    I was really surprised to get anything from 5D. I have never taken a bonus there. I just have reduced juice lines. I asked for a bonus back during NFL and they said no, so I started playing at a few other books when I had local problems (he died owing me money). All the other books were pretty much = to each other, but no one offered the same options and reduced juice that 5D did.

    Also, people complain about 5D customer service, but I have never had a complaint about the CS there. They were always tight, but always fair as well. I did have one conversation with Tony. It was short and to the point and he was fair with me too. I did write them a long note that I think I posted here. It was something to the tune of if they treated their players better they would probably have the market cornered. They had a great book, but so many horror story's of abuse. If they just treated their customers with more "vegas like style" they would have no competition. All I got was a thanks for your input email.

    My one major complaint with 5Dimes is the casino. It's crooked...but whats new with online casino's. I took the 5D casino for 11k. From the point I started cashing that out, I never won there again. I have never seen a dealer get as many 20's or draw out over and over like they did(not even the SBR casino is that bad). They definitely turned the doom switch on for me in their casino and got some of their money back before I came to my senses and had them turn off the casino for me.

    As far as the sportsbook goes I would rather play at 5Dimes than most online books. The options are pretty much unmatched. I think I am in the same boat as most when it comes to wagering online. I have my favorite sport that makes me $$$. I have hot and cold runs and probably down a little for my career.

    Anyway, I just wanted to post the info about the FP for others.

    Probably not.

    I have always thought that the best way was to bet big a few times then manage the winning like the rest of your bankroll.

    Either that or try and do some 2-3 team parlays and make as much return as possible of the free play $$.


    Fill me in with your thoughts Hareeba!

    I got a pretty hideous, free black baseball cap that says Bookmaker on it. So kinda the same deal. Except mine has basically no monetary value, and isn't really even a good ball cap.

    See you at the bash, brother!

    I have had some work issues come up, but I am going to be there if at all possible. ****, I already have my plane ticket!

    Looking forward to seeing you and everybody there.

    I still think SBR should arrange a field trip/stop at 5Dimes for a meet and greet with Tony. Make it happen Opie!

    Never gotten a free play but I have had great experiences with 5Dimes.

    I agree about the casino though. Very hard to win, but maybe that is just the way Blackjack is. I won $1500 in the book last night and dropped $400 really quick in the live dealer casino. Stay out of that place, lol

    Fukk 5 Dimes, BetJam gives you a freeplay for every 100 bets you make and its the avg of your play. I just cashed in $240 FP for 2 months worth of bets.

    I hear good things about 5Dimes from an industry friend, but all I read about them is bad stuff here. I dont know what to think.

    They're ok if you lose a lot, but expect to get limited real quick if you start winning.
