[Plaza23]

I know we all enjoy Tony chats, so I posted mine below. I was labeled a “shot taker” on a game in which the bet I made lost. Mariners were up 5-0, live line said Mariners +1.5 at -120, I bet it. It was cancelled within minutes. Mariners ended up losing 7-5. I’ve had maybe 6 bets cancelled in 5 years there and I make 500 bets a month mostly live betting. So 6 out of 30,000 career bets (never anything over $300 a bet) and bonged.

5d did pay me my balance quickly (it was $2,000) so no issues there to close my account. Still this is a shit way to treat customers and other players should know. When US books are up and going, let’s see Tony pull this Mickey Mouse bullshit then: So anyways enjoy:




Hi is Tony in yet? My account was suspended and the note said to talk to him in live chat

Roderick
Thanks let me check if he is available.

Blair
Ok

Roderick
I am transferring you over, have a good one.

Blair
Thank you sir
You have been transferred to: Tony.

Blair
Hi Tony. I see I been called into the boss’s office
My account was suspended and the note said to talk with you
So what’s going on?

Tony
you seem to think shot taking at clear line errors is a good idea in my shop

Blair
I mean no shot taking. I’m an edge player and was betting the Mariners last night regardless of line. The line was up for about a second and I hit it. Then awhile later I looked at the note said it was cancelled. Realized the line was an error and did not complain. It’s uour right to cancel any bets. I have no issue with that. The line I bet on that was wrong actually ended up close since it lost. But I appreciate you being a stand up guy and cancelling immediately rather waiting to see if it did end up losing
I usually only bet ultra live so this issue never comes up

Tony
i don't like your answer
you're gone
you could have been given a warning
but you're not getting one
cashier will be enabled for you to redeem your balance

Blair
What answer did you want me to give? I gave you an honest answer. You put out a bad line. I hit it not realizing it was bad. If I was intending to take a shot I’d have bet a +230 ML. I was only betting the RL. I was not trying to screw you guys over

Tony
my stance is that you're a shot taker
i don't know how many times you've gotten away with it
but i can promise you never will again

Blair
And that line did lose be everyone knew the Yanks would come back and make it close
I’ve never had a bad wager honored at 5d. It’s stupid to take shots bc you guys cancel them anyway. I make nearly 550 bets a month. Never any problems with shot taking or complaining

Tony
i have enough notes about shot taking

Blair
Tony, you shouldn’t have them on me. I’m an honest player. I know how quickly you guys post live lines. I’m got my mouse ready. Hitting refresh to make the bet on a team. I’m not even looking at the line bc I’m betting the team usually in a game I’m watching
If I was taking shots I’d be trying to take both sides. You never see me play like that Read

Tony
i see you're a shot taker with at least half a dozen notes about voided wagers
i don't know how many more didn't get notes
and i don't care
you're gone
i'm done replying
cashier is enabled
hit the road

Blair
Are you serious? I been playing here nearly 5 years. You’ve never once honored a cancelled bet of mine. It’s not my fault that you put out lines that are up for 2 seconds and players pounce on them not knowing if they are perfect lines.
Im sorry. I’d like to continue to play here and I have no issues with you canceling bets. Nobody gets away with winning a bad line, so why would you get rid of long time players if they bet on it? It was up for 2 seconds it’s not like that is a ton of time to know the line is correct
I’ve made 10,000 bets in 5 years, and 6 get cancelled and your kicking me? None even being paid out. Speechless here

[5mike5]

to be fair its an obvious bad line

so why bother betting it?

[MadTiger]

1. Fug Tony.
2. He was correct, but he could have been less of an UNPROFESSIONAL ASSHOLE in his dealing with you. FUG TONY.

[MadTiger]

Tony, or whoever is the 5dimes reps that reads these threads:

WTF was the "correct" answer? "Tony, pretty please with sugar on top?"

I didn't like YOUR answer, Tony.

P.S. Fug Tony.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Your name is Blair?

[thechaoz]

So happy about legalized betting in NJ. No more games and bullshit, completely regulated

[A Quant]

That moron is going to get crushed when sports wagering takes off in the US.

That prick will be begging for customers.

[2daBank]

5-0 and you take the team leading +1.5 at -120, and you have the balls to claim you didn’t know it was a bad line? And you said you were watching the game? Lmao. Tony a jerkoff but he on point here, I would have tossed your shot taking ass too. Lucky they were so nice about letting you get your balance.

[5mike5]

unless US gets A LOT better odds and less juice, offshore wont be losing much business at all

[19th Hole]

[TheSchafe]

Sorry Plaza...hate it for you. I guess your arms were just too short to box with "God."

On the other hand, I think Tony did you a favor. How 5Dimes is listed as an A+ book is beyond me. An egomaniac for an owner combined with undoubtedly the shittiest customer service this side of the Panama Canal. Not to mention the Bitcoin hassle where if you miss one of several verification calls, you have to start the process all over again. They also cannot justify a 36+ hour time frame from initial request to your Bitcoin wallet.

Reduced juice is not worth the bullshit players have to go through at that Mickey Mouse shop. Go to Heritage for the reduced juice, or Bookmaker for the best of the best in every other category. Excellent customer service, one of the few if not the only rewards program in the industry, Bitcoin withdrawals completed in as little as 2-2.5 hours, and just about any event you can imagine can be wagered on.

And no, I'm not a shill for BM. This is just what an all-around excellent product does...the service sells itself with nothing more than word of mouth. Good luck pal!

[MadTiger]

On a lighter note, why the fuk did you mush the Mariners so bad with your jinxing ass? Damn.

[shadymcgrady]

bush league management

Can't wait to see articles about offshore books that went belly up a few yrs from now. I'll think back on this exchange and chuckle

JJerkoff gonna have to find a new gig soon

Nothing gets passed Diggity. Guy is sharp as fuk.

Exactly. I guarantee in less than a year he's offering a good, long-time customer like Plaza a freeplay. Unbelievable how he labeled a 5+ year customer as a shot taker after just one mistake. After no previous pattern of this behavior whatsoever. He's lauded for being tough, but fair...but I see nothing fair about this instance.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Unde, yes.

I pay special attention to the little details.

He claims there were half a dozen notes on his accounts about cancelled wagers.

He was on hexa-secret probation, I guess.

No shit! I put away a bottle of whiskey watching that shit show.

[MadTiger]

In Tony's defense:

If it was true that you had at least six previous shot-taking attempts that they didn't even call foul on you for, then he was more than patient. He still needs to update that attitude, but at least he gave you some chances.

[jjgold]

Bad line

Do you guys understand five dimes has a radius population wise of the approx 800 million people?

Obviously he doesn’t care about losing players, he runs a tight place with no BS

His non-USA business is enormous

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Anybody know what Tony looks like?

[JohnGalt2341]

I’ve had maybe 6 bets cancelled in 5 years there and I make 500 bets a month mostly live betting. So 6 out of 30,000 career bets (never anything over $300 a bet) and bonged.

I'm just trying to piece some things together here. You've been at 5Dimes for 5 years correct? And you've made 10,000 bets? What is the 30,000 number?... how many years?

My next question is... how much are you up or down at 5Dimes over the last 5 years? And... if you are up... do you have limits on anything? 5Dimes is a recreational book... I think most people that are up at 5Dimes have fairly low limits... I could be wrong about this. Not judging... just trying to piece some things together here. I feel like I'm missing something.

Let’s not lose site of the key fact here. Op says he watches the games he live betting then in same breath he claims ignorance on a team leading 5-0 getting +1.5 -120 is not clearly a bad line?? Anyone with any sense knows that clearly a bad line and stays away.

[Chi_archie]

oh no

[Foxx]

Anybody know what Tony looks like?

[SharpAngles]

Welcome to the club. I got on his radar for hitting one too many CFB parlays last year and within a week I was suspended for refreshing the NFL Props page too often, lolwtf. He baited me into a chat war and gave me the boot. Like you I had my full balance shipped within a day so can’t complain about much beyond them being so unprofessional.

Your big mistake was telling him you’re an “edge player”. If you’ve got a decent withdrawal history he will look for a reason to kick you out and you played right into his little midget hands.

No need to be such a jerkoff

Worked for him a while ago.

I always pictured him as Mr. Spacely from the Jetsons:



Extremely short, balding loud Italian man with a Napoleon Complex with a dangerous temper.

PLAAAAAAAZAAAA!!!

Is this for real? That's what they told you?

[shocka1212]

+1.5 should've been -1250 or so when up 5-0..... id ban someone for trying to reach into my pocket with my back turned also. don't think you're a bad guy, just bet at heritage or something.
