    Great Tony Post - (5Dimes)

    All,

    I thought I would share:

    Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    You are now chatting with 'Percy'
    Eric: 5d175**** / ********
    Percy: Hello. How may I assist you today?
    Eric: Is Tony in?
    Percy: Just a moment please
    Please wait while I transfer the chat to 'Tony'.
    You are now chatting with 'Tony'
    Tony: how can I help you today?
    Eric: Tony, when will your new Poker Room be up and running per our discussion a couple of week ago?
    Tony: just had a discussion about that last night
    Tony: this week i'll be testing it
    Tony: most likely it won't pass my test
    Tony: and something will need to be done to it
    Tony: as it will be a "stand alone" test
    Tony: then i have to approve the chip transfer part of it
    Tony: and the affiliates percentages application
    Tony: so while it sounds like its close
    Tony: my guess is 2 more months
    Eric: Thank You....So did the books get killed for SB?
    Tony: we did great
    Eric: That is what everyone is saying.
    Tony: ton of money late on patriots
    Tony: ton of money at halftime on the patriots
    Tony: lot of money on over
    Tony: lot of teasers on over
    Tony: i don't see how books could have been "killed"
    Tony: on top of that, we had our main line at -2.5 -120 for a week
    Tony: when everyone else was at 3
    Eric: I don't know, just what I am reading.
    Tony: tons of pats -2.5 money
    Tony: well, there are 365 days in year
    Tony: and superbowl day is a small one volume wise to any other regular season day
    Eric: very true, but people always are skeptical about payouts after SB.
    Eric: SB has lower volume than a regular season day?
    Tony: so pick any other sunday during the regular season, and they're all far larger volume-wise than the superbowl
    Tony: hard to hit a 15 team parlay on superbowl day
    Tony: not enough to bet
    Tony: everyone bets one game
    Tony: action is fairly balanced
    Tony: try a regular NFL sunday
    Tony: where people put their funds in play multiple times over the day
    Tony: superbowl sunday is the safest day of the year for a book
    Tony: no one hits a 15 team parlay for on superbowl sunday
    Eric: That all makes sense.
    Tony: as for the books that are not A+ or ranked #1
    Tony: i'm sure people with money in those should be a little concerned
    Tony: clients with money here don't have any reason for concern
    Eric: How about Heritage? No worries there?
    Tony: no worries there
    Eric: I am sure they are solid.
    Tony: on top of that, we do direct transfers with them
    Tony: you can move your funds from them to us in about 30 min
    Tony: or vice versa
    Eric: Ok, Great....Thanks for the talk Tony. Have a good day.
    Tony: you too

    Wow...you don't say.


    IF you're not a oyster to Tony, he's not one back to you.

    I've had nothing but good talks with him, but then again, I don't go on there bitching and moaning about where my money is, when it's not in my account in 2 days...

    5dimes, just like youwager, bovada, etc get complaints but i have had nothing but good experiences with their customer service.

    ngates is right on the money here, if you treat top-tier books in a civil manner with respect, they return the favor

    Tony can be rude even when a customer calls with a legitimate complaint presented calmly and non-confrontational.

    Chip on his shoulder

    5D was one of the earliest books to make main line -2.5 so they probably took a lot more NE action that those that held at 3.

    Well, if you're an "advantage player", then you should know that Tony will eventually fukk you, so why not play there for bit, win a little cash out and quit playing? Wouldn't that be the smart thing to do.

    Had a run in with Tony once. I knew I was wrong, but was just trying to see if I could get some $$$ out of him. Jewish. Shame

    All the late money was on new england

    Last 2 hours was all NE money

    I was following and its easy to see if you check the line history

    Heritage went from -2.5-113 to as high as -2.5-130

    Pinny went from -3+112 to -3ev

    All in last hour b4 kickoff

    they made money because they hun -2.5 longer than anyone... not really buying all the over teaser action and if its true, they are one of the very few to make money on over and over teasers...

    tony only seems like a prick when it comes to you trying to steal from him or scam him...the guy sees 5x more bullshit complaints, at least, than other books...with as much as they offer, sure, they have a little more human error than most, but its easily fixable...problem is, every single jagoff who sees a mistake or has something voided because of a mistake, thinks they deserve some compensation...freeplay, money in acct. etc... its whoreshit like that that pushes the guys buttons.

    They hung -2.5 early so obviously they did great. Why the hell would anyone bet the Giants at 5dimes at +2.5? Their ML was also probably lower than other shops.

    Heritage is a good book, 5Dimes is a great book.

    Me and Tony go back a few years, always treated me right.

    lines started at +3.5, for those moved to +3 and then +2.5 a lot of early action on giants....
    The books with NE at -2.5 - 120, they want a lot of money on this side to balance the Giants action, at -130 or more they dont want action on this side........, i think books lose some money, but nothing they cant hand.

    Good Luck to people who want to try and beat computer poker software. The books are laughing.
