    Seriously, what is the point of that post? Do you think it's of any help to him to bite the only hand that might help him?

    And I'm sure you will post in it. Calling one party or the other corrupt and contemptible repeatedly. ;-)
    My bad. Typically when someone posts ... it means end the thread . I read more into than I should've, I apologize.

      I was not calling sbr shady corrupt and unfair I'm speaking of the situation as a whole! I pointed out 5d possibly not sharing important info with sbr and that is why they feel the way they do on this case! I do not know what information sbr has obtained yet that is why I continually state that I'm assuming they have yet to review important facts giving them the benifit of a doubt.As to unfair I said that all this is unfair to me anD again that's the situation as a whole. If I ever come off as being frustrated and upset that's because I am. If I had a more personal outlet to vent or communicate I would but I have not had the chance to speak with a single sbr mod. I would love to stop having to put everything out here for all to see and take care of this in a more private manner!

        Unless I'm missing something it seems obvious Dan's getting no help from SBR and with that said I see nothing wrong with him pointing out a clear double standard. When Corey's mom (likely Corey himself) withheld certain documents that SBR deemed essential to that case, SBR contended that those actions proved Corey's mom was hiding something that would hurt her case. So now the shoes on the other foot and SBR is trying tooth and nail to bury this case and move on without releasing what many are asking to see. Why is that? Dan should demand answers unfortunately for him he has no recourse regardless of how badly SBR screws him.

          Funny you mention Cory. I was just thinking that the OP writes A LOT like Cory. It's also playing out just like Cory's debacles.

            mother of fukking god...dan and others, why do morons keep bashing sbr and keep crying about them not helping, etc? what dont you understand about tonys position here??? the only thing he sees is that someone was taking free shots with his books money... no arbitration is needed and the only thing he wants to hear is that his money will be paid back...thats not happening either...tony has made it clear that there is absolutely nothing, and i mean not a single fukking thing in the world, that sbr can do to help Dan or change tony's mind about this...you will never get the acct. opened and will never play there again under your real name...these are facts that you guys need to deal with... sbr could tell tony they are dropping his rating and dropping them altogether and tony would tell them to go fukk themselves and that sbr needs 5D much much more than he needs them...wont effect his business any...

            what im trying to say is get off sbr's dick...not every issue is one they can help with or have a say so...they dont have a say so in anything in this one...they arent going to push tony's buttons either.(nor should they) ... all the bitching and crying to and about sbr is beyond annoying now... dan, they couldnt help you if they wanted pal...

              I'm asking sbr to decide the case and do what they do. If every a graded book owner can throw a tantrum every time they make a mistake or somebody files a complaint against them and in turn that prevents sbr from doing their job, well u might as well just forfeit all ur rights as a player because that's what will happen.if something isn't done because tony won't abide by the ruling that's no reason to not settle the case. If I get fined and I say I won't pay the ticket it's still going on my record and if I do it again I may go to jail these are the consequences.I think tony does want a good name for his business. He would be foolish not to. Look at all the d and f books, they are not doing as well as a and b books I bet. If he refuses to pay ok that's been said but more can be done!

              As for the thread if u are sick of it then stop following it. It's that simple. I dont like gay porn so if it's on tv I don't watch it. When u see the thread pretend ur me and it's gay porn. Don't click on it!

                Looks to me like SBR made their decision. Time to accept the decision and move on.

                  If all of the things that you're implying here are true, you think players should just hush up, accept it, and continue sending their money to 5Dimes?

                    Great conclusion here! If SBR can't get a correct resolution to a dispute, it should just forget about the whole thing? There is no point to having dispute resolution then, is there. If SBR doesn't cause pain for a bookie that incorrectly applies its own rules on a player, it has effectively thrown away its role as mediator. Why would any book pay any attention to SBR's rulings? What are YOU going to do if a book screws you and SBR agrees with you but the book ignores SBR? Are you going to tell SBR to just forget about it? Or would you feel that, just perhaps, SBR should apply some pressure?

                      downgrade 5dimes to -D until this is settled and remove them from sponsor and recommended list if they do not pay up.
                      They do not have to pay, there are other bookies like wagerweb etc who pay who they want and keep the winnings when they want quoting mistakes made months ago and they were downgraded to something like D (too lazy to check)

                        I really don't know what should happen in this case, other than SBR ought to have an investigation and come up with a ruling. From what I have read, it sounds like the OP has a case --- and I am a big supporter of 5dimes.
                        However, Raydog's reasoning ( which seems to be in agreement with several other posters ) is just ridiculous. Why do we even bother to use SBR if we think that SBR should make rulings that have no consequences if ingored? That just amounts to a free ticket for any scam site.

                          This is a great post. It's a simple case. There doesn't need to be any more of an investigation. It's all out there. You either agree with 5Dimes or agree with Dan. Nothing more that is said or done is going to change anyone's stance at this point.

                            You can whine, cry, and stomp your feet all that you want but it makes no difference. For people that actually play at 5Dimes, they could care less what happens in this case. No one is going to stop depositing there. The people stating otherwise, had no intent in ever playing at 5Dimes.

                                haha, its not true for all cases and you know this...but tony thinks the guy stole from him and they both think they are owed money... if tony didnt think he was owed back money he already sent dan, then there might be hope for the kid to get something...but you arent going to make a deal with tony after he thinks he got fukked...

                                but to answer your question, there is nothing wrong with 5dimes and you know it too... your money is safe and they have more options than anyone for u.s players... the problem here is the pleaser money in question was never dans in the first place...well, $39 of it was.

                                dan, i like reading disputes and peoples posts on them...it helps us all learn a little bit...im trying to save you from making your headache even bigger...thats all...the faster that you let this go, the better you will feel... sbr can be very helpful at times and at others, their decisions can be completely irrelevant...this is one of those times... thats all.

                                  An excellent question........ or here is another: If he made the large wagers and lost after he ran up his account on ill-gotten funds, would 5dimes adjust his account to reflect a negative balance, and claim he owes money?

                                    From what Dan has said he called to verify the pleaser was priced correctly and twice was told yes, in my opinion that puts most of the blame and responsibility squarely on 5dimes and its employees but i'm going to take it a step further and play the hypothetical game for a minute. Lets say Dan makes the wager, realizes that the potential payout is screwy, calls 5Dimes to verify the wager and payout are correct and is told yes twice by what he believes are managers. All these things happened if Dans telling the truth, but what if instead of taking the 2 managers word for it Dan decided he wanted to cancel the wager because in his opinion the payout wasn't right regardless of what the 2 managers had told him. Then he asks 5Dimes to cancel the bet and if 5Dimes acts like most books do then they would very likely refuse the cancel request. Then the rest plays out like it has, what would the outcome be? Of course that is all a what if scenario but if it happened like that I don't see how 5Dimes could worm out of it.

                                      you mean 5d paying the guy 11k and others that have already exploited this mstake wasnt a consequence? gtfo

                                              unfortunately, you only hear of the disputes where the player is unhappy...if we heard every dispute where the player tries to scam the book somehow, you would never need to read another thread as long as you live... that is a fact.

                                                    I think that if a bookie books a bet then he must pay the winner. You are of the opinion that the bets after the winning teaser don't count. That is not 5dimes rule, or what Justin7 says should happen. So, a "fair" ruling would be for 5dimes to pay the OP his winnings, minus the extra payout received from the teaser. Then, the $11,000 is not a consequence, nor is the rest of the money.

                                                          im not going to pay (more than i already have) a player who has run up a balance with funds that werent his to gamble with and he received through mistake...but i do think tony has to do something about how pitiful his staff is...sure, the blame rests on their shoulders, but keep paying for my staffs mistake after it is found? nah, not going to happen...

                                                            im not going to pay (more than i already have) a player who has run up a balance with funds that werent his to gamble with and he received through mistake...but i do think tony has to do something about how pitiful his staff is...sure, the blame rests on their shoulders, but keep paying for my staffs mistake after it is found? nah, not going to happen...
                                                            of course players try to scam books but I am not sure what that has to do with this case? 5dimes rule is that all bets stand (after the first win) and they decided to ignore that rule that they made to protect themselves. That rule sums up who is scamming whom in this case. I pity the US gamblers if they have to accept this crap and continue to play at 5D

                                                              In my opinion, this is a pretty simple case. It amounts to this - what would happen in this situation?

                                                              1. player wins 3900 on mispriced pleaser
                                                              2. player places 3900 straight bet
                                                              3. player loses 3900 straight bet
                                                              4. 5Dimes realizes payout mistake on pleaser bet


                                                              What happens now? If 5Dimes adjusts his balance to negative 3900, then it's obvious he should win this dispute and the only thing that should happen to his current balance is that the 3900 is subtracted.

                                                              And according to 5Dimes own rules, it does sound like his account would have been adjusted to a negative balance.

                                                                so you pity the u.s. players because this one instance where, morally, the player is completely wrong for taking a wrong payout and running up a balance with money that didnt belong to him??? i understand books getting a bad reputation for telling players its their way or the highway, but rules or no rules, you cant sit there and tell me that because of human error, this guy deserves to get paid in full for a balance he ran up with money that didnt belong to him...

                                                                im not going to waste my time looking over all their rules today, but there must be something somewhere that will contradict the rule of them paying the other bets out...may be something raiders can do if he has time today.

                                                                    As for the secondary issues, a lot of great points have already been brought up in this thread.

                                                                    1. if this were a non-sponsor (think sportsbook.com), this dispute would be splashed all over the front page and any resolution would eventually be appended. Disputes with sponsors are treated differently. That only hurts the credibility of SBR and the sportsbook ratings in general.

                                                                    2. the player was threatened. This was totally ignored by SBR. SBR really dropped the ball on this point. As much as I love 5Dimes, this is worthy of a drop in ratings and a mention on the front page.

                                                                    3. Justin7 should resign from SBR. He has a good reputation in sports betting circles, but his association with SBR is hurting that.

                                                                    4. There is a clear conflict of interest here with a "watchdog" accepting affiliate/advertising money from books. Sadly, while SBR is clearly biased in this regard, they are still head and shoulders better than covers or any of those other clown sites.

                                                                      But no attempt was ever made to find out. Far from trying to find out, Bill didn't even understand the issue. How can he clarify things with 5Dimes or search for the relevant rules if he doesn't even understand the central issue? It's clear Justin7 is the only guy who works on dispute resolution who attempts to remain logically consistent, or who displays a thorough understanding of the industry.

                                                                      It's sad, but true.

                                                                        You're kidding right? If the above situation happened Tony would jam this guy for the $3900 and threaten him daily. So you think calling to make sure the price was correct would absolve Dan from owing money in the above example? If thats the case then it should also add credibility to his claim that 5Dimes take responsibility for the matter at hand.
