    5dimes - when they boot you
    Do they let you know? Or just stop taking bets? It just seems not to process a single wager of mine anymore - just delay for about 5 mins then come up with some bullshit message about the price being evaluated - but then the prices i am trying to bet don't move, often for long periods of time (1hr +). Didn't they used to have a "P" on the SBR recommended list? I see they now have an "R".

    I don´t know, but they did put me on delay after ~3 bets on their -105 NBA lines. Useless book if you bet more than $300 imo.

      Wack, I was put on delay about 1 month into my 5Dimes venture, as I was winning consistently there. Then I had 2 big pay days come Super Bowl and then the Academy Awards of all things, and that was it.....Went to log in shortly thereafter, and my account was disabled. Then I noticed that my entire balance had been withdrawn and sent to my Neteller account. 5Dimes experience over.....

        And for good measure, if you call them up and ask "whats up?" you will get some front end malignment--no extra charge. 5 Pennies is not a book for a serious player.

          Depending on what kind of bettor you are, or what sport you're interested in, 5 Dimes should probably not be your main out.

              Definite recreactional book - pros are shown the delay, then the collar, then the door. And ask Pico his experience with their bonus - almost takes a PhD to decypher it.

                They cancelled and refunded a winning horse bet for me claiming "That's all we can do because we have a new system and that's why we've been having problems lately." The wager was made before the race ran as shown by the ticket time,the off time shown in the race charts and by anyone watching the race live.

                An "A" book? Not.

                  Those Kind Of Sh*tty Book Should Not Get Anything But A Z-rating,how Can Anyone Put Their Money In There Even If They Are Recreational,since They Will Not BE Allowed To Win anything meaningful !!.
                  I Wonder How Many Of These Squares Would Sh*t Their Money In Outfits Like That If They New They Where Going To Get F*ck Around With That Way JUST Because They Are"recreational."how Many Would Sh*t Their Cash In A Hole Like 5dimes,if They New Ahead Of Time What Was Awaiting Them.i Think SBR Should Put A Caption That Would WARN the People of what Exactly What awaits them so a unfortunate soul like WACK wouldn't end up victimize by these ASSH*LES

                    I've noticed problems when I go to place a wager and it takes several seconds for their system to confirm the wager and generate a confirmation number.

                      Usually books that have a quick boot just dont have the cash reserves to absorb big losses, the big time books do not do this.

                      5 Dimes is small so they play it safe, I guess that is cool.

                          They could be big if they would stop being dicks.
                          Looking through the forums, there are lots and lots of people who think they are one of the best books - even with the shit this Tony fella pulls all the time. Overrated +++, they could take advantage of this..

                            if you don't bet big, play there...simple as that.
