    5Dimes pretty much ran away with the last poster poll. Btw, if you downgrade based on a mistake there would be no A books because they all make them. 5Dimes is a great book, as the poster poll reflects, but not perfect.

        If he bet a bad line it should've been voided immediately, not when it was about to hit.

          I just canceled my 5Dime account..

          This isn;t the 1st time i've seen complaints like this.. on this forum and others.

          In my opinion, If they offer a bad line and Don't catch it BEFORE the match/game/tourny whatever starts... they should honour it.

              He did take a shot

                It wasn't voided, it was paid at the correct odds.

                  Not sure what the big deal is here the player took a shot at the book and knew what he was doing when he did it, he got caught and the book was still kind enough to not only not void his wager but gave him 3-1 when the original line was supposed to be 2-1.

                  Tony also pointed out 1 or 2 more bad lines that the guy had taken a shot on.

                  Word to the wise do not take shots at bad lines it will most likely get caught so you are only giving the book an opportunity to freeroll you and it is a great way to wear out your welcome and get banned or get your limits cut.

                    And who follows golf so much to know "it's a bad line"

                    I don't even know a golf player besides Tiger but if i see a player +3000, sure I'd put a few bucks on him. Am I suppose to know thas a bad line?
                    I dont know s**t about golf either, but in that chat the player has no answer for Tony when he confronts the player on the fact that his finish in Top20 wager was 20-1, while the finish Top5 and Top10 posted odds for same golfer were less? Obviously it was a bad line and the player knew it. Now would I be pissed if I was the player and it took till the last day of the tournament for Tony to contact him? Yes, I would be and it sucks for the player, but I have to side here with the book. Since there were other wagers offered on this golfer at lower odds to finish higher, it puts the line in perspective. Now Tony's CS skills as dogsh*t, but I think in a player's mind, great CS is nice, but getting paid and good lines are top priority. I do agree with Paco to a point, 5Dimes should be downgraded from A+ to maybe A, because of the CS and they do get more complaints for that then any other book in the forums, but D or F? C'mon Paco

                      Will SBR honour the "mistake" in the BTP Contest for iifold winning? They added an extra 0. Are they going to cancel it before it hits telling us we knew it was a bad line?

                      And yes, I know the chance of it hitting is unlikely, but still, same situation.

                          Solid post ehp

                          Ok consensus is player took shot but Tony is a fukkin jerkoff and waited to long to advise player of a bad line.

                                  So, why is 5dimes rated as A+ along with these other A+ books?.....downgrade to B or B+....SBR do the right thing.

                                    Many of the people who voted have less than 100 posts...those guys are new to online sportsbooks and mostly dont have a clue. How about taking votes from people who have atleast 100 posts or who have been around for more than an year. Those people know the truth about 5dimes. The results for 5dimes is skewed because of plenty of newbies.

                                      I do still have some money with these guys and usually I wager all my games thru my iPhone but sometimes if I don't have much time or my Internet is acting up I call them to put my bet in and EVERYTIME there CS reps act like ur bothering themZ from the opening Hello. U can always hear them smacking there lips, they give attitude if u ask them for a read back for a 2nd time. After u confirm, not even a thank u, all u hear is a click.

                                        So if we see a line we like on something that we believe gives us an edge, we shouldnt bet it because it may be "human error"? Oh boy. A man's word on a bet used to be worth something....

                                              +2000 on a line that should have been +200. Poster refused to answer the following question for the wager in question which was 50 to 1 for 1st place, 8 to 1 for top 5, 4 to 1 for top 10.

                                              He said he didn't know what fair Odds would be for the same player place in the top 20 which he got 20 to 1 odds for. He got 450 to 1 odds on others wagers which should have been 45 to 1.
