    There's some complaints about 5Dimes but these are usually about casino, betting bad/loose lines. Never had any problems with 5Dimes (except limits). My friends didn't had a problem with 5Dimes either. The only downside is, you won't use them too long if you're a winning player, they cut your limits after some time. My bet size is limited to 100$ in soccer. My 500$ reduced juice limit (for US Sports) is also reduced but it's not a big problem, I place other % of my action at other books. Even if they limit me to 50$ one day, I will still remember them as a "good" book.

    Use them 'til they show you the door.

      I have no worries whatsoever about keeping a decent balance at 5Dimes.

            They are solid. I don't see you having any issues there anytime soon.

              With their skimpy bonuses they really have to screw up bad to not be making mega buck.

                I took about 5 years off from them but with Matchbook down I am back. Overall I'm very pleased as I was in the past.

                  Then what is the point of your stupid post?

                  You lost over 7k in a casino game and Tony gave it back to you. I'd shut down your account as well.

                    And I'm not the only one that doesn't get the point of your post.

                      if 50 Dimes lets you have 50k in there, then Im sure they feel comfy with you having it there.

                        etc
                        What rank unprofessionalism from this moron. He obviously sees himself as a internet warrior, talking tough behind the safety of his computer. But what an astonishing way to disrespect customers.

                        He should be cleaning floors, not running a book.

                              5dime is a good book in general. Name me another -105 NFL book that is on the same level for US players.

                                clark: hi
                                Tony: allow me a moment to pull up your account
                                clark: ok
                                Tony: ok, i need to confirm the amount you lost on the game in question
                                Tony: one moment
                                clark: $7231
                                clark: oh ok
                                Tony: i show $7029.50
                                clark: oh
                                clark: ok well thats possible
                                Tony: now its a matter if you want that amount, or you want to negotiate an amount that we agree upon to keep your account open
                                clark: I would like that amount, and you can bar me from ever playing video poker again if thats what you want
                                Tony: we will be closing your account
                                Tony: completely
                                clark: May I ask why?
                                clark: Nevermind
                                Tony: we honored all the winnings from other players other than the winnings derived from using robot players
                                clark: I was prepared to reason but I think id rather just get out of this industry
                                clark: You arent seriously suggesting I am being unfair are you
                                Tony: for what i deem recreational players, I felt the need to make them not feel "mishandled" in the situation
                                clark: You know I give you a lot of action and it fair
                                Tony: yes, actually i am
                                clark: its
                                Tony: but if you feel the need to press the issue, i'd rather handle this in a proper manner and be rid of you
                                clark: I understand
                                Tony: as if i had not given anyone anything, i would have been far better off
                                Tony: and you would be receiving nothing
                                Tony: as all other players that won playing this game had their winnings honored
                                Tony: and its clear you have no issue playing gave that were at or slightly above the 100% mark
                                clark: Not to disrespect, but I had and have no way of knowing that
                                Tony: i personally think you should have been happy with "half"
                                Tony: and your account open
                                Tony: but the choice lies in your hands
                                clark: And feel I shouldnt be excluded because I hit four deuces on 25 hands and got a lucky share of royal flushes
                                clark: I feel like i'm at a used car lot
                                Tony: the world is always up for negotiation
                                Tony: you asked what i thought "fair" was
                                Tony: and i told you
                                clark: Tony just give me the 7029.50
                                Tony: not a problem
                                Tony: how do you want your account settled?
                                clark: After looking at my sportsbook action you seriously dont want me there?
                                clark: What are my options?
                                Tony: someone who's willing to take $7029.50 in money they lost, when we honored all the "non-robot" winnings is just greedy
                                Tony: your options *************** payouts and cashier's checks fed-ex
                                Tony: the max on the cashier's checks is $3000 per check
                                clark: Cashier's checks will be fine
                                clark: Please just credit my account and I will make the withdrawals.
                                Tony: ok, one will be processed at least every monday until your balance is settled
                                Tony: your account will be blocked
                                clark: How about I take $7000 and u still take my sports action
                                Tony: so all transactions will be handled by accounting until your balance is zero
                                Tony: wow, giving up $29.50
                                Tony: how kind of you
                                clark: What do you propose
                                Tony: and i'm called the greedy one
                                Tony: nice one
                                Tony: "half"
                                clark: I didn't do anything wrong here
                                Tony: and neither did i
                                Tony: as you and all the others that were credited really have $0 coming to them
                                clark: You said you were paying back people, you said you would pay me back, and then said you wouldn't because I was ahead overall and a good player.
                                Tony: isn't that my choice of who i want to "take care of"
                                Tony: some people get better bonuses than others
                                Tony: so people get huge cash back awards
                                Tony: *some people
                                clark: We have a different definition for bonus then
                                Tony: i felt a need to make sure a long list of clients were taken care of
                                Tony: you were not on that list
                                clark: because I'm a winner
                                clark: *winning*
                                Tony: but it was mistakenly reported that "all" were going to get this cancellation of lost wagers
                                Tony: absolutely correct
                                Tony: you're "net ahead"
                                clark: what a sin
                                Tony: and its not $29.50 you're ahead
                                clark: I didn't sign up to be behind
                                Tony: and i'm not keeping you around if you want "it all"
                                clark: You're an interesting guy Tony
                                Tony: in the end, there will be only a few offshore outfits left, and you won't be playing at this one
                                clark: If you predict as well as you run a casino I wouldn't bet on it
                                clark: Sorry
                                clark: I shouldn't make this personal
                                Tony: i'm making it personal
                                clark: Yes Tony that's fine just pay me in checks
                                Tony: i didn't ask for your opinion
                                Tony: but if you want to go there, i think i'm slightly more qualified to know who's going to be left and who's not
                                Tony: but of course with all your forum knowledge, and incredible mathematical skills, you have to be far more qualified to make such predictions
                                Tony: account is closed
                                clark: $7029 plus $16,939 balance
                                Tony: credit will be done
                                Tony: glad to be rid of you
                                Tony: correct
                                Tony: i'd wish you luck, but since you're so smart, you don't need it
                                Tony: so "good day"
                                clark: Please don't make me have to pursue this more
                                clark: Ok Tony
                                clark: Later
                                Tony: your next check will be issued on monday, as you already had a check this week sent

                                      I'm fairly new to 5dimes, but so far I'm loving it there. Great lines, and easy deposit for Americans.

                                                    As safe as can be in this climate.

                                                    But for the serious US punter, playing offshore in this climate is like playing golf in a lightning storm and trying to stay focused on your game.

                                                      Why do people that have been around for a while ask about 5dimes? They are rated A+. If you have no confidence in SBR ratings, why are you here?

                                                        Take no stock into SBR ratings or any books ratings. Just ask covers see how they are doing.
