do 5Dimes taking shots ?

    I play mostly on 5dimes and Pinnacle. Over the last few weeks of using 5dimes some of there lines tend to be wrong MILES WRONG. But then I read stories of Tony and co of booting people who bet on these.

    So I decided to tell there live chat yet the lines do be still up for a long time after.

    There is no overall benefit in a book purposely leaving bad lines up. Particularly 5Dimes who say they have a no tolerance policy for people betting bad lines. The bad PR and loss of customers would cost them more than any perceived benefit in trying to freeroll people.

    It's just a busy book that covers a lot of sport and local staff make errors here and there.

    The live betting is controlled by a third party. Errors in that are out of their control.

    If they (and every offshore) could get access to a better quality live betting solution ala Bet365, they would give it to us. Demand is there so I think we will see improvements in the future at least.

    Of course it is on purpose...I have 4 books and 5dimes is the only one with lots of bad lines. If Tony actually had to pay these bad lines....you think there would be as many? Hell no....why books that pay bad lines rarely have any. Guy has nothing to lose.

    And you are right to avoid them...but under his rules he can conceivably say every line in his shop is bad and never pay any bets....best to just avoid unless you want to play crazy teasers or womens bball.
