    What many seem to not understand?

    Here's what I am seeing, and yes, I have no patience with naive 5D gamblers who have little skin to, either, to be refunded, paid in the one fair manner, or simply completely lost, altogether.
    And I should apologize. But, when you have played here for years and have done both, lost big, won big, and altogether, this is a considerable amount. And you must know those losses are hard to overcome.
    The Gov nevers sleeps. The fees get you going and coming, and the stress of it all can be dismantling.

    So, being a veteran on here and seeing so many concerned about their small refunds, they must consider to some degree; what about the Big Dog's who have paid heavy dues on here for years? Like the Big Dog with the open 5-teamer, needing one hit for 385, or so. Of course, any smart gambler realizes he can hedge that parlay and might--a real longshot--win the parlay and even his hedge bet, too.
    But what if they only want to offer that miniscule refund and he chances an enormous hedge bet anyway, and it loses? He could lose $50,000 to a 100,000 thousand. Now that's prussue to the max.

    See, we the Big Dog's count more, whether you believe it, or don't even care.

    Now, see, small stuff matters also, too, but not to the dramatic stage of the crying I see so plentiful on SBR. And in my opinion, those crying opinions I described above, could very well be influential to a negative degree toward our tough old veteran Big Dog's?
    So please stop the whining about the small stuff on SBR. Do it privately or simply wait and see.

    Like I said, I should apologize?
    Well, did Larry Bird ever apologize to NBA rookies or players who have yet paid their dues?

    So, I say, show some respect and concern for your fellow Big Dog's, who just may have a 1000 times more skin than you do riding to possibly lose, along with a 1000 times more pressure to find a method to collect it, somehow, someway, too?

    In the same boat as you. $1k tied up on the election too. They told me they would refund it "as soon as possible" but that was on Tuesday.

    Sure, that's what they want for all futures. Do you need that measly $1000 that badly?
    Read above and reconsider.

    $ is always relative. I don't consider a dime "measly". Maybe to you it is. I'm not belittling those with only a few hundred trying to get their money refunded. So your suggestion is to not even bother collecting?

    I was fortunate that they graded my Milwaukee bucks futures not to win the East or NBA title just waiting for Monday to get that free check payout.
    For those that don't know you could get one free check payout per month if you request it only on Mondays I forgot the time

    I asked for an update on refunding wagers. I asked if they will wait until September 21 to refund wagers and they said no they are processing refund requests in the Que. I asked if I am near the top of it yet and they said “yes, you should expect to see them canceled sometime today”

    I requested refunds Monday evening.

    Potentially good news!

    My lakers championship got refunded just now....and I also had a Denver for west future refunded as well. This is like 1 percent of all futures that I need refunded but it’s a start. Also surprising one of the first ones they did was Denver which would have graded as a loss by tonight.

    I’ll keep posted

    They paid me so as far as I am concerned they have honored their initial word.

    I am betting this weekend with them and will have one last cashout Monday.

    Considering the potential payoff? I see no way this Web is going to straight "cheat you of any cash plays."
    So, I can only guess, he takes the 1000 and the parlay pays 3,000 + down the road.
    So again, they absolutely cannot take his 1000, so I say ride it out til we see another day.
    My probable way.
    And you're giving in to this shaky Web, who looking for clients just like him.

    Do you know if they are going in the order according as requested or are they using another metric? I asked them to cancel my pending wagers several days ago and so far all 23 of my futures are still pending.

    Keep us posted

    Sounds like theyre going sport by sport... or bet type by bet type... not account by account bet by bet......

    I have MLB and NFL futures, not refunded... but I would think there should be a higher priority given to the NBA & NHL futures.

    Also, I find it funny that prior to this... if lets say you had a Bruins to win it all ticket... which I did... they would not grade it as a loss until a winner is declared... My Bruins tickets not only were graded as a loss... but they were disappeared off the site.

    I had a problem with them on another issue 2 weeks ago. So - whatever is going on - I firmly believe they knew something was going on...

    I had $150 on the Gophers to win the Championship (I know, I know - I don't care)... anyway when they canceled the BIG10 season I asked for a refund. They said no. I asked again. They said no - not until a winner is declared etc... I asked again a week or so later - the agent canceled my tickets on the spot. I got emails the tickets were voided and the $150 was credited to my account. I played with the $150 and lost it. The next day my account was -$149.68. All evidence of my gophers bets had been removed from my transaction history. Support rudely told me that a grading change of some random MLB game was the reason for my negative balance. Their explanation made no sense... they would not relent for days... finally I remembered I had screenshot all my pending bets... With the ticket numbers in hand I laid out all the 'math' and they finally and reluctantly relented and 'fixed' my account.

    All wayyyyyyyyy to coincidental in my book.

    I have a bad feeling the 3rd party "administrator" Is a myth, so they stall until the 25th then they'll "forward all questions to administrator it's out of our hands now".
    Then they can blame this made up entity like theyre the problem.

    And, if the us government was supposedly cracking down on offshore, why haven't bookmaker and heritage done something similar?

    Should I be concerned with all these issues with 5Dimes as a Canadian customer? I've been waiting 74 hours on a BTC withdrawal request, no email, no phone call yet. Debating whether I should just withdraw my entire balance until things settle down?

    Update
    5 Emails just received for 5 BTC transactions asking me to verify my account information. I called them Wednesday night and did a pre verification, so I got no phone call here.

    Will keep you advised if and when the 5 transactions hit.

    This is ridiculous. If they say they are going to refund all futures.... especially ones that would be graded in November.... and you're a USA client... what in the hell are they waiting for??? Give me my damn money.

    Also... I'd like some thoughts on this... Bet Any Sports... it is not only identical to 5dimes... but if you ask... you can play on DragonPoker... which is Grand Poker... Bad Beat Jackpot & all... seems pretty connected to me.
