Resolved: 5dimes just robbed me of my entire balance7

thank you sbr for your help. I have never past posted with any wagers before with 5dimes, the only other wagers canceled in my account were due to scratches - so if a wager is canceled doesn't mean its past posted. I was betting horse racing everyday at betislands and never once had an issue with their racebook. Long story short, Becky will be sending the payout to me for the account balance. None of the wagers I won were past posted. I am just happy this was resolved.

This.
Forum is filled with ignorant posters who instantly try to justify attempted theft by a sportsbook.
5mike5 - "after we see what the truth really was...."
You have no idea what the truth is.
You only know what 5 Dimes claims they have a suspicion of.

thanks scooter. It's okay if 5 dimes wants to justify their actions. The fact remains if I did not contact SBR i would not have my funds , all of which was won legitimately and nothing to do with any canceled wagers or past post wagers. I thought i was left in the dark and had no way of getting any of of money. I am so glad sbr was able to get to the bottom of this and get me the money owed. I will be forever grateful for this site and the people who work here.

Before they won, now we're back to they never won.

Then he ends up giving Marco a few hundred bucks back, is out nothing, looks like a good guy by giving the guy his money back and helps a friend rebuild his websites image by going to battle with an affiliate book and siding with the player

It is known "fact" by all that if you are consistently withdrawing money from your "winning" account,
you are then automatically listed as a liability to the participating book and "will" severely be limited in wager size,
or be placed under a microscope unfairly looking for any excuse to to close you existing account.........
Books are in business because of "donating or losing players only" which are 90+ % of all gamblers, plain&simple..........

A book can close any account they wish for any reason they want even if it is not the truth.........
If you are in the 90+% you have nothing to worry about..............

I meant none of the wagers I won legitimately from any other race at Australia were past posted, which was confirmed by their head of customer service , rommel, and tony.
Thank you sbr for your help again. It is very much appreciated.

If you continue to repeat this line over and over it's really going to start to seem as if Kraken nailed it from the get-go.

He's saying that risk management is different at different books. Withdrawing money means nothing to some books. Others just want to see what you bet, not whether you are winning or losing.

Is it just me or does 5Dimes seem to have a hell of a time lately managing basic aspects of their book?
CS agents giving wrong info a lot, "supervisors" approving wagers then taking it back weeks later, consistently keeping lines up after the events have gone off...etc.
I know they offer a lot of wagering options so it makes it more difficult.. it just seems they keep shooting themselves in the foot and Tony always wants to distribute blame to only the customer.
Just saying...

I know two different sharps that have or had 6-figure balances. Both had limits severely cut. For what that is worth, it is positive.

Pauly you got the quote from justin7 where it pertain to betonline which to me is a book I would not play at and also where they still have not paid a poster $15000 . At a real book if you a "old school" bettor..do t matter what your balance is. ...you will not get limit

All will be well again. Betislands has enough to pay anyone on this forum their full balance if needed.
I too have a withdrawal pending.
I would be willing to pay 50% off your balance if anyone on this forum is too scared and wants to transfer their betislands money. $500 cash for $1000 betislands. Ill put my money where my mouth is

Your ticket wager is time stamped and the official results tell when the race went off.
Not rocket science here people.

Post some screenshots to prove that there was even a dispute and that you were truly helped. When Tony takes that stance, he often doesn't reverse for nobody...including SBR. This is really sounding like a hoax.

Pauly- Your original statement didn't post a thing about being a pro. You posted about frequent withdraws. Non-pros can get lucky and win at a book. That doesn't mean he's profiled as a pro.
