    I haven't used 5dimes in well over a year and out of nowhere they sent me $125 in sportsbook freeplays, which is quite awesome, did anyone else get this as well? Seems to almost to good to be true... should I be wary of this, or am I paranoid?

    Also how should I use it, what do you guys usually do with freeplays? I'm thinking of just putting it all on a massive favorite with like -1000 odds... good idea? or is there a better way to go about this?

    If you put 125 on a -1000 fav youd get back 12.50. Whats the point of that? Put it on a dog +200 or higher so you get something back.

      well, I know I wouldn't exactly be winning much, but I would like to change the freeplay money into real money with not much risk

        the freeplay money will never become real money. Only the amount won on your freeplay wager is turned into real money.

        If you wager 125 for 12.50 and win... The freeplay balance will become 0 and your cash balance will become 12.50. if you want $12 that badly go for it.

              I see what you mean now, I definitely won't use it like this in that case.

                5dimes does this every now and then if your account is in the red and you haven't played in awhile. I got $100 from them years ago, my account was like $4000 down.

                          i thought the best way to use free play is to play 3 teams ats parlay and cover all 4 possible outcomes. That way you can get more than 80% of the original amount.

                              It is the best way. However it's 8 possible outcomes, not 4.

                                  bet 125 $ free bet on oklahoma to win odds 3.05 (u will win 256 $) and bet in the other side 176$ on san antonio win (u will win 79$)
                                  In case of oklahoma win (256 - 176 = 80$ win)
                                  In case of san antonio win **(176 x 1.45) - 176 = 255 - 176 = 79$ win**
                                  * Its a free bet so you cant take the stake back in case of win so if you want sure bet this is the max profit u can have!

                                            well, they sent me an email saying "heres a 'welcome back' freeplay of $125" along with a reminder of my account number... and yes... I am in the red at 5dimes, I'd guess somewhere around $500-$600.

                                            the freeplay also came with a disclaimer that both sides of any game can't be played otherwise the whole thing is forfeited
                                            so far I haven't used much of it yet, mostly just betting ridiculous parlays (like $3 to win $500 kind of deal), thinking about going big on the thunder...

                                                    that's what I was wondering also. How does anyone get down and owe an offshore book? As soon as balance is $0.00 you can't bet

                                                      Don't remember what happened but I struggled back in 2009 couldn't buy a win and just keep reloading. Sorry were all not lifetime winners like you. Perhaps if I said I was up 50K lifetime you would be more impressed. Will remember that next time, sir

                                                        If I deposit is a total of $4000 over a course of a season or year and don't cash out I am $4000 in a the red. Obviously you can't bet on a credit at 5dimes. Bad runs happen all part of the game

                                                          You made it sound like you were betting on credit by saying you were down 4k. That shit happens to everybody, we just don't look at it as being 4k down.

                                                              Looks like parlayking is a real winner. he had to of been raised in a household full of love and self encouragement. Now he is a miserable individual because he has lost more money in his life than he is willing to admit. The worse part is not the lost money, but the fact that he has become disconnected from the family and people that once loved him.

                                                              Sadly, now he takes all his shame and self pitty out on a sports forum.
