    5dimes is a joke

    just made a wager on a college game for saturday. Accidentally chose the under when i meant to choose the over. I noticed it a minute after I placed it. Customer service wouldn't help me at all. I understand that it was my fault and I understand if the line changes but cmon... I'm just asking to switch the bet. If the line changes in between me doing so then so be it. Poor customer service on 5dimes part.

    I would just double up on the over but I'm spread thin this weekend on a lot of games that are after the game I am having issues with.

    Anyone have any advice (besides me not being an idiot and checking my bets before)?

    Any recommendations on a more customer friendly book?

    Didn't change, if it did change in my favor I would still take the original line. If it changed in their favor I would take the new line... they weren't willing to work with me at all.

    Just bet what you wanted and cancel it out....hell wait until kickoff. It may move 2 pts and you could pull the miracle middle and screw 5 dimes.

    Called and won't change it...

    I understand that it is my fault and they have changed one prior bet before, but I feel it is poor customer service not to help me out. Maybe it's just me.

    Does anyone know of any other books with better customer service?

    Hmmm, well considering they changed a prior bet before I have to side with them. Why should they work extra because you can't place a proper bet? Imagine if they did it all the time. It would stress resources. I've never tried to change a bet. If you took the wrong side and felt strongly about it, then bet the other side and pay the juice. Tough lesson but obviously not enough for you to make the same mistake twice.

    This reminds me of a sign I saw in a ladies cube at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It said... "a mistake on your part does not constitute an act of God on my part".

    Just keep your bet. More than likely it will now hit.

    Funny I did the same thing in tennis, thought I picked Simon but picked Isner, glad I did because Isner won, but I remember a couple years ago when I picked the Hornets spread at Minnesota and didnt feel comfortable about the bet and wanted to cancel the bet, they said no cancelling but they would put the money on Minnesota if I wanted, I just left it alone and Paul makes the game winning basket so that worked out. Sometimes thought I place bets and just know I picked a certain team, but check the wager and its the opposite like they switched it or something, strange.

    I think I am the only one that uses Linesmaker on this forum but the customer service is above 5 star.

    It is my fault but they don't have to be ***** to their customers.

    and I'm not asking for an act of God, simple change of wager will do.

    5 Dimes has the worst customer service ....a few of my boys use to play there....and have left....the casino has always been suspect....and there have been many complaints...

    There are so many good books out there...no reason to deal with this garbage... not a good reputation at all...

    go find another book...ridiculous for them not to change that...not on a thursday...go find another book...

    That's standard protocal at most books that all wagers are final. If they were to allow changing bets, it would create a huge headache for the books. The lesson is you broke it, you bought it. 5 Dimes is a solid book, and there is nothing unusual about their position.

    I cant belive u acctaully write this in a forum all bets a final, u confirm it your self ,and its written in their rules.

    If they start changing a lots of bets, people will abuse it. And all 5dimes c.s. would be busy helping people that makes wrong bets, in stead of people really need it. So im happy 5dimes say no change bets.

    Sorry for your mistake, but u just have to live with it, and learn from it.

    Maybe it's Murphy's Law or something, but anytime I've changed a bet, I ended up losing. Stick with the ticket you have. Or bet it the other way and swallow the vig.

    Heritage cancels bets for me all the time and days after I place them as long as line is the same as will BetIslands cancels too, but you have to do it within 15 minutes.
