    A few more things? The selection is nothing like what we enjoyed with 5D/BAS. A lot is going to have to advance before I'm willing to say mission accomplished. It's not even close to what it was before.

    To me, the indications so far point to this being a completely different book. I hope I'm wrong.

      Yea it's been pretty evident from the start. This won't be anywhere like the old site.

Otherwise it really makes no sense to me why they would willingly sabotage a perfectly fine product and drive away customers for no reason. Makes even less sense when you consider that the 5dimes site themselves apparently have not made any updates and are still using their normal software.
          good points

            5 Dimes usa laughable

            They have zero shot to compete

            I mean zero

            It’s all control by a few books with so much money it’s incredible


            5 Dimes Does not have the money to even compete in the USA do you need incredible amounts of money to advertise just to make a tiny amount of money

              Whether they succeed or not idk but it's obvious this is their plan. It's the only reason they agreed to settle with the FEDS for 50 mil and agreed to ban their entire american customer base. Clearly they must feel confident about their chances of succeeding or merging with another company in the US for them to go to those extremes. They wont ever compete with DK or FD but maybe they have success as a player in smaller niche markets for those interested in exotic wagering options like open parlays/teasers and other options the current books dont offer

                    I don't think this is obvious at all. Maybe she simply wanted to be no longer considered a criminal wanted by the United States government. That's a huge incentive to settle when you can, especially when the settlement is for peanuts relative to your company's revenue. The US legalization story could have just been PR spin, since they were pissing off a lot of customers.

                          Yeah I was just going off what the story by Purdum said where it said they are eyeing and preparing to eventually enter the US betting market and have established "5D Americas LLC". So taking the press release in good faith would make it obvious. But, like u said, its very possible the whole thing was PR Spin and that was never their true intention at all.

                              BAs is running a scam. Parlays, live lines, closing lines are in and out. This is literally the highest point of the year for NBA betting, and they remove everything to change to some format. Theres no way a site with Tony5dimes in charge cannot get something done like this.

                                      Still no reduced juice overnights in anything. 5d had it for MLB, NHL and NBA.

                                      No golf futures. It's only a major, though.

If I hadn't been screenshotting everything I'd be ******. Every goddamn time I open up they've screwed something else up. What a goddamn abortion.
                                        You mean the transactions page that only says "Wager Placed" under Wager Details? There is no way to do a full audit on your account right now. I doubt that is by design, but it means you cannot know if they are screwing you without manually entering your bets into a spreadsheet.

                                        No thanks.

                                          The best part about 5Dimes' book is that it offers a wide selection which no one else has. A site redesign is one thing, but if BAS is going to make a completely different book, then that's a huge loss for US bettors. They'll be just another basic offshore instead of standing out from the crowd.
                                          I'll take a basic offshore with bad lines any day....I think that's what they are going to be. They are trying to rebuild 5 Dimes from scratch, without any of the skills 5D had. Problem is, BAS is not reliable at this point, nor do they look like they have what it takes to survive long-term as a bookmaker.

                                          My theory: they were operating using 5D for software and manpower. But they didn't employ the same risk control that 5D does. I.e., they offered slow-moving, reduced juice lines and didn't limit winners aggressively (many of whom suddenly showed up after 5D shut to US). So they weren't making much with that model and decided to split off and hack together their own frankenstein software.

                                          This prob. won't end well, but I am rooting for them to figure it out.

They are trying to rebuild 5 Dimes from scratch, without any of the skills 5D had. Problem is, BAS is not reliable at this point, nor do they look like they have what it takes to survive long-term as a bookmaker.

                                                My theory: they were operating using 5D for software and manpower. But they didn't employ the same risk control that 5D does. I.e., they offered slow-moving, reduced juice lines and didn't limit winners aggressively (many of whom suddenly showed up after 5D shut to US). So they weren't making much with that model and decided to split off and hack together their own frankenstein software.

                                                This prob. won't end well, but I am rooting for them to figure it out.
                                                Some truth to this most likely. It does seem they are breaking away. If they do so, they are just going to buy stuff from someone else. They are not going to try to do anything on their own. They may be buying some stuff from 5Dimes and getting other stuff somewhere else. Not sure they even know what they are doing at this point but this is definitely not the book people think it is at this point. It is probably a C+ at best.

                                                  My impression of what is happening here is that BAS had a good thing going with 5Dimes but then they took a lot of 5Dimes customers they shouldn't have. So now they are getting hammered. They don't want to pay 5Dimes anymore because they probably cost too much. They are trying to get out of this 5Dimes arrangement and go back to what they were before.

                                                    It’s a process I know they’re working because I keep seeing changes


                                                    We need more information on ownership somebody should come on here from that company and explain

                                                      If they are moving away from 5Dimes, they do not have anything to explain. That is why they emphasized they are under the same ownership. That is not the issue. The issue is whether they are getting stuff from 5Dimes. If they aren't, people are out the door.

                                                        Avoid this book until reports of them being 100% up and back to "normal" are reported.

                                                        It's that simple.

                                                        This was a gigantic clusterfuck and was supposed to be resolved in 12 hours

                                                        12 days later it's still not right

                                                          This seems to be BetDSI 2.0. The difference with BetDSI is that they actually knew how to run a sportsbook and what they needed to do. BAS probably doesn't.
