    I emailed my decision to Tony. Now we wait. I chose to cancel all correlated ifs.

    At this point my account was reset to 300 which the note says was my balance before the first RIF was made. A far stretch from 950. Trying to get somebody to talk to me about it on the phone. Keep yall posted.

    The WILL NOT FOR ANY REASON allow you to speak to Becky or Tony on the phone. Live chat is the only option. Anybody know why they are too important to speak to you about the money you deposit into their book?

    Trying to get one of them on live chat now to ask why they reset me to 300 instead of letting me take the offer Tony made.

    OK so I got Tony on live chat and told him Becky placed my balance at 300 and he said it was my balance before the correlated RIF wagers. He said after she did the math I kept ending up negative so he gave me the 300. I didnt agree with the math so we went over the plays 1 at a time. 434 wagers. I ended up right and got 700 instead of 300 and he gave me LIFETIME DOUBLE BONUSES and any other reward option they have FOR LIFE. He made up for all this I would say. He did offer to let me keep the 250 instead and all go back to normal but after he convinced me the other deal was better I took it. I just felt like lifetime double bonuses on losses v/s cash in my account is like saying in advance I am gonna lose. But at the end of the day we all know we gotta lose sometime. If you read the chat you will enjoy some of our talk. Tony stayed cool and I did too. I kissed a little but a few times but after all I did break a rule but did so UNKNOWINGLY. Read the chat log and enjoy. Tony is not always an ass. He was very fair in my case I think. Glad I stayed cool because I was pissed yesterday. At least I got my 700 instead of the 300 Becky put in my account. It all worked out and I absolutely reccomend this book to anybody.

    Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    You are now chatting with 'Luigi'
    Luigi: Hello. How may I assist you today?
    steve: I was told to contact Becky
    steve: xxxxxxxxxx
    Luigi: Let me check if she is available
    Luigi: My apologies but the operations manager is not online anymore.
    steve: OK I can also deal with Tony. He also knows what is going on. They said to contact either one.
    Luigi: Ok
    Luigi: I am checking with him please bare with me
    steve: ok great.
    Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'Tony'.
    You are now chatting with 'Tony'
    Tony: greetings
    Tony: becky was going over your account
    Tony: i'll have to review what she did with it
    Tony: give me a moment please
    steve: Hey Tony I tried since we talked last night to get back with you
    steve: ok
    Tony: well, i do sleep
    Tony: so that has to happen sometime
    steve: It seems she reset it to 300 instead of letting me accept the offer you gave me.
    Tony: well, you were zero
    Tony: then she and i went over it this morning
    steve: i know youre a busy guy and almost every player wants to talk to you
    Tony: and checked all the net deposits and payouts since you started making these plays
    Tony: it was determined that no matter how we added you up
    Tony: with voiding correlated plays
    Tony: or voiding the correlated and the original
    Tony: nothing would get you positive
    Tony: but before you started making all these plays, you made a $300 deposit
    Tony: and your payouts exceeded your deposits by $150
    steve: I must be really adding wrong because most of the plays I found were losses or no action
    Tony: but you paid about $150 in fees for those payouts
    Tony: then you really are adding wrong
    Tony: i'll just give you why we came up with the number we did
    Tony: then we'll start adding
    steve: ok cool
    Tony: so if you had never found any of these correlated plays, and we look at all your other play, you lost
    Tony: so we're going to wipe absolutely everything
    Tony: as there's no way to find a block of wagers that were winners
    Tony: and reset you to where you were when you deposited
    Tony: as since that deposit, the payouts and deposits are almost identical
    Tony: so
    Tony: next thing we need to go is go thru why you end up negative on all the plays
    steve: The biggest reason this happened is because when i wager from a smart phone you cant see all the teams on the plays you have to choose from
    Tony: would you like to start from the oldest play or the newest play?
    steve: and because i didnt know it was against the rules. i just let the system be the boss because yall have more wagering options than anywhere on the planet.
    steve: the oldest is good
    Tony: well, in this case, the system had an error in it
    Tony: ok, oldest play
    Tony: if i'm not mistaken its from 8/25
    steve: yes
    Tony: teaser with balitmore ravens
    Tony: to the ravens in the 2nd half
    Tony: you were +59.52 on that one
    Tony: and the subsequent RIF would have action, as it is if win or push
    Tony: of course we can do this two different ways
    steve: right
    Tony: as we can also void anything correlated (the original wager and the correlated)
    Tony: for our purposes, we'll void only the correlated on this run
    steve: ok
    Tony: and if that gets into the negative, we'll start again with voiding everything
    Tony: so i'll be numbering these with a running tab of wins and losses
    Tony: 1) +59.52
    steve: gotcha
    Tony: going thru them to find the next one
    steve: me too
    Tony: let me know if you find one before i do
    Tony: 8/27
    Tony: seattle denver over 27 in a teaser
    Tony: to seattle denver over 16.5 in 2nd half
    Tony: won $45.45
    Tony: 1) +59.25 /// 2) +45.45
    steve: Is that really correlated because you can win one but lose the other
    Tony: if you bet over
    Tony: and you correlate it to over
    Tony: and it is 100% correlated
    steve: ok
    steve: the next i think is on 9/5
    Tony: working my way there
    steve: 46.34 win on maryland 1st half off of maryland for the game in a parlay
    steve: is that correlated even though other teams are in the parlay?
    Tony: yes it is
    Tony: i just haven't gotten there yet
    Tony: 1 day away
    steve: ok sorry
    steve: Tony I am a good customer who is a lifetime loser. You gotta know I didnt do this on purpose or I would have racked up right?
    Tony: marland 1st half correlated to maryland for the game
    steve: yes thats it
    Tony: and maryland 2nd half correlates to maryland game
    Tony: 1) +59.25 /// 2) +45.45 /// 3) +66.69
    Tony: yes, but on purpose or not, these are getting voided
    steve: even though other teams have to win on the parlay
    Tony: the parlay is a winner
    Tony: you get the $201.46
    Tony: you just don't get the attached plays as action
    Tony: as they are correlated
    Tony: you get to keep the original plays
    Tony: if that works out better for you
    Tony: all i'm concerned with is the correlated plays
    steve: correct
    Tony: then if it works better for you to void the correlated plays and the original plays, then you can do that as well
    Tony: and if it works better to start with $300, we'll do that
    steve: gotcha
    Tony: as that would be voiding absolutely everything, correlated or not
    Tony: all these options, you get the one that works best for you
    steve: 9/8 is the next on saints
    steve: 79.05
    Tony: yes
    Tony: got it
    Tony: caught up
    Tony: 1) +59.25 /// 2) +45.45 /// 3) +66.69 /// 4) +79.05
    steve: saints 2nd half off of saints in a teaser. Saints were losing at the half so I was just betting more on them effectively
    Tony: but if one specific one of the two wins, the other one cannot lose
    Tony: that is what makes it correlated
    steve: you can see i made that bet off every play i had pending because you cant see the pending teams when wagering on your smart phone
    Tony: we'll go over the exact issue there on the smart phone
    steve: i chose every play it listed because i couldnt read them to see which was gonna be a winner
    steve: ok cool
    Tony: and i'll work on a design for you specifically where that issues is corrected
    Tony: for now, we're just adding up plays
    Tony: working on finding the next one now
    steve: me too
    steve: didnt happen alot just when i used the phone i will bet
    steve: Thats all i found and no more pages to check
    steve: so that is roughly 250
    Tony: ok, i'm continuing
    steve: I can live with giving back the 250 but its hard to give up 600
    Tony: understood, and i agree
    Tony: so when we get done checking
    Tony: we'll go over all the options
    Tony: let me just make sure there are no more
    steve: ok no problem and thanks for being fair about this
    Tony: least i can do for a software error on our end
    Tony: $250.44
    steve: yes thats what i have too
    Tony: ok
    Tony: now the options
    steve: i will eat the 250
    Tony: you might not
    Tony: as these are some pretty good chocies
    Tony: *choices
    Tony: but we'll see
    Tony: 1) I forget then entire thing, the deduction is eliminated (you remain on the "cash back program")
    Tony: 2) The deduction of $250.44 is enforced, you are given the opportunity for "lifetime" to have two rewards options. That would be any of the following: "Free play awards & Cash Back" OR "30% super saver & Cash Back" OR "Doubled Cash Back"
    Tony: or any other combo of two 5Dimes rewards programs
    steve: option 1 i get my 650 back and all goes back to normal right?
    steve: what id doubled cash back?
    Tony: on 9/13 you had an available balance of $950
    Tony: you had a total of $650 taken away
    Tony: that $650 would be returned
    Tony: in doing that, you only have "standard cash back program"
    Tony: as that in effect would be honoring all plays, even correlated ones
    steve: that is perfect and I apologize for making the mistake.
    Tony: not sure about your question regarding "double cash back"
    steve: I will be more careful and wont bet rolling ifs on teams that are in the same state.
    steve: option 1 is great for me because i usually bet with my money and not bonus cash because of the 30 day hold
    Tony: there is no 30 day hold on cash back awards
    Tony: its your cash
    Tony: you can do with it what you want
    steve: i mean on free play bonuses
    Tony: i can make the free play awards have no restrictions
    Tony: including no rollover, and well as no 30 day rule
    Tony: so they would be made available immediately on qualifying deposits
    steve: option 1 is still the best for me i think
    Tony: i completely disagree
    Tony: but its your choice
    Tony: as i don't give double bonuses all that often
    Tony: as one is $250.44
    Tony: the other are award options for life
    Tony: but we'll go with whichever one you want
    steve: just 1 question, how did Becky come up with the negative number today and my balance become 300
    Tony: i came up with $300
    Tony: as that amount is what you deposited before all this started
    steve: oh ok i was just wondering
    Tony: as for your account being negative, i don't know, she isn't here
    Tony: but she was told that if i was not available, she was to go thru every single play with you, one by one
    steve: its ok we worked it out and both of us are happy
    Tony: so you really want the $250.44 rather than double rewards for life?
    steve: and i still have my account at your book. Yall have 10x more wagering options than any other book which is why i play there
    steve: can i sleep on it and email you
    Tony: i'm going to put you on double rewards for life
    Tony: if you change your mind in the next 24 hours, you contact us, and the adjustment will be made
    steve: OK thanks again Tony.
    Tony: then you'll be on standard rules cash back, and $250.44 will be applied to your account
    Tony: also, you've got that same 24 hours to choose the two plans you want
    Tony: for now you'll be on double cash back
    Tony: so if a cash back award is 15%
    Tony: you will get 30%
    steve: So the other 400 will go back in tonight?
    Tony: any amount will be doubled
    Tony: as soon as we conclude the chat, the adjustment will be made on the remaining funds
    steve: Thats probably the best choice. Double rewards for life is great but its like admitting to myself i am gonna lose at some point
    steve: we all lose at some point
    Tony: well, then you need to read over the "30% super saver"
    Tony: as a lot of customers really like that one
    steve: Ok great. Glad this is all worked out.
    Tony: as it was designed for parlay and RIF players
    Tony: your credit has been applied
    steve: I will read it after dinner
    Tony: if i were you, i'd probably choose that one to add
    Tony: as better prices always give you a better chance to win
    steve: Thanks for being fair. Alot of guys bash you but I have always found you to be fair.
    Tony: and all those better prices apply on parlay payouts, and work in RIF plays
    Tony: i'm an asshole
    Tony: but i like to think i'm a fair asshole
    steve: I am too
    steve: both
    Tony: in my opinion, not a bad thing to be
    steve: Talk to you again later. Tell Becky thanks for her time too
    Tony: as i'm not out to win any popularity contests
    steve: goodnight to you
    Tony: not a problem
    Tony: good night
    Tony: i'll be around until the LSU game ends tonight
    Tony: becky is off tomorrow
    Tony: i'll be back in the office around 7pm tomorrow for the college football
    Tony: eastern
    steve: ok thanks man

    Nice to see a situation resolved amicably; that is overwhelmingly my experience offshore but it often seems that only the contentious/aggressive ones get reported here.

    But he made it up to me after he actually viewed all the wagers and saw I was right and I got my cash refunded.

    Yeah, good you got a decent result BTH. But rather than praising Tony for his ulturism I'd be looking at how he acted off the bat. He knew HE had fvcked up and was always going to do this before you even said a word... but still he tried to keep talking at you like you were the one taking a shot at him.

    And then HE cocked up again and could not even calculate his own "good offer" correctly. Making you go through all that effort twice to explain the correct result.

    Most people would not have got their money here.

    Just calling it a massive pain in the ass is being kind toward 5 Dimes imho. And quite frankly this saga has decreased my faith in Tony to do the right thing more than threads where he refuses to pay people or gives them the leave or shut up choice.

    It's one thing drilling a customer who has obviously tried to take advantage, but this just looked like he was trying hard to make an innocent customer jump through hoops unfairly.

    At one time Tony was more than happy to chew your ass out over the phone but you are correct that he only uses Live chat now. Bubba is probably right that it is for documentation purposes. Also it allows Tony to be anywhere in the world and they are able to transfer the chats to him. I know one time I needed to chat and he was in Europe and they transferred it over. He was more than happy to tell me about it.

    I had 4 plays over a month or so that were in question for a total of 250 and the most blatant example was 2nd half Saints rolled from Saints +14 in a teaser and they were rolling at the half so I could have very easily lost the second half bet.

    I understand. I was trying to play it cool so I didnt lose my account or my money for something I didnt mean to do. The worst thing about the whole thing is that my balance was confiscated after assuming I did it and had more wins than the 950 balance. I told him I had different figures than Becky and he immediately said I was wrong but after we went through it all I WAS RIGHT. That is why he gave me the concessions he did. Glad I was able to prove my case and get my money back.

    Also sorry I am late answering these. I left Friday for Oklahoma at FSU,and then went to Mets at Braves,and then saw Eagles at Falcons. Great weekend for sports. I needed it bad.

    No one in their right mind thinks Cory used a bot, and he'd already fulfilled the rollover many times over so a bot wouldn't even help him "abuse the bonus offer."

    I think the same but Tony made it all OK and gave my money back. I have since taken 2 withdrawls for double the amount.

First 12
