5 Dimes- Thumbs Down

SBR_John · 08-22-06, 09:57 PM

Yea, we have received a stack of complaints today on the new web site.

Football is just a couple of weeks away. But let's see what they can do in the time they have before even considering a downgrade. They have been all class for many years and have earned a little rope.

even worse than their last layout?...oh boy...

Ila · 08-23-06, 01:58 AM

What is the worst for me is that this new layout seems to have actually influenced their soccer lines in a very bad way. They were a top soccer book for me. Now that their famous +1/2, -1/2 low margin spreads are gone they're just like everyone else. Going back to the previous soft would be a blessing.

Thanks for your imput Ila and welcome to SBR.

Does anybody know why the did this upgrade?

It appears the whole platform is changed from Cold Fusion to ASP based system. It also appears that they have released a very very raw version. There is no possibility to see the prices as decimals, which they had in the old version. The whole bonus/rewards system is changed and they need to transfer pending bonuses manually on request. The rollover requirements will change but they do not know how yet. The look and feel of the page is "engineeristic" to say the least. You could also say ugly and unprofessional. Also, it does not seem that they added anything with the new system. Euros are still not supported and the system logs you of faster than you can keep hitting the refresh button.

I would hate to be their cs rep right now, trying to explain all the stuff to confused users.

5Dimes, if you reads this, hire me and I'll do a FEW changes. I know my asp/aspx and I have first hand experience of what should be changed on your system.

Great, they don't even process payouts. I put in a request on early Monday morning and they just said its gonna take a few days because of this "upgrade". And yes, it's actually worse than the old layout.

jjgold · 08-23-06, 06:21 AM

What an idiot running this book, very few will play there anymore with this layout.

Just copy Pinnacle software you fukkin jerkoffs!!!!

daystrom · 08-23-06, 09:19 AM

Their banner takes up half the screen and obviously someone with room temperature IQ set up the old/new act numbner example on the page.

New Login Example
Old:170123AB
New:5D1701234

So 4 = A?

Hareeba! · 08-23-06, 10:47 PM

I agree with the negative comments already posted on this upgrade, but by far the worst aspect is that the system now doesn't reset your betting limit after a change in the odds.

Previously I was able to bet on tennis challengers to a limit of $250 which would generally move the odds and if still within my range I could bet upto another $250 and so on.

But no longer!!

Cost me a considerable sum yesterday on US Open qualifications matches

My principle other gripe is the lack of decimal odds. Having to convert some of those dreadful US style odds-on quotes is a pain in the arse.

Prior to this upgrade their software had a 20th century look.
I know there was no software around in the 19th century but they've made a fair attempt at it!

pags11 · 08-24-06, 02:06 AM

they did this "upgrade" because of all of the complaints they got about their old layout, and now it's worse...that's funny...

RickySteve · 08-24-06, 05:34 AM

I despise 5Dimes and take great personal satisfaction in reading this thread.

jjgold · 08-24-06, 06:18 AM

Its is just a book with very bad management that continues to always make the wrong decisons. We will not play there anymore. Safe book to get paid and lots of bet offers but I will go elsewhere than sum cheap looking website that is very hard on the eyes.

LOL. JJ always has something to get me laughing. I'm wondering who "we" is referring to. There's another poster on here "Blister" who starts every sentence with "Blister thinks etc.

jjgold · 08-24-06, 10:28 AM

Roller........we is my group of bettors and friends. We do basically everything together except shower and sometimes even that if times are tough and space limited.

Roller follow us

rolemand · 08-24-06, 10:38 AM

Ok thanks for clarifying. I figured it was something like that except for the showering part.

You're being sarcastic. You love 5Dimes and they take good care of you!

I haven´t played there for a while, but there was a possibility to switch to Euro odds... No more after the upgrade?

Yeah, Heidi's a good girl. Ever since she started working for 5Dimes, they've been my favorite book.

Heidi tossed my salad..

Their CS is the rudest and most incompetent pack of idiots I've ever had the misery of dealing with. Tony the GM is easily among the top five biggest douchebags I've met.

I do love a lot of their lines and the bonuses are very underrated and valuable.

That's correct Lucas, but they have told me that they will add that feature soon. I wouldn't be holding my breath for it though as I'm sure they have greater problems to iron out first.

Just another example of Americans acting as though they are the centre (note spelling!) of the universe and the rest of the World just doesn't matter?

I think that's more of a 5Dimes thing than an American thing, because to 5Dimes nobody else in the world does matter. If 95% of their players came from the EU, I'm sure the case would be different.

Hmmm, maybe isetcap but Pinnacle don't provide Wager Order Form unless you select US style odds; I've wasted the best part of an hour in Live Chat with Neteller before it dawned on the operator that I could possibly be from elsewhere in the World; VIP and others send out terrific prize offers but fail to say that they only apply to US residents ... and on and on it goes .....

pags11 · 08-25-06, 03:27 AM

imgv,

I'm not real convinced that 5 dimes is a great book, bro...

daystrom · 08-25-06, 09:12 AM

I see they corrected the cryptographic account number example on their home page.

Now if they could only do something about the 5Dimes banner taking up half my screen when I log in.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLY ANNOYING to have half your page taken up with a stupid banner showing the 5 Dimes header.

Hey nitwits, I KNOW I'm using 5 Dimes. That's why I logged on.

daystrom · 08-25-06, 09:13 AM

Just copy Pinny's site and you can't go wrong.

Again, it's not because the Americans are against you, it's because the books about which you are speaking happen to cater primarily to the American audience even if they don't directly state that as the case.

jjgold · 08-25-06, 03:11 PM

5 Dimes getting hammered like I have never seen with the software change. Its the talk of the forums.

comes down to the same thing isetcap, they can only think America .... did you see that the Olympic swimmers have had their world turned upside down? .... have to swim heats at night and finals in the morning at Beijing ... why? ... because the Yanks want it that way
