    Is 5 dimes a really an A+ book anymore?
    Any opinions on 5 dimes security and prompt payouts? I have been with bookmaker for years and never had any issues until this weekend when their CC processors were down. They also lowered their weekly withdraw limits to $5000 "temporarily". These two issues spooked me a little bit and I thought it may be prudent to spread my money around a little bit with other books as I don't want to get stuck if a book goes out of business in these times. I have read good things about Betonline but there has been some negative reviews with 5 dimes security and payouts lately.

    Any feedback would be appreciated...

      I'm a strong advocate of 5 Dimes.
      A+? Not anymore, I'd still rate it an A- though.

        i am not a huge fan of the interface nor do i like the delay in withdrawals. i tried to go the steps which let my degeneracy shine in losing winnings in the casino while waiting.

        still a solid option with many options to bet.

            I've used 5dimes for years the payouts are prompt.

            5dimes is not user friendly and the graphics and software are poor.

            They do pay when they lose.

                Cons: Betting interface sucks and the payout takes longer than most books.

                Pros: Usually better odds than most books and bigger selection of prop bets.

                I noticed their deposit via Bitcoin improved a bit. Once the system saw an unconfirmed transaction was pending on the blockchain, it gave a quoted price without the bs that the amount could still fluctuate if it's not confirmed in 15 minutes. I just wish they'd be more like BetOnline or Bovada where your account is credited once they see the transaction pending and see the fee is decent enough it'll go through and post sooner. I got credited after 2 confirmations.

                          Best feature is the dynamic lines

                          They are also probably only place with actual +EV games in the casino

                            Best there is when all the sports come back.

                            They are my one and only book because they require you to enter a password for each bet. Wife puts them in for me and has the password. Only way to control me NOT going all in

                              Limits are way too low, as is the case in most offshore books. They also arbitrarily lower your limit whenever they choose to. Like all offshore book, you have two chances of winning a dispute and slim just left town. You guys who claim to win thousands never give us the bottom line. How much overall have you LOST, because you sure as hell have not won caca. If you have, you would be in Vegas, wagering with no limits and living like REAL winners, not pretend winners.

                                Otters, your problem is that you are a hopeless loser. Your wagers are terrible. You cannot control yourself. I tip more than you wager, yet you consistently moan and groan about how much you lose. Having to have your wife control how much you wager is totally pathetic. You are a nice guy but a terrible example of a gambler. This may be a new low in guys who are MEOW whipped.

                                  If there was something better than A+, that’s what 5dimes would be.

                                      Better interface does not mean better graphics (where did I say more pictures?) it means more user friendly.
                                      You're right, why does 5Dimes make it so hard to make a wager? They add unnecessary steps in the process you have to repeat if you want to do multiple wagers.

                                      Why can't bet the board be like "Straight & RIF" but I can select more than 1 bet and decide whether the amounts are to risk or to win? I can at least do that with Bet Online and the other books. 5Dimes makes you go through so many unnecessary steps.

                                        Use the dynamic lines..... never thought I'd hear someone say 5dimes with "hard to make a wager" and "makes you go through so many unnecessary steps." It's literally two clicks to make a bet

                                          If you're betting one game and know what you want, sure. If you're making multiple bets in multiple categories or want to do a parlay or compare props, not as easy. Please show me how I can look at NFL lines and NFL props all on one page on dynamic lines if it's that easy. I can't look at both at the same time unless I'm using Bet the Board and that option won't let you select win/risk. Why can I do that with BOL but I can't do that on 5Dimes?

                                          If they fixed Bet the Board where you can select all of the bets you want at once, then be able to enter your bets as risk/win individually, it'd be much better. But instead, you gotta bet one then go back around.

                                            Ok so wouldn't it be easier then to bet them one by one using dynamic lines? Seems like it's at least the same amount of work there
                                            You can even do multiple bets at the same time using the same base amount by unchecking the "one click."

                                            If you're just looking at 2 different categories, then I don't really see what the issue is. Open up one tab with NFL games, open another tab or window with NFL props. Making multiple straight bets is simple described above. Then just do the same for NFL props

                                            I guess parlaying across multiple 5+ categories and being unable to see the risk/win is a bit annoying but I've never felt like that was much of a hindrance. If it is to you, then just use dynamic lines and go through the categories one by one and add the different legs and create parlay. Then you can see exactly the risk/win amount

                                              5dimes is my favourite. Amazing variety of bet types offered with good odds.

                                                You can even do multiple bets at the same time using the same base amount by unchecking the "one click."

                                                If you're just looking at 2 different categories, then I don't really see what the issue is. Open up one tab with NFL games, open another tab or window with NFL props. Making multiple straight bets is simple described above. Then just do the same for NFL props

                                                I guess parlaying across multiple 5+ categories and being unable to see the risk/win is a bit annoying but I've never felt like that was much of a hindrance. If it is to you, then just use dynamic lines and go through the categories one by one and add the different legs and create parlay. Then you can see exactly the risk/win amount
                                                You're making my point, why do I need to open multiple tabs/use dynamic lines to research legs when these are easy fixes they can do to make it much more seamless? I do not get why you and Lone are staunchly coming to 5Dimes defense like you work for them or own the book when I never said they were a bad book or to avoid them. I still use them, but their interface leaves much to be desired.

                                                      I agree with the 1st 3, then I would add bet365 and titanbet.

                                                          Yeah, those five are pretty much the only ones to consider funding.

                                                          DSI back in the day was very good too, then went straight down the toilet is trying to make a comeback.
                                                          I want to trust DSI again but its reputation from a few years ago makes me dismiss them.

                                                            I think they basically remain consistent

Like all offshore book, you have two chances of winning a dispute and slim just left town. You guys who claim to win thousands never give us the bottom line. How much overall have you LOST, because you sure as hell have not won caca. If you have, you would be in Vegas, wagering with no limits and living like REAL winners, not pretend winners.

                                                                Because I can't understand what your problem even is

                                                                I don't understand much about what it is you're doing in the first place. What is "researching legs?"

                                                                How many categories do you even need to look at concurrently? You've listed two so far, NFL games and NFL props. Let's say I have 5 NFL games I want to bet and 6 NFL props. I go to NFL games, bet all 5 in whatever order I want as easy as point and click. Then go to NFL props and bet all 6 just as easily

                                                                I really don't understand what your gripe is. Me personally, I think being able to see the odds move in real time is vastly more important than any interface issue. But then again, I don't even see the dynamic lines interface as the issue in the first place. I think I can count on one hand the total number of times I've made a bet through bet the board or straight/rif and that was only when the dynamic lines weren't working properly. And that also includes parlays across 5+ categories which is only a minor hindrance having to switch categories

                                                                5Dimes has a lot of faults but their dynamic lines is literally the best thing about them. I wish all books had it

                                                                  Researching legs for a parlay, what else? Deciding which games/bets I want to put into the parlay.
                                                                  When you want to do a 4 leg parlay on a CBB, NHL, and NBA game in one parlay, good luck doing it all at once in dynamic.

                                                                  Let's say I have 5 NFL games I want to bet and 6 NFL props. I go to NFL games, bet all 5 in whatever order I want as easy as point and click. Then go to NFL props and bet all 6 just as easily
                                                                  So you already know the props ahead of time without needing to shop and already know the amounts you want to bet? Looking at the line is part of the capping, do I want to bet more on the total or more on the receiving yards of a player I think might have a good week if the yards line is low? What's so hard for them to combine Bet the Board with dynamic lines where you can look up multiple sports on one page?

Like all offshore book, you have two chances of winning a dispute and slim just left town. You guys who claim to win thousands never give us the bottom line. How much overall have you LOST, because you sure as hell have not won caca. If you have, you would be in Vegas, wagering with no limits and living like REAL winners, not pretend winners.
