    5 Dimes bait and switch???

    Yesterday I finally funded my 5Dimes account because of the good reviews I read on SBR and the fact that I thought they offered decent numbers that I saw on the live odds page here. However, I discovered that the lines on the SBR live odds page are not the same odds offered to me once I log onto 5 Dimes. Example. I was interested in the NHL contest between Edmonton and Buffalo. On the SBR live odds page, It had Buffalo at -150, with Edmonton at +140. A dime line. When I logged into my 5Dimes account, they offered -155 Buffalo and +135 Edmonton. A 20 cent line which is a huge difference.

    Has anyone else had this problem? I also noticed this yesterday during the bowl games where they would after a Pointspread number and -105 on each side, but when logging in it was -110 for either side.

    The odds shown on SBR are the reduced juice (-105) odds.

    You get these at 5Dimes only if you decide not to take the bonus offer. It is not a "bait and switch" it is made quite clear in their Ts and Cs.

    I never took a bonus offer. Was never offered one.

    You need to look for the tick box "Reduced" under your sport.

    It's not there all the time, and not for all sports. But if you don't see it for football right now, then get onto CS and ask them to enable reduced juice for you.

    Reduced juice is the default bonus. If there are reduced juice lines available, they are found by going under the sport and clicking the reduced box rather than say the NHL box.
    I think the reduced juice bonus is my favorite.

    Okay, I'll go back and take a look for the reduced juice box.

    Thank you everyone for the replies. Nothing worse than feeling you've been had.

    Found the reduced juice box. only under football, nothing under NHL.

    So, my question is why is it a dime line on the live odds page here but when logging in it's a 20 cent line for NHL?
