    After years and years...I'm done with 5dimes

    Most of my betting has been thru a local but I still use off shore. I've always raved about 5Dimes. But you can't get your money from them easily anymore. I'll be at heritage and local now. End of an era

    Do you think 5 Dimes needs to make some adjustments??

    I think they should actually make it mainly a bitcoin book now or at least concentrate that way

    A+ Book betting wise and safety

    Hi Ralphie,

    We are guessing you have no interest in using bitcoin for transactions?

    Can't beat the betting options there. For years they were my #1 overall. Now I prefer playing at bookmaker even though they don't come close on betting options. Just so much easier and never have to deal with talking to people there. I can request/deposit without having to email or get on live chat. Never had a problem with 5dimes customer service, but don't care to sit on live chat for 5/10 minutes just to do something that I can do on bookmaker in 3 clicks.

    They make using bitcoin way more complicated than it needs to be. Should be hassle free, no emails, etc. Unless something has changed recently.

    Not sure if you've ever used BetOnline, Ralphie, but I've never had one hiccup with withdrawals there through the years. I think it's a very underrated book and I basically use them over 5Dimes now.

    You ever feel like pissing away a few bucks on 25 team parlay over the weekend? Don't know any other places where that's available.

    I agree. With the expense for withdrawals nowadays (not to mention the hassle), it's like playing at -120. Crickets when Vegas tried that years ago and this will affect off shore too. And yeah, I know the issues with U.S. players, but that doesn't change the situation.

    You notice hiccups only if your account is overall in positive and you make consistent withdrawals. If you just drop 5 granda month and request 2 withdrawals of 5 grands per year, then they will have no problem paying you.

    Betonline i a square as they come book.

    I thought you quit wagering. They called me this past year on a withdrawal would not process til their security talked ro me. . Bullshit. The last thing a guy wants is to have a offshore call him on a withdrawal. And im done with that book. I still have a roll at 5dimes mainly for poker. Amazon giftcard withdrawals work for me. But i play at bovada so peeps cant datamine me.

    I don't know about that. It seems like BetOnline is very open about players winning huge. Someone won about 140k on a parlay and another guy won about 85k this year alone and they publicize it. Why would they even make this public knowledge if they have no intent to pay? There also are no known issues with payouts either.

    I just stated a issue. And any book that allows 10+ team parlays is exposed to the risk of a 100k loss. Its in the mix.

    The best way is a book who will withdrawal to ur card or other ways. That way banks are not cashing cheques.

    I have no real opinion on bitcoins. Except its a currency that fluctuates in value. So i stay clear of it. The main thing i dont like anyone calling me. N O. Is NO

    Payout is not the issue. Ofcourse its good to publicize those once in a while monster parlay hits because they get more exposure by that way as everyone blogs about it than actual paid ad campaign.

    Nobody had pay out issues because they cater to long term losing gamblers. These gamblers deposit way more than they withdraw and their accounts are in the negative.

    But if you are winner betonline will either show you the door or give you under $10 limits. Pretty much every book out there does his except pinnacle, cris/bookmaker, thegreek and 5dimes. But 5dimes is still somehwat square because once they realize you are consistent winner they lower you limit but not to pocket change like other square books--they will let you bet 1 to 2k depending on the sport.

    Pinnacle, bookmaker/cris, thegreek also do something to winners that some may not notice. For example, pinnacle if you are proven and consistnt long term winner, will red circle all the events (lower than usual limit) until well past 11 or 11.30 am and sometimes even later before they let you bet the reular limit or he blue circled higher than regular limits---they do this to shape their lines...by the time they allow you to bet their max limit, the lines are already very sharp.

    This information is so incorrect I don't know where to start. First of all, I have done very well at BOL for years and my limits are still very good (they halved my nba limts once a while back, but they are still good). On the other hand, 5Dimes is very big on extreme limiting and wager delays, both of which were done to me long ago.

    I have cashed out 3 times in the recent weeks for what I think was a large withdrawal. I have not had any issue with the cash out process or the length of time the withdrawal took.

    I think it may have recently changed, at least for deposits. I made a bitcoin deposit yesterday that was credited within 15 minutes. It was all automated. Unfortunately, I haven't made a recent withdrawal.

    The bitcoin withdrawal at 5Dimes is a very small hassle. I like it though. After you request online, they send a confirmation email to the email on file.

    I like the extra security. In the email you have to verify your bitcoin address and the amount you want to withdraw. This way they confirm your accounts did not get hacked in to and it also makes sure you did not give them an incorrect/wrong bitcoin address. If they were to send the funds to a wrong address, there's no getting it back.

    They usually send you the email the following day after request. After you respond, the funds are sent within a few hours.
