    Great convo with the hardass CEO from 5dimes

    I bet a bad line on Nova -155 (should have been -260).


    When it was voided, i chatted 5dimes and was quickly transferred to Tony who i'm assuming is the CEO of 5dimes. What ensued was a funny little conversation in which tony got some of those internet muscles we all see from time to time here on sbr forum...


    Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'Tony'.
    You are now chatting with 'Tony'
    Tony: your nova -155 wager in reduced juice has been voided
    Tony: as it was a clear line error
    Me: how is that a "clear line error?"
    Tony: you want to question me again, and i take away reduced juice from me
    Tony: OR
    Tony: you want to say "i understand"
    Tony: can go both ways
    Tony: * and i take away reduced juice from your account
    Tony: choice is yours
    Me: yea not really sure what you're saying
    Tony: clear line error
    Tony: when we have -155 on a main line
    Tony: -155 on reduced
    Me: ok so instead of getting hard with me, tell me what the correct line was
    Tony: and -260/+220 on the main line
    Tony: -260 or -265 was the correct line
    Tony: no doubt a line error
    Me: see how easy that was? now i can say "i understand"
    Tony: very good
    Tony: your account will back on in 2 minutes
    Me: sounds good, thanks for the feedback


    Of course i knew i bet a bad line but it was pretty funny to see how mad he was that he fukked up.

    By the way, this of course will be a one time thing. I'm well aware of what they could do to my account.

    Why did you give them the opportunity to 'freeroll you'?

    He was probably pissed at all the bets he had to cancel, and complaints he had to field because of the mistake.

    I went fairly small on nova -6.

    Pinnacle was juicing st. john's first half +3 while other books were nova -3.5/4. So this start isn't that much of a surprise. I still think they will cover.

    I've had a few phone conversations with Tony before he went to mostly using live chat. He comes across the same way on the phone. The one thing I can say about the guy is he is fair. Always has been to me anyway. I would probably be a prick too if I had to deal with all of the douchebag degenerates he has to. At least you are talking to the HNIC at 5dimes.

    If you don't want to deal with douchebags, don't go into the bookie business. It seems that simple to me. I do enjoy reading Tony stories.

    I don't think Tony is the CEO. I think he's just the main guy. Tony acts like a hard ass anytime you speak to him. A real prick. You got lucky it was canceled though.

    I've had some quite rational conversations with Tony. If you show him respect/intelligence you get the same in return; if you act like a moron (not referring to the OP specifically) well I have no sympathy...

    It is quite usefull info knowing what type of person "Tony" is at 5Dimes. You can deal with his character to get this worked out. Just massage his ego. I find the Pinnacle people with their useless email customer service far harder to deal with.

    If he gets wind of this post kiss your reduced juice goodbye.

    He will now know you lied to him and are laughing at him by posting your chat with him on a public forum.

    You should only post these types of things as a last resort or if you know your reduced juice is gone for good.

    You are risking your RJ there for no reason,you may want to consider deleting it.
