    5dimes-Sportbet question

    Is there any difference at all between the two? I am able to access either with my account info..

    Why does the other exist?

    It's probably a mirror site incase the other crashes they can link the URLs together and you can still bet.

    My friend runs a online service for locals to have their clients bet online....and he has a couple of the same sites with different addys incase that server crashes.

    There are no differences....

    Sportsbet used to be an medium sized independent book that got bought out by 5dimes... I'm assuming they keep it running because of the decent brand recognition it had, for the convince of those who played there, and (like dred said) since it basically acts like a mirror site... 5dimes has other smaller books they control that I think are setup in the same fashion...

    I've often wondered this myself. Good to know.
