5Dimes users having issues should use SportBet.com to log on

MajorWedgy · 10-30-10, 11:13 AM

Yep.... having issues. I did not know they had a 3rd mirror. www.propbet.com is not working as well.

Sportbet.com works; thanx for help

csm506 · 10-30-10, 12:05 PM

thanks for the updates.

blackbeSSt · 10-30-10, 03:49 PM

fivedimes.com and 5dimes.tv are also mirrors that have and haven't been working also

onlooker · 10-30-10, 03:52 PM

I'm having no problems logging on.

SpeedPro · 10-30-10, 04:04 PM

Seems to be back working for now at least for me.

Anyone know about what times of the day 5dimes opens up their reduced juice on NBA?

Trucker George · 10-30-10, 05:04 PM

Why is "5dimes.com" having "issues" but other URLs pointing to the same site are OK? Are they under attack or something? For example, you are never going to hear "google.com is having issues, so try google2.com".

Bill Dozer · 10-30-10, 07:03 PM

It's likely a configuration issue with the web servers load balancing 5dimes.com. All the info is still accessible from the database server, just have to use a different door/web server to access it.

Google has thousands of servers but actually you can hit a different webserver using different domains if they had a problem at one datacenter. Going to google.co.cr or .us is as different as 5d is to sportbet.

I'm getting tired of 5Dimes logging me out every couple of minutes when using Firefox too. Sportbet always works for me, always the one you should use on Saturdays if placing college football bets near major kickoff times ... I think they get too much activity around those times and it overloads their server. That's just a guess, but that's when I've seen this issue the most.

MUHerd37 · 10-30-10, 10:55 PM

I didn't have any problems logging into them today. I did have problems every Saturday morning for the past month tho. They really need to upgrade their shit or something.They just can't handle the traffic I guess.

mitote · 10-30-10, 11:29 PM

That is there problem! At the busy time the servers can't handle the load! Might have to shit can 5 dimes and go elsewhere!

This seems like a completely different book not 5dimes at all. Is this just an attempt to steal login info?

nah if you call up 5dimes they will tell you the same sites that were listed above. they are just mirrors running different servers as backups. most if not all websites have mirrors just in case.

Tony owns this book too

I thought it was just me having issues with firefox. Seems to be fixed now.

Keep in mind some traffic might not be legit though. Many online e-commerce sites like amazon, sportsbooks, etc, all have issues with DoS attacks.

In the past, when a sportsbook has issues like this, it's a DoS

Seems to be working fine now.

Just went to go lay down a wager...5dimes was acting up, kicking me out of the system anytime I'd click on a sport to bet.

Sportbet.com worked good though.

Yes, now I am getting logged out with in minutes.
