Well, my 5Dimes sports cash request was confirmed and as I was awaiting the cash enter my 5dimes account it was cancelled by SBR for "not having registered thru the promo code when signing up" even though I did and have gotten sports cash there before. I don't think it's a coincidence, I guess SBR are trying to save me from losing money?

**mikmik** · 04-02-16, 11:00 AM

What book should I use

**smoke a bowl** · 04-02-16, 11:01 AM

Yes but I don't think it's a big deal.

**smoke a bowl** · 04-02-16, 11:03 AM

Well it's a big deal but I don't think anything will come of it.

how do you get sports cash from sbr?

do you have to be outside the US ?

i remember when they used to do that

**mikmik** · 04-02-16, 11:26 AM

Can someone answer my question about what book I should use

Depends on what's important to you.

Easy deposit and cash out

I can't help much there. I don't post up. If I can't get credit I don't play. I think 5 dimes and Heritage fit that criteria but not sure.

This goes for all books, not just 5D

But to lose them as an out hurts, even with limits

this would hurt me too... if that group becomes unavailable at some point, that would be far more damaging than the stiff amount

even at 100 limits on player props, someone can easily find 10/day worth betting, so that might be $40/day of +ev just on one thing

**TheMoneyShot** · 04-02-16, 02:28 PM

Not a spokesperson for 5D....

But... I really don't think there's anything to worry about. Business as usual.

Until more "accurate" data surfaces.

**milwaukee mike** · 04-02-16, 02:37 PM

5dimes is like the backstreet boys... unlike the rest of the fakers they might live forever

**Fitz030808** · 04-02-16, 03:20 PM

The point it is why risk it? People keep saying "business as usual." It is, until it isn't. Why risk it? Plenty of other options to play at while they sort all this out.

**drthethird** · 04-02-16, 05:02 PM

I'm using 5dimes. Besides BetJM and TheGreek, 5dimes has been my favorite book and I'm not bailing on them.

Plenty of options? Not if you live in USA and want low vig.

I never had an issue with a payout from 5D in over 5+ years. More than likely... will stick with them.

**Fitz030808** · 04-02-16, 07:45 PM

I understand the loyalty. I guess it comes down to how much are you willing to part with. If you don't care about the warning signs, it doesn't matter. Personally, I would be pissed at myself reading about what's going on and I didn't do anything about it. That's just my opinion though.

Have you tried Heritage or any of the CRIS family? You have options if you live in the US but nothing like Pinny.

very clever and well done

**dbartinbwgc** · 04-02-16, 08:49 PM

I dont think its anything to worry about either.
Like Black monday a few years back when the
government seized a bunch of .com sportsbooks
and some of their payment processors.
they keep so little money at them for just this reason its no big loss
unlike when they seized all the money from online poker payment processors
amazon must of noticed someone buying a ton of gift cards and flagged it
and government looked in to it and found it was from a sports book
Like JJ says business as usual,
you just are not getting to withdraw using amazon gift cards.

With Heritage right now. Usually do 5D and Heritage.

Always looking for better ways to move $ around. Looking at Nitrogen and a few others.

I mean if you had 10K at 5D... I'd try to take at least half out. I think that's a little too much at 1 book... especially if you use 2 to 3 books.

**Microphone** · 04-02-16, 10:20 PM

Good grief there's an Amazon problem. The U.S. isn't and can't drive to Costa Rica and arrest Tony. Getting money in and out of there and other books is tougher than it used to be. But this is hardly Bet Islands where Jon was giving bonuses to anyone who could breathe. Available cash, from this corner, shouldn't be a problem, despite the fact they're not listed at the top right in the "SBR Top-Rated Sportsbooks" section, still.

**nyplayer33** · 04-03-16, 12:19 AM

Didn't the USA freeze poker accounts in Ireland etc...heck full tilt wasn't even headquarter in USA and look at disaster.

**GunShard** · 04-03-16, 02:31 AM

Anyone that has sports futures bets on that site could get rekt since they cannot withdraw their money.

**Fitz030808** · 04-03-16, 07:11 AM

It all comes down to assessing risk. If you feel your money is at risk, take it out. Sounds like they're paying like clockwork over there. If you feel comfortable, not worry about it. They provide excellent MLB lines and reduced juice if you can still get it.

**nyplayer33** · 04-03-16, 07:38 AM

For me risk out ways reward...recent disasters have become worse

From what I heard the got their payment processors seized,
they only had a few and almost all their money at them, so it wipped out there funds.
from what i hear sports do it much smarter they have many and only keep a small balance with each
( in which even that total of all their processors is a small very small sum) and settle up on a weekly \
or as needed basis. so if one or a few get seized they lose a few % not all their money

This is the same story I have heard from a few people...5D has money spread all over the place, and little exposure to any single processor.

Just as has happened in the past...certain payment methods get banned, and the books evolve.

The sooner everyone (books & players) embraces Bitcoin as the main method of funding and withdrawing...the sooner we can make some solid advancements!

Why did they remove Neteller from list of deposit options?

Yeah, that is bad news. When i check my payout options I only have two options:

Account to account (ATA)
Cryptobitcoin

I do not have a bitcoin account/wallet/whatever.

When you deposit in a currency, you expect to get that currency back. Not Bitcoins, Zimbabwean dollars or anything else. And preferably you expect to get them back the same way you deposited. Lets hope this is temporary and that Neteller is back soon.

**Russian Rocket** · 04-04-16, 07:26 AM

yeah removing Neteller is not a good thing...they also used to have a Revolut card listed there not long time ago and now it's gone also.

I think both changes are permanent.

**theviking** · 04-04-16, 06:04 PM

Its not the first time 5dimes or other bookmakers have neteller temporary removed.

I bet my appendix that neteller will be back in 5dimes
