    Is 5Dimes really a sharp book?

    Ive researched and tried to find as much info as I can..I really need some help. Will 5Dimes limit your action quick if you are an honest winner? No chasing steam…
    I mean what if you win 30k over 3 months? Does that justify being collared?I find a ton of mixed information about how they are sharp but they will limit you quickly..
    Then I find information from people saying they've won 70k a year for 3 years in a row and never had any problem. Im asking because Im just wondering if I should be moving some of my winnings to Bookmaker…
    Like everyone , I have dreams of one day being able to call myself a PRO.
    Any advice would really be appreciated guys,,thanks!

    They have a pretty long leash if your not beating closing number or betting steam.

    It all depends on the market you're beating. If it's Indian handball or Polish lawn darts you're on limit island quick pal. You'd have to do some real damage in the NBA or NFL to be on the radar.

    Getting the the 5figure profits out will be when the real fun starts though, no matter what you've been betting

    When you get limited is it different for every player?..One player $50, one $100?? Etc...

    Greg this isn't the guessing game.

    Greg you tell us what you plan to do..what sport, when are you placing wagers, for how much to start.

    then we will help ok pal???

    I'm betting CBB, NBA and NHL..I usually wager in the last 10 minutes before the game starts because I like to have as much information about game as possible.
    Wager amounts are always 150-175 and always straight bets. No teasers, parlays, etc...
    Hope that helps.

    Thanks!
    Yes reduced juice is great there. Lot of o/u CBB plays aren't offered at reduced juice, however I'd say 70% are! Thanks for help

    Stick to the big name books. Even if yiu get limited then just transfer your winnings to a different book.

    I would say NO! They sweat sharp players. My definition of a sharp book is like Pinnacle used to be. Welcome sharp action and don't complain at payout time. The thing about Pinnacle's numbers is they could move them and get buy back because players were not afraid of winning there. This day and age ou have to worry about pissing somebody off because you won too much.

    200 per game times 8 games a day is 4k….I understand you say " kid " and that may be small potatoes to you, however IF you win 150 units at that rate over the course of a year its still a good lick…
    Sorry i don't wager more for your liking.

    You aren't going to win 30K betting 10 minutes before game time. If you had any idea what you were doing, you'd have gotten the money down at a better line. Just fire away. They will be good for the money.

    I actually do watch the line movement…if the line is gonna move against me, obviously I will wager before 10 minutes before game time..or if I feel like its gonna move. Otherwise I wait.

    Don't sweat it. You don't worry about getting limited until you get limited. There will be options available to you at that time if it should happen. 5Dimes will probably let you bet all the NBA and NHL your heart desires 10 minutes before game time.

    The question to ask youself is not what limits 5 Dimes is going to place on you. But what limits you are going to place on 5 Dimes in taking your money. Don't get the cart before the horse.

    10 minutes before game = Bovada. Take what they are giving and move on. Don't worry about 5Dimes until Bovada kicks you out.

    I guess it makes you feel better to say that, however I've admitted several times that I'm a " rookie " looking for advice.
    So far yours has been excellent! I'd rather be a rookie looking to make money and learn than the " veteran " ( like you I'm sure ) who has lost his ass but has the privilege of being able to call people rookies and " kid "

    I would question the reliability of that information. Gamblers are like fisherman with their tales.

    5dimes is a great book if you are a loser or a borderline player. If you're sharp or take shots, don't expect to be around around too long. There is no reason to not sign up though. Get on board and play until they throw you over. You'll get paid.

    No need to take offense. Since you are a rookie and probably haven't figured it out yet, the JJgold posts are being generated from either a computer AI or a 16yr old Costa Rican kid. Key words are picked out of your post and reply is generated from a bank of canned responses. It's part of the fun here so just get used to it. It's like having an imaginary friend or enemy. Just don't take it too seriously. And sometimes the videos are funny.

    I dont know 5dimes limited me pretty fast to 100$ big leagues and 50$ small and i am losing there. I can place again bet on same market after 10min. Good most of my best are 200$ so i wait 10min. and place again but when bigger bet i have to pick other book.
