    I like 5dimes personally, but have a downside of CS. They are also quick to cut limits if you win. Both are good books though.

    5Dimes is preferable for a smaller bettor. They have 5-cent overnights for MLB and gameday reduced vig for everything else. Winners will quickly have their reduced limits cut from $500 to $50, but if you're not betting big, that won't be an issue.

    If you're a larger bettor, you still might want to use 5Dimes first anyway to take advantage of the reduced vig while it lasts. BetJM also has low limits on overnights.

    Both are top notch and offer one free payout per month. They also offer free B2B transfers between them. My real answer would be to use both.

    Both are good...BetJam has better CS/Bonuses and 5Dimes has a lot more betting options as well as reduced juice option...can't go wrong with either

    does it need to be one OR the other ?

    why not BOTH ?

    the more books you have available to you the better

    Are any of you guys noticing any problems with 5dimes? Personally theyre my favorite and I've never had a problem with their cs or anything (I also bet small though like 25-100). I took a break from betting and I want to deposit 1200-1500 but within a few weeks I don't want to see they've been shut down. I've been hearing some not so good stuff about the government and 5dimes and a few of my friends have been saying the site has been horrible lately.

    5Dimes was recently fighting a DDOS attack (google it if you don't know what it is). This caused the site to be unavailable at times. It had nothing to do with any government.

    I was debating the same thing a couple months ago, 5Dimes or BetJam. I ended up going with BetJam because of the $100 free play with a $100 deposit. Overall, the book isn't bad for simple bets. But if you are looking for props and futures, go with 5Dimes.

    Bet Jam is good if you only play the main 4 sports and don't mind getting late lines.
