Does anyone know what the $500 items are?

[killawookie]

I've won 2 prizes so far. One was the Bose headphones and the other was a Baseball mitt. Shipping on both items was incredibly fast. Definitely less than a week... it felt like around 3 days actually. The Bose headphones are nice but they don't fit in my ear as well as my other headphones. I still like them but I wouldn't pay $100 for them.

I got my headphone, went to target and traded them in equally for a pair of Beats.. they are AWESOME. Working on getting the 10 streak now after I lost my last streak at 6

Target let you trade them in without a receipt?

I just talked to the live help. I took the $100 FP at 5 wins. Im at 8 wins now, and was just told that if I reach 10 wins I will recieve that $500 prize or FP. Everyone in this thread has been saying otherwise. Did everyone talk to live chat?

Yes my fifth win was before the 50 dollar 5 win prize structure.

[Gonz312]

Ive gotten 2 streaks of 5 and one of 10 since this started....longest streak at dsi has been 6 and thats been around forever. I think 5dimes is gonna regret having all games available unlike the other place that are bitches when it comes to what games you can play. I can see alot more people winning with this setup...hell they already lowered the prizes once

They actually significantly raised all the prizes apart from the 5 streak.

I'd prefer losing 50 bucks from the 5 streak to add $250 to the the 10 streak and $1500 to the 20 streak.

Surprised you don't see it the same way considering how well you are doing at it.

Oh Im not down on the prize structure at all, I just dont see 5dimes sticking to it for long especially at the 5/10 game level. Dsi only gives $25 at that level and they severely limit the games/lines that are available. $100 at first was extremely generous, and even $500 at 10 wins is much higher than youll find in streak contests anywhere else. Pretty much the only part of the structure that you could say Im disappointed with is $5000 at 25 which seems kinda weak for how hard it is to reach if anyone actually gets there. My remarks were more about the sustainability of the 5/10 rewards

[Optional]

I don't really expect to hit 25, but think we probably have 3 or 4 times better chance at 5D than DSI, for the reason you said, so the prizes are kind of comparable.

Only 1 person has hit 15 and 21 people have hit 10 in the month or so its been running. Not sure about 5 streaks but dont think they'll go broke paying out any of the others. Even 10s.

[dbnmln]

Interesting contest indeed! I haven't really seen any others out there like it. Must be a good year for 5dimes.

[drfunkmaster]

i cant get past the 5th pick.. 3 times i get to 4. and cant get te 5th. next time i get to 5th pick.. i am gonna just fade my 5th pick.

[2candle]

When you hit your streak of 5, how soon do you receive the email from 5Dimes with the prize options? Thank you.

[shaunovery]

You have to wait till you're current streak ends

[Mousey]

You have to wait till you're current streak ends

i got the email for the $50 prize one day after winning my fifth; however, my streak was still going. did they send it too soon?

I lost on my 8th last night.

so if I win 10 in a row, do I win the $50 and the $500?

[Optional]

I got an email next day after hitting 5 too.

But lost the 6th so not 100% sure about the have to end the streak first thing.

[swordsandtequila]

Incorrect. Received mine the next day, streak was still active (lost at 9).

My streak is still alive and for my 6th pick I'm taking the Reds+1.5 this afternoon, and putting a few dollars on the Brewers-1.5


This contest works exactly as advertised as long as you make a wager in the sportsbook on Day 1 of your streak, all of your account information is up-to-date, and you abide by the one entry per household rule.

[cruzing vato]

Can u win twice? I already hit 5 in a row once for the $50 FP. Too easy!

[2candle]

Yes, I think you can win multiple times. Nothing in the rules that states otherwise.

[cruzing vato]

OK thanks candle! Let's punish the book for being so nice haha :-)

[amolg24]

Anyone find it confusing in the betting contest for today that in the Sox/Jays game the Jays are -1.5 and in the Giants/Phillies game the Phillies are -1.5? How does this make sense when the Athletics are also -1.5?

[swordsandtequila]

BB lines (for contest) are always -1.5 when picks first posted. Wait a while, most will be -1.

[2candle]

My 5th winning pick was Tuesday and I received the iPod Shuffle on Saturday. Very impressed with 5Dimes.

[cruzing vato]

This contest is great! Anyone know how long it will run? Thanks.

[Ballerholic]

Just wondering, how little do you have to bet to continue with the contest. I understand the lowest bet 5dimes takes is a bet to win at least 50 cents, does that mean I can just wager 50 cents a game, 1 a day even, and still play the contest?

Betting Contest Terms and Conditions
In order to receive a Betting Contest Prize, you must have Sportsbook activity within 24 hours of placing the first winning selection of your Betting Streak. "Sportsbook activity" refers to at least one real money wager being posted no more than 24 hours before or after the selecting the first winning pick of your Betting Streak. The first winning selection of every new Betting Streak has the 24 hour rule from the post time of the pick. Real money wagers can be placed in Sportsbook Main or Live Betting Extra.

You only have to make "one real mone wager" 24 hours "before or after the selecting the first winning pick of your Betting Streak". So, after the first winning pick, you don't have to make a real money wager to continue your streak.

So nobody knows when it ends? If it ends August 1 or something why bother?

It does not say. It's better to ask their customer service.
