    As for quality of product, there are many facets to that and their mobile interface is close to last on my list of priorities. If they have the best selection of markets and some of the most competitive odds, then I'll find a way to place bets on their site, even if it's a little less convenient than other books.

    (I actually just use propbet.com for the 5Dimes desktop site on my mobile phone and don't have any issues with that)
    Hopefully the sports betting legislation being introduced in many states gets passed and 5D and the rest lose a ton of customers.

    Lol

    Will never touch them
    Lines too good
    Too many bet offers and bet types

    Vegas books combined could not touch any top offshore book

    They could have the best lines in the world it makes 0 difference to someone who's account has been limited due to excessive wins.

    Not a sportsbook in the world would allow a player to keep winning and not limit them or ban them !! Nobody is in business to lose money constantly-

    On the contrary, there are several books that don't bank or limit winners. Plus, it's possible that we'll see minimum bet laws, where books would be required by law to accept a minimum wager amount on all events, from anybody legally allowed to place a bet (several groups are trying to get it passes in various countries).

    Lots of offshore books do not ban

    Don’t worry everybody’s a loser here so we don’t have to worry about getting banned

    If you're just dealing with depositing and withdrawing in Bitcoin as your funding source, 5Dimes is a very good book with regards to lines and juice. Main thing I dislike about their site is how antiquated the user interface feels, but I finally got the hang of it after a few tries.

    Before reading the cautionary tales, when I first registered, I tried to make a deposit using a debit card with them (I have the Paypal Business Debit Card which gives 1% cash back and is a nice firewall to my bank account so I'm not exposing my bank debit card info) and it kept getting declined for whatever reason (it was never security flagged). Good news is I have since received a new card with a new number since my new one now had the EMV chip, so I no longer have to worry in case that number fell into the wrong hands.

    Hell , SBR pays out faster than 5Dimes when purchasing btc with betpoints
    for realz

    maybe SBR, the watchdog could do some tutoring with some of the books to teach them how to payout $

    or at least just give me a number that you will call from, so I don't have to pick up for every frickin spam call for 2 solid days

    Doesnt have much to do with 5dimes, accounts get credited after confirmation on the blockchain... this deposit was 3 minutes...next one might be an hour. You got lucky and got your deposit in right before the next block was mined.

    and on the flip side.. the BTC withdrawal process... its slow, and asinine , and youll get shorted.

    JJ there is very few people that constantly win all the time - no book is happy to pay out 100k every month - it’s not illegal for them to ban you - Vegas casinos ban people all the time that win- you can always take your money somewhere else there’s tons of books/casinos

    If that’s one of your priorities, I have to say Bookmaker has been really great lately. My last 3 withdrawals were in my wallet within 2 hours of clicking the submit button.

    So you're argument is that Americans, that live in America, ranked 5Dimes as best in America, but not in the world? Okay ...

    Americans think that 5Dimes is a quality product. It's a shit product. It's a rec book with a dated interface and bad mobile support. Their reduced juice only exists if you're a smaller, losing player. Beat them for larger amounts, and you lose your reduced juice. Their reduced juice is all they have going for them (unless you like betting on smaller things with low limits, like WWE wrestling, high school football, college baseball, etc).

    The people who love 5dimes are the ones who have lost a lot of money to them (most bettors) anyone who's consistently won has a different tune. Slower pays. Lowered limits. Douchebag thread chats.

    No special story...just a middle-aged, married dude with kids who works for a living and tries to grind out a few extra bucks betting games. Being a former athlete, betting the games also satisfies the competitive "itch" that not competing anymore.

    "Toffer" is a variation of my name that was given to me as a nickname years ago. It's a persona that comes alive from time to time...
