As most of you know 5dimes is "one of the best" books online...well i guess for American players, if i lived anywhere other than usa I would only be on Bet365 or bwin. honestly the only feature that 5dimes has that gives them any edge over the competition is the ifwin option. but i digress...2 weeks ago i bet on a game that had already happened, I have done this a few times on 5dimes as I believe it is the job of the book to do 2 things put the line up before the game and then take it down before the game.

I myself have caught 5dimes screw this up well over 15 times in the last year. So 2 weeks ago when my account was suspended for betting on this game Tony made me give up $66 to re-activate my account, under my transactions it was called an eye for an eye exchange. i only had $233 in my account at the time...he wanted 66 bc thats how much i tried to make on the bet on the game that had already happened...so what if i went all in on it? oh or my other option was to be kicked out of 5dimes for life.

so anyway my main point is that i had 0 in my account this past weekend and found 2 errors on 5dimes and reported them to tony, and got nothing for doing so. I asked for simply my $66 back as I had found 1 massive error a rugby game that was set for 10pm when it went off at 10am. hahah my god how can you suck at your job this bad?

so sbr i just wanted your input did i have a right to my money back and does 5dimes have any right to call this theft when they are just sucking at their job?

Hi Ted,

I think you already know the answer to your Q. It seems like 5Dimes caught you past-posting one time and allowed you to keep your account if you conceded to the $66 adjustment. I might consider yourself lucky the previous shots you took weren't caught.

Applicable 5D rule:

A bet made after an event begins based on occurrences that have developed while in-play, is considered a "past-post", and will be handled as blatant theft. This applies for all regular game lines or when play resumes in live wagering. All events intended for in-play offering will be noted as such on the wagering option.

[BiGTonyHAHA]

offshore gaming= ZERO rights for us players.
and basically what your saying is you where trying to swindle tony on more then one occasion and he caught you? now you want your 66 dollars back after you told him you spotted a bad line? you shoulda kept your mouth shut. you wouldnt be in this predictament

[tedastonishing]

no man no predicament, simply wanting to know what the sbr community thought that is all. i think it is a crutch to rely on that rule to use as a way to justify not being on top of your board, i have never seen any other sportsbook have this issue on this level before. and honestly unless you have spyware, how can you actually prove that you are taking a play bc it has already happened?

i mean common tho i had 0 in my account on Saturday and still found 2 errors on the board, not like i was on there all day...your telling me that is professional? your job is to put up the line and take it down before the game...not that hard esp for a company that has "specialized people with 15 years in the biz".

[Rollins08]

Tony should have kicked you out for this. Your lucky he only took your $66. I'm surprised he didn't close your account for good and do unmentionable things to your mother.

This is the honor system we work over. Don't try to **** the book, the book won't try to **** you. All we both want is a fair game. Don't be a scumbag, win your bets for real.

This.

Don't take shots at books unless you want them to take shots at you.

[tedastonishing]

all good points but no one is acknowledging how 5dimes does have 1 job and that is to put lines up and take em down before the game....i have been betting online now for well over 7 years and have never seen any other book have this issue...i completely agree to do past-post is wrong, i enjoy beating them legitimately much more. how to prove past post tho is another interesting point...

[KEdge2k]

I would have shown you the door after you past posted the first time unless I really did think it was an accident. Otherwise you are just an angle shooter.

[Pew Pew]

fuuck tony.

[KEdge2k]

I am floored, I must say, that Tony let you keep your account. I got shown the door from 5dimes for a far less egregious action.

[pay on time]

Bad lines seem to be a consistent characteristic of 5dimes.

[pay on time]

Just a scenerio: What if OP bet on game after it was posted and picked loser, not knowing it was already posted. What would 5dimes do? Tony would leave account open and wouldn't mention it while taking funds. All this honesty bs is garbage. The book would be the first to be dishonest if it works in their favor. I agree with op, get your lines straight and this won't be a issue.

[relaaxx]

after the fact - he did point out other errors that are time consuming for everyone and can cause misunderstandings about fault and liabilities and should have gotten something for doing thier job. maybe even give he a job catching all the errors. so much per catch.

[Kindred]

5slimes never misses a chance to steal...

What's the saying 2 wrongs don't make a right. What tony did is just as blatant as what OP tried to do..

Hey tony how long did you know about that rigged casino software?

thats what i am saying how can you even prove past posting? unless tony is using spyware and can prove that i looked at a scoreboard prior to me making the play...

thanks, tried getting tony to do that he said no, only reduced juices for saving his error filled board that could cost him thousands

This.
+ OP has no clue, he would be at 3.65 and bwin.
A clown and Tony Godfather run into each other, such a piece of shit thread is the result.

I call it evening the score for all the outrageous charges to withdraw your own money. Maybe they ought to hire better help instead of having the players do their job for them and getting nothing in return.

hhaaha agreed i only do it bc 5dimes sucks with timing in general, they take down challeneger tennis darts and snooker all way too early and never put the lines back up b4 the games actually start

[Maniac]

How much have you made off og them on the 15+ other times you claim to have cheated them over the last year - I am guessing it is a lot more the $66 it cost you to reopen your account.

I agree that isnt necessarily right for them to charge you this - but to be honest you should probably count yourself lucky that they didnt notice the previous bunch of times you past-posted and got away with it and should probably count yourself luckier that they dont decide to give your account a full audit or close you for good...

wow i never said i past-posted 15 times...i have def spotted them leaving lines up 15+ times tho.

i truly do enjoy beating books the real way, being right with real bets....i am bringing this to sbr to see what majority of people think of the subject of 5dimes legit being the only site that consistently has this issue and calls it theft

both of these books have as many (more probably) bad lines as 5dimes and they will both limit-boot you for betting them

[Lou_Vega]

who cares?

It is NOT theft because Tony gave you a choice:

You tried to screw him out of $66 on a game that already happened so he gave you the CHOICE of closing down your account or paying him $66 to keep your account activated. If he did not give you that choice and just reduced your account by $66 then it would be theft on his part.

It was your decision to agree to his terms and pay him the $66 that you tried to steal from him. I'm sure you know the $66 doesn't mean anything to him and he did this to you solely based on principal.

Its also important to understand that 5 Dimes puts up 1000's of betting options every single day and mistakes are going to happen as its human beings entering the betting options into the site.

Just in case you think I'm biased in favor of Tony, he disabled my horse betting even though I had one winner from my last 50 horse bets and cut my sports betting limits down to 20% of normal limits so I'm not his #1 fan thats for sure.

[zebo1337]

I don't trust anything that's A+ on this site. I'll stick to my good ole' aussie TAB sportsbook thanks guys. All these books, 5dimes etc, just crooks in the end. He charged $66 to keep an account open? Right, so he made the OP pay him out to keep his account activated. 5dimes will be down the sink soon, like the rest. What's the American version of the TAB? If anyone is familiar with what the TAB actually is.

[stevenash]

I believe it is the job of the book to do 2 things put the line up before the game and then take it down before the game.

Yay, another thread about a player trying to take a shot at a book, then crying when he couldn't get away with it.

That's it?
That's all the books have to do, hang a line, and then take it down once the game goes off?

They don't have to grade the wagers? You know, stuff like that too?..........

[cloverfield]

When I see a bad line I report it right away. I don't try to take advantage of it. so I have little sympathy for this situation.

You basically admitted to trying to "steal" $66 from a game you knew was finished and the line was still posted.

[stevenash]

And then cry about it in a thread expecting pity.
Well, pity is not compassion, and every book has a wart or two.

This is 5Dimes, one of the best in the business, not Bet on Sports.

"Oh boo-hoo-hoo, I tried to take a shot, I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar, they are trying to steal from me...."

Yeesh

The three most over and misused words here at SBR.

Theft, scam, and steal.

If something doesn't go ones way, a lot of posters are quick to use the 'scam' word, like Rev. Al uses the 'race' word.

[mh217]

we are here to win money off of the scumbag books by any means possible..its their responsibility to keep track of games and their lines..fuk em..fukin pieces of shit that make money by ruining 95% of peoples lives..i cringe when i see anyone sympathizing with these vermin..if i could walk into a book and shoot em and just take the money instead of having to win it then that would be fantastic

[stevenash]

Any means possible?

Really?

[krk1030]

It is their job to take the games off the board on time, but that doesnt mean you should bet them if they dont.

It's like going to a store and there is no price on something you want so you just take it and leave.
