5Dimes or Bet Jamaica?

[Speedy88]

Which one should I go with, 5Dimes or BetJamaica? I want the one that offers a lot of ML bets on their NBA games. I've been using Bodog for a while, and I'm tired of their lack of ML bets for their NBA games. I'm also leaning towards BetJamaica because of their $100 free play sign-up bonus.

Anything advice helps, thanks.

[Roxxyfish]

I have accounts with both andilike them both , from the us books my favorites

[Speedy88]

Do you know if BetJamaica offers a lot of available ML's on NBA games? And are payouts easy to do on Bet Jamaica? I'm starting to lean towards BetJam just because of the $100 freeplay.

5D for reduced juice and earlier lines.

[Speedy88]

can you explain the reduced juice thing to me? Sorry, i'm pretty new to this whole sports betting thing. Much appreciated.

[Speedy88]

Anyone?

[PokerDave]

YES, If you pay $110 to win $100 It cost you $10
On reduced lines at 5 dimes you bet $105 to win $100
A savings of $5... GET IT? OUT

just go with both, both are safe and good

Only want to go with one. I got $100 and I want to put it in only one. I already have an account with Bodog with some money in it, so I don't want to be going between 3. Do you know if BetJamaica offers a good amount of ML bets for NBA games?

If I had to chose it would be 5D for more options and lower juice which in the long term will be worth a lot more than a $100 free play

[Speedy88]

Does that reduce juice apply to all games? I'm a bit confused about it.

[Stumpage]

If you are interested in props at all in addition to what you've mentioned, I'd go with 5D. I haven't played there in years, but if I recall they had a fairly wide selection.....

[slatter]

Definitely lean 5Dimes for the earlier lines and reduced juice, as well as a larger selection of games (in my experience), as well as a much better website design... though that last one isn't a reason on its own to pick a book over another.

[Speedy88]

Would you say reduced juice from 5dimes is better than the $100 freeplay. I'm not a big better, so $100 seems pretty big to me.

Also, can you explain how the reduced juice works. Is it -105 on all bets or just some?

[KC]

Both but 5D lines are a little better and they have tons more props

[starfire]

Betjam is better for small bettors

[blinky88]

5dimes

[the_situation]

BetJam

[blackbeSSt]

Betjam is better for small bettors

i disagree. reduced juice is great for small bettors. also with so many props and other sports i find 5dimes to be ahead of BJ. just my .02 though

[losemyloot]

If you are looking for a long term book then 5dimes reduced juice will save you more in the long run. The lines are not always -105/-105. Every game is different you could see -103/-107, -101/-109 etc.

If you bet $10 a game and you win 50% of the time then after approximately 200 bets you will have saved the $100 bonus you got at bet jam.

But if he is only putting $100.
he might as well get the free $100

[LT Profits]

5 Dimes reduced juice in the long run is a lot better than a one-time $100 bonus. 5 Dimes should be a no-brainer, and they have MLs on ALL NBA games, even the ones with big spreads.

[kylehen_son]

5dimes, no question. betjam has become very bland

[Grosshhit]

5 Dimes no doubt about it, those reduced juice lines can really be beneficial over time if you are there for awhile

[blackbeSSt]

But if he is only putting $100.
he might as well get the free $100

true. but we all know 90% of the casual bettors are gonne lose their bonus and will then be stuck at regular juice

[ZephyrM]

Love 5Dimes and Reduced Juice bonus

[playersonly69]

This poster needs to take the bonus now while it is offered. Then he can send money to 5dimes next week.


It takes a LONG TIME to make the reduced juice worth as much as a $100 free play. Months for some gamblers

true
the true value of a $100 freeplay isn't $100
it's about $85 IF you know how to optimise freeplays, less than $50 if you don't

also true. whats the rollover? 5x in wagered?

[Onefreedm1nd]

5Dimes all the way unless you get a nice bonus

[Speedy88]

Sounds like 5dimes is the better site. I'm only putting $100 in. I think I'm going to start with Bet Jamaica and get that $100 free play, and then if I can transfer funds I will.

BTW, does anyone know if you have to play the $100 free play all on one bet, or you can break it up and use small amounts on many bets? Basically, how does it work?

you can spread it over several bets

[ryanjep]

5d is the way to go imo

[Speedy88]

Wow, that makes it tough. I know the reduced juice is good in the long run, but it is hard to pass up a free $100. As good as 5D sounds, I think I'm going to go with BetJam. I just can't see myself passing up on $100. But like most people said, it will probably be gone so it will be a moot point.
