Bovada / 5 Dimes / Bookmaker

**relaaxx** · 01-20-14, 10:59 AM

short answer - 5dimes best of 3 - bookmaker second best - bovada not even in the running against these other 2.

What do you mean that the 5D race book is dumbed down? They have the best rebate program in the business, and a plus 10% book where you get 10% added to any winning wager. I would go with Bookmaker or 5D. Would stay away from Blowvada.

5dimes

Bovada is a VERY distant 3rd.

Caught Between the 3, I have played at the first two and really haven't had a complaint.. I also created a thread about Bovada and 5 Dimes a bit ago but want to throw Bookmaker in the mix.

I withdrew funds from both 5 Dimes and Bovada without incidents..I just have a couple questions as I am about to open up and start "investing"…stopping the "gambling"
For Poker I am open to hearing about depositing that money in a pure online poker site.

I have a smaller bankroll and was wondering what are you opinions on the three, I have a section divided for Poker, Sports, Horse Racing...

What I've noticed
Bovada has decent sports lines but are slow to put up, they major plus here is they offer Rugby Union games which is nice as it is a money maker of mine. HOWEVER, I have heard very negative things about their poker room, their race book is also nice and easy to follow. Nice website.

5Dimes, quick payout, bad website but reliable, quick and great sports lines, race book is a bit dumbed down but still gets the job done. On international events they take awhile to process the wager, NO Rugby betting….Never played Poker on there

Now, I have never used BookMaker but have heard good things about payouts and lines…I have also heard terrible things about their website "being down" or "crashing" where you cant log in and place a wager...

Looking for professional opinions on what you think I should do and where I should deposit.

I can split up the funds, but want to make sure the poker is fair draw and anywhere I go pays out. I would be looking to stick with these three sites for sports and race book but like I said I am open to online poker sites.

I am in America if this changes anything. Help is greatly appreciated.

This is strictly a matter of opinion based on the experience of the player. I agree with the posters so far. I like 5dimes (family) and bookmaker/betdsi. Either one of those I don't think you can go wrong with. Both are among the top online books for US players.

Has anyone had problems getting paid out larger amounts on 5Dimes -- $10k+ just wondering, the only reason I am worried about playing 5Dimes is a bigger payouts...I have heard bookmaker never has a problem.

**5mike5** · 01-20-14, 08:12 PM

U can get 10k plus from 5dimes but I usually do it by 2500 every few days by p2P an DC combined . I don't use checks as a option so not sure about that method.

Never a problem

IMO Bookmaker/DSI is the best of the three. The only negative thing about BM/DSI is their withdrawal fees, which are definitely inflated. They do offer one free DC withdrawal a month which is nice though.

5dimes is only good for their reduced juice, which is basically useless to me as I have the luxury of wagering at Pinny and Matchbook. 5dimes is still a pretty good book, but I've heard way too many negative things about them over the years.

bovada if your looking for soft lines
bookmaker if you're a high roller
5dimes because they have lines for pretty much everything

I have an account with all 3 and these are probably the best 3 books for US players

I don't wanna bad mouth a book but over the past year or so DSI has really gone down, they have cut down their wagering options and their payout system is horrible for a top rated book.

Can you explain this? I have 5dimes and don't know about this. 10% added to any winning wager??

**zacher** · 01-21-14, 12:08 AM

I know bovada is bad but there's just no rugby on 5dimes... Which sucks.. I may keep money in bovada just for rugby and I like 5dimes but y'all have squashed payout concerns

**weirimdi** · 01-21-14, 12:23 AM

5 Dime is the place to go. Never had any problems with them. Lack of Rugby is a problem yes.

Yeah it pertains to the race book. Go to their introduction page and click on race book. There is section about the plus 10% book that explains the program. You get track prices plus 10% added to any winning wager. Best deal in the business imo. Accounts that have free play rewards or cash back rewards do not have this option. Check it out.

Not sure trying to check right now, with that being said I don't know if I would trust that much in a bovada account.

Like I said I had low monies when I was using them and I was getting antsy, book is incredible website and runs smooth, I have just heard not the best things when it comes to higher limit wagers and players

**sunnysweetwine** · 01-23-14, 12:48 AM

Bovada is the absolute worst gambling site online for US players. Stick with 5 dimes..

**sunnysweetwine** · 01-23-14, 12:49 AM

Put it in 5 dimes. do yourself a favor

KC · 01-23-14, 07:31 AM

5 Dimes best lines, Bookmaker high limits funds secure, Bovada 0.0
