    They're a new book and have some risk management buffers in place. I'm sure these will be scaled back as the book becomes more established. It just shows good financial responsibility on the book's part as they start out. 5Dimes is tops without question, but no need to call out BetIslands here. They are a solid out and pay lighting quick with the best CS I've ever experienced at a book in my 15 years of playing. I have been more than satisfied with Jon and his team's efforts thus far.

    BetIslands golf odds suck, and wont add any players on request... they just tell you to bet the field, which is their nice way of saying fukk off.

    Saving money but not adding ML on anything over -9? I don't understand that.

    I was on the Greek and they would offer ML on all but the MOST lopsided and I never had a losing season with them (thanks to all the free money).

    I got switched to Heritage and they aren't quite so generous with their moneyline offerings. Rarely have anything over -1000 unless it's an NFL game.

    Looking forward to switching to 5dimes.

    tell that to the guys who get a withdraw in 30 minutes or a free half a point. often times 5d automatically adds the half a point and it certainly is not free.

    they definitely need more betting options, dont get me wrong- but it is a good book. (just maybe not for 12-team parlays)

    Ever since I had a book not pay me, I have always preferred the CC option.

    If you send P2P and they never give you your money, you are out of your deposit and your winnings.

    If you deposit CC and they never give you your money, you are only out your winnings.

    im a little slow today but can you please briefly explain why you wouldnt lose your deposit from a CC deposit? i would think no matter how you deposited, if you build it up and get stiffed then you are victimized the same.

    (all of these A and B rated SBR books pay)

    I'd rather not discuss it on the boards, but I deposited with a book, doubled my deposit, and they refused to pay, so I got half of the stolen amount back.
