I thought 5Dimes had more wagering choices than almost any other book (for U.S.)???

    They don't even carry the major handball leagues in Europe. They didn't have lines up today for the Europe Baltic League Basketball game, no Israel SuperLeague basketball lines, etc.

    Even though these are no way considered "major" sports I'm surprised they don't have lines for these when I got used to them elsewhere.

    Is this usual or perhaps overlooked for today???

      I had no idea Darts and Volleyball were huge in the U.S. market(which they have lines up for). They carry other European games but seem to be neglecting some of the other major ones.

      Oh and I forget to mention they have Cricket lines too...so that must be huge in Mississippi.

      All jokes aside I was just wondering if that was the norm or just not on the board today.

        I'm pretty sure I've seen handball there before.....they probably just don't offer it on every game

          fair enough. I think there was only one major European game today so perhaps they didn't bother.

          maybe it varies day to day how many European Basketball games they cover since it's not a top priority

            Yeah I've seen handball offered too. No fukkin clue when it's offered though

            The CS agents are almost always clueless there, especially about non major sports, but chat and ask about the game u were wanting to bet.its a Longshot but u might get lucky

              so your logic is, if they offer one obscure sport/game they must offer them all?



              they probably get so little action on these games that its too risky to post lines or just not worth their time

                Whenever you cant find what you are looking for, contact them and tell the what is you are trying to get, they will put it up for you if they can.

                  SportsMushroom is fukking idiot, so just ignore him.

                  He called cricket "an obscure sport" where as worldwide it may very well be the second most popular sport after soccer.

                  Like others said, if you know of a game coming up just ask them if they will have a line on it.

                                it's an example of something they didn't offer which other books did. Was wondering if they carried the major European leagues or not. Nobody is mad at 5Dimes or NEEDING handball. Just an example.

                                Don't mistake asking a question for being mad.
