thats it!

guess that little button is a mute or something...mine was pushed to the side and red color was showing, and now i think i have sound again!

[shaunovery]

Yeah it's a mute button sometimes just getting your phone out of your pocket can switch that button

Thanks mate

Just go to figure out how to use the 2k free play

can u bet both sides of a game and just guarntee 1000 or so pts?

just my 2 cents, but thats what i would don if u can?

if not that way, id just pick 2 games 1000 each and hope 1 wins, and maybe both

[shaunovery]

Not sure if I can pick 3 games and do 8 parlays for 250 points to guarantee 1600

[DDT]

Did anyone see this?

You can, but why? You want to bet sports most days.

Does that mean you'll be sitting in a corporate box at Fort Worth mate?!?

[shaunovery]

Yeah opti but if you have 20x 100 point bets even if you hit 10 you're only going to get 950 back

Yisman is the expert on making best use of these math wise, if he'll chime in. But imho you don't play -odds bets with freeplays. Parlay what you like for +odds only.

[shaunovery]

Just trying to build enough to buy some legends sports book cash

[shaunovery]

Got 2k in 5d already so don't need to reload there before NASCAR starts

Unfortunately, they are only a partial sponsor and Texas isn't on their list of races

im too stupid/excited...i wish i could talk myself into around that amount to start the 1st week with...going to TRY and not go too crazy with my ususal big wagers overall for each of the 1st few races, then adjust accoringly but cant promise anything

after i paid most all my bills for this coming year, i try and stick to a plan but we will see..last few years ive been very smart with how i divide all profits after season and for coming 1st few months of every new season..its a huge help

probably wont make my inital nascar season deposits til next week im guessing....i still have some decisions to make and on books fall back on....just cant see them letting me crush them consistantly again for the amount i did last season, plus im still on delay thing too for all bets...so just going to do some research and have at least 1 other book on standby...Trident has some good ideas for me in this area

but HOPEFULLY dimes lets me keep going, cause no book is close to them for U.S. players when it comes to nascar...i have my fingers crossed

[shaunovery]

the only problem for American players is having Taft 2nd good book who does NASCAR

Here I gave a few bet365 paddy power William hill all take each way 1st 4

So ill use 5d for my main win and matchups and the rest for my each way bets

ive never needed any book for nascar but 5dimes...just always best for openrs and closer usually

but just in case they boot/ or limit me too low ill need to start 1/2ing my bets between 2 books this season, or have to move to 1-2 diff...but really hope not, but just cant see them just keep going...actually unbelievable they let me get thru last summer alone without booting me right out the door

i will be researching and asking alot of questions b4 i ever would use another book though...lets hope i can stay put...

[5mike5]

but also the way they starting dropping the odds every single time i made any wagers, they might benefit somehow overall is only reason we could come up with them letting me stay even 1/2 of last season...who knows just have to wait it out and see what happens and pray i can stay there

[Optional]

From the ones I tracked for a while last year, I'd say;

BetUSA is the closest you will get to a 5D alternative, that puts up odds early in week. Think they just offer win and H2H though. They pretty much mirror LVH Vegas openers and put them up on Monday. Which I always thought was a nice feature.

Bovada was always late and unreliable when they put up odds. But had similar lowish vig as BetUSA

Bookmaker and Interops had high vig and rarely competitve odds on anyone.

I forget the name of the books Hawk uses. maybe PM him for advice too?

[5mike5]

for now im not going to even worry about another book unless 5dimes doesnt want me anymore, ezxceot maybe 1 backup and not sure yet i would even load it to start season...im not playing at any book i have to wait weeks/months for payouts, or that doesnt offer me P2P..not saying any of those books do that, just a comment...i only leave certain # of my money ill just let sit offshore, or enough for me to make my bets for a few weeks of races.. to me, i like it in my possession asap, and dont mind paying some fees to get it there either

**but like we dicussed last season, there was a reason they let me stay there, so hopefully it might stay the same for this whole season...not sure what it was, but it was something or no way in hell they let me run them up like i did..even though they did eventually delay me toward to end there

[Optional]

Yeah I understand fully. Be nice if you don't have to bother. But don't bury your head in the sand either. If 5D do limit you too much, or shut you down. You won't have time to make careful assessments then. You will be stuck with risking thousands with some new book all at once just to try them out then. Or cutting way back. Right now you can see who you like with $500 and see who pays out in what time and how etc. No harm in having a plan B.

Paddypower is IMO the best book for NASCAR win bets.

Here's some examples from last year.

Sonoma: PP had Bowyer at 33-1 after he qualified 6th and had one of the fastest cars in practice
Fall Loudon: Hamlin 7-1, he had clearly the fastest car, other books had him at 4-1 despite qualifying 32nd
Fall 'dega: Kenseth 18-1, he had the best cars in all previous plate races

The best bet I made last year was at 5dimes. They had Brian Vickers 1500-1 at Sonoma, he had a great car and could've won but I belive he had a pass through penalty.

[shaunovery]

Think we need starting to think about our contests

Punters club
Cd contest
Opti weekly matchups game
