TheGreek vs 5Dimes

You usually wont get limited unless you are beating them pretty good whereas 5nickles will limit you in a month if you beat them for pennies.

Higher limits at the greek and you will be safe with both. You can do some line shopping which is good. I'd recommend giving it a try.

Greek is useless for baseball, 5Dimes is very good.

I like both but Greek is only superior in that their limits are higher, 5Dimes has many more options and usually better lines in every sport except NFL.

But with reduced lines at 5Dimes, I will always get better odds than the -110 that TheGreek has. Unless the line is better at TheGreek, seems like 5Dimes would always have the best odds.

You are correct. What it comes down to is security of your money, The Greek has been around longer and I would trust them with more money than I would trust 5Dimes.

I am currently a member of 5Dimes, and was thinking about opening an account with TheGreek as well. I read that you can place wagers over the phone with the Greed (minimum only has to be $5), you can fund your account with a credit card, and 24 hour payouts. However, TheGreek does not seem to have any reduced odds? And buying points ends up in more juice than on 5Dimes..so are there any other advantages of TheGreek?

You will be better served at BetJamaica which is The Greek's sister book for recreational players. The Greek serves bigger players charging more juice for the opportunity to get more money down.

I prefer the Greek...Linked to Betjm and Scottie from betjm is a really good guy from the States

Greek is better...a LOT.
Fvkk this newbie talk about 5dimes, i cannot hear it anymore.
They copy Pinny on ALL moves, so if you can play there or have a MB account, 5D will almost never have a better line. Greek on the other hand has its OWN opinion.

5Dimes is a joke compared to theGreek. Only 50$ bettors like 5D, but with that amount it doesn´t matter what book you pick anyway...

97% dont have to worry about getting limited I would say so odds are you should be fine and you should go with 5dimes and the reduced juice.

I'll have to check BetJamaica out...they offer reduced lines?
