5 Dimes
Boston Celtics vs. Phoenix Suns
Money Lines

* 02/22/2008 11:06AM: -105 / -115 Opener
* 02/22/2008 11:14AM: Even / -110
* 02/22/2008 1:35PM: +110 / -120
* 02/22/2008 4:17PM: +108 / -118
* 02/22/2008 5:23PM: +105 / -115
* 02/22/2008 5:37PM: Even / -110
* 02/22/2008 7:15PM: +102 / -112
* 02/22/2008 9:43PM: +101 / -111
* 02/22/2008 10:29PM: +913 / -1113
* 02/22/2008 10:32PM: +103 / -113

So I called them up and let them know they had a bad line up, and it was fixed right away. Which everyone should practice. See a bad line, report it to the book.

But I wonder how many tried to take a shot on it?

Most likely the creeps didn't even thank you.

The C.S. rep did.

On a side note. It was actually the first time I was connected to a male rep. They are usually women. Unlike someone else here said about 5Dimes.

Their staff is friendlier than I remember, at least the ladies on live chat. I'm never the type of player who looks for bonuses or freeplays, but she hooked me up with 15% of my losses since I opened my account, it's like (deposit amount)(whatyou'vewithdrawn)divided by etc, but she was cool about it.

The Celtics at +913 is tempting but I like the Suns in this game. Do you think 5Dimes would pay if the Celtics won?

No. They are cool enough to pay it out at what the correct odds should have been I'd say (assuming they didn't cancel the bet prior to the game starting), it may require an inquiry by SBR though.

Nice catch looker.

did they throw you a reward for reporting it?

No offer of one, but I wasn't looking for hand outs from them. I just wanted the line corrected.

Given the way they played tonight are you sure that was a bad line?

it's not worth taking a shot on a line like that. if the celtics had won, you would likely find your bet had been cancelled. if the suns win, you win often find your bet as a loser. what 5dimes used to do when i reported these bad lines is give me a no juice bet. i suspect they would still do this. the greek i think pays 5 or ten bucks for finding these.

I bet the Suns and loved it! Could have piled the money on the Suns and hedged it with the ML bet.

The only thing worth your while for reporting this is to get on the books good side. On such a major sporting event this would have been noticed and corrected ASAP you would think. I think that books are more appreciative when you identify an obscure error on a prop or European event. The chances greater that it won't be noticed vs a major contest. The book I play gives you a $25 free play each time you notify them of an error. I don't know if that is there rule of thumb, but I've been getting them. Since September I probably got 5 or so.

ONLOOKER,

We need more guys like you to keep this place up. I've always appreciated ya. I would've done the same. I have never taken a shot at a book and haven't ever had any trouble out of one either. Funny how Karma works.

I'm not sure about that. Couple weeks ago on a 2H line i took it at -110, but at the confirm screen for some reason it said +915, I didn't realize until I already confirmed.

I went to call them up to cancel it so I can bet the right line and they said they already canceled it and not to worry

They would refer you to Tony to discuss the payout.
