Have you tried 5 Dimes?

For lines?
I prefer bet365 because they are a 1 stop shop.
At the end of the day all my wagers go through a " local" so he can offer whatever price he wants.
I don't see him playing too many games with the numbers just because I sometimes bet favorite sometimes bet dogs
I do have to get out of the habit of betting too many overs ...
that part is predictableComment -
Tease the overs.
I meant, why don't use 5Dimes & bypass the local?Comment -
I guess because I'm old and set in my ways.
I've been using this guy for over 20 years and some of that time is when I was employed by an entity that I didn't wish to make a gambling paper trail.
Now I live outside the restraints of the United States but still if an offshore wants to rip you off, you have little control. ( 5 Dimes big enough I think that unlikely )
I guess my thing would be why switch up?
I don't play basketball at all where numbers vary some and a point or 2 can be hugh.
I play lightly on NCAA and not much NFL where most of the time numbers are pretty sound and most -110 (except in plays or props...and I'm looking at numbers too )
Hockey is my sport....I learned that after losing probably easily 250,000 or more over 15 years betting baseball and crap on whims rather than handicapping.
Now that I'm retired, I have time to do research and watch games so I can be better positioned to handicap and also do in play wagers seeing how the game is going on....
sometimes just the black and white stats don't tell you the information your eyes do while watching a gameComment -
Tampa Bay with 2 (!!!) shots on goal in the first period.
Seems like they don't really have much intention to win the game. Taking Buffalo Sabres ML live now. GL.Comment -
finally Tampa scores....hockey with no goals =
Comment -
And Buffalo ties it up. This team is getting better and better with every game. And they are always huge huge underdogs. Might even take them to win in Tampa Bay in the upcoming game.Comment -
The team I've bet on has lost the last 5 shootouts...
finish it before then tampa!!
And yeah, Buffalo has been improving. Don't think they are guaranteed fade material anymore.Comment -
not again!!! come on tampa!!Comment -
It's amazing how many people keep taking road chalk at -170 or higher and either playing PLs, regulation or -1 alternate lines and keep getting burned.... and yet keep doing it over and over again.Comment -
I'm mostly a parlay/live betting bettor, these are my favorite kinds of lines. Didn't get the win this time but that's ok. It's the recent shootout record that isn't ok, I'm not even joking when I say I've lost the last 6.
Comment -
Someone explain how Sharks are -180?Comment -
And Buffalo cashes again. They will have a winning record very very soon. Gonna take them tomorrow again. Hopefully people will chase their lost Tampa Bay plays so I get an even better line.Comment -
Everyone gets hit with those times where they couldn't pick Secretariat out of a donkey herd.
Just hope it changes around and when it does you hit 10 in a rowComment -
I like when no fighting in the thread......
Its when you see the good info by allComment -
Now that you have a following; why don't you start your own thread. If you keep giving your winners over in rockets thread, than people will associate these winners with rocket. Won't matter that they will come from you. Myself, I like credit for my own winners. That is why I have my own thread. Just one mans opinion.Comment -
Hey rocket do we take Anaheim tonight? Phily had their chance to win but lost in the last second. So they will be b2b while Anaheim is well rested. Don't see them losing to the flyers although crazier things have happened. I'm thinking Anaheim in regulation and tt over here...Comment -
I guess that's where we are different.
I don't need to be recognized as the one giving out winners.
If I had that self absorbed need for adulation, I would have started my own thread last year's for playoffs and this year for hockey.
But this thread exists where Rocket graciously welcomed all opinions from guys who had at least 100 plays.
This allows any hockey followers to just bookmark 1 thread and not have to bookmark many.
At the end of the day, posters Im sure handicap their own games and then just use info here, whether my picks, Rockets, yours, Allurre's Dollars donuts etc just as and additional handicapping tool.Comment -

I can't disagree with that in theory or in principal but, it appears that all you have effectively done is anger posters & apparently ran off the OP. I think the earlier suggestion was meant to help you understand that if you started your own thread, you could run it the way you wanted & perhaps have greater control over how the thread is run.
I suppose you could start your own thread while continuing to reek havoc in other threads but, I still have to agree that it was a valid suggestion.
And when I asked about 5dimes, I was questioning whether it wouldn't be easier to get some of the trolls off of your back if you just deposited once & posted a screen shot of your wager. Because I am sure that (whether you care or not) 90% of the forum that reads your posts, do not believe that you wager real money. I am sure they think you are an airbettor.
As is the case with 90% of posters who say they always use a local.
When I learned that you are in Belize more than you are in the US, I was even more puzzled as to why you've grown comfortable using a local for 20 years. I am a little younger than you but have been gambling for many more years & I have never used a local. Different Strokes, I guess.Comment -
i too use a local. I don't need adulation because i received that from my job for 30 years. Also from a few black ministers for donating on thanksgiving and xmas.You came in here to spew nonsense and garbage. You are the type of guy that run your mouth on internet. But when caught up with; use the word sue alot. It is a shame that the mods don't keep you out of this thread. There are 2 types of badges wearers. The ones who grew up in it that also played sports. The other is the punks that were picked on in high school who wanted to get back. I am friends with about 25 of the former and 3 of the latter. I have a belief that you are in the latter category. I have 3 friends that are feebees and they would never admit it. If we didn't go to college; I wouldn't know it. If you had any decency you would stay the penetrate out of here. But you are one of those dumb mfers that wait til someone catches them and beats the shit out of them.You are a racist. Everytime I see the pic of the body in the street it makes me want to see what you would look like laying in the street. As someone that has friends and family that were killed it pisses me off !Last edited by chico2663; 12-03-14, 12:20 PM.Comment -
if you ever watched the first 48; i know 5 of those kids even going so far to buying toys for them or their kids.Comment -
it is currently 1 of the avatars that people hate even more than mine!Comment -
difference is, I think my avatar is fitting. It is a true reflection of how I feel every morning when I wake up and look at my sportsbook balance.Comment -
who the hell is your avatar ? michael irvin after a rough night of coke and strippers?Comment -
The local is a business relationship I trust and any money transferred between us is outside prying eyes.
If the US got is snooping into income earned from offshores, old Uncle Sam can still come after me for taxes.
I live in Belize but have not renounced citizenship and my pension is still paid by the USA and I still have to file taxes through the USAComment -
I'll throw in my 2 cents.
Philadelphia has played five back to back games so far this year .
October 9th they lost 6-4 at home against New Jersey
October 22nd they won 5-3 at Pittsburgh
November 15th they lost 6 -3 at Montreal
November 20th they lost 3 - 2 at Minnesota
most recently on the 29th they lost 5 - 2 in New York
Emery was in goal for all of those games except on the 9th against New Jersey
Mason played the last night so I think Emery will be in goal tonight.
If you play Ducks ML, I recommend a parlay with the over.
Get the -200 vig in a Parlay with over5.5 -110....pays $186.36
I'm currently seeing the over at +money so maybe even get 2-1 return on parlay.
If you have option to move the o/u to 6 for bigger payout, you can get -200/+120...that pays 2.3 to 1.....and if game lands on exactly 6....it reduces to where your regular -200 wager would pay.
Many of these -200 games have been going to OT so reducing liability by going with regulation bet may not cash
Let me break down the Flyers game 2s some and maybe intrigue you with some prop bets that may pay off
1) Looking at the game scores, all but 1 the games went over
2) In all the games, Philly's opponent TT went over
3) in ALL GAMES Philly's opponent scored first
Jersey-scored 1st AFTER 10 min mark
Pens scored 1st at 3 min mark
Habs scored 1st at 647
Wild scored 1st AFTER 10 minutes ( 10 min mark in 2ND )
Rangers scored 1st @2:50
4) 3 of the 5 there was a goal within the first 10 minutes ( @ around -130 risk you would be in black....+300 / -260 )
5) in three of the five games the 1st period went over
Jersey- 1 goal 1st
Pens - 3 goal 1st
Habs - 2 goal 1st
Wild - 0 goal 1st
Rangers - 2 goal 1st
here is what I'm going to be betting
Ducks to score first -150
first goal under 10 minutes -130
1st period over 1.5 -110
game over 5.5 +105
Game over 6 +120
Ducks race to 3 -160
Ducks team total over 3.5 +115
Some high vig wagers out there....but if you feel Ducks are the side, I think worth the risk.....just stagger wagers some
good luck with your betsComment -
poor guy misses seaweed.Comment -
Just trying to help while Rocket is AWOL
He maybe taking me up on my offer and is flying into Maryland to meet me ( but I need his flight info so I can meet him at baggage claim with my Rangers jersey on so he will recognize me )
BUT
I think it is more likely mommy took away his internet privileges
Comment -
good luck everyone with their wagers
I'll check back later and hopefully everybody is having a winning night

I see the 55 year old pederast goes nuts when I don't post
Hey Pedo, you're right about this being a hockey thread where I welcome everyone's input...everyone's but yours dumbfukk.
I'm not sure how else I need to explain to your sorry no life lying and airbetting piece of shit face that you're not welcome here.
Maybe you haven't noticed, but not a single person on this board gives two fukks about what you have to say about anything. I understand that you're lonely, have no family to fall back on and this board is all you got in life --- trust me I get that. But do all of us a favor and vacate this thread. Start your own thread and see where it takes your sorry ass.
Thanks buddy!Comment
