They offer full track odds and payouts on basically every track. You can wager as little as $0.25, $0.50 and upward. You can play Pick-3, Pick -4, Pick-6 and basically win full track payouts on all exotics. I live just a short drive from Delaware Park Race Track and there is. O reason for me to make the drive when you have off shore books like 5Dimes who offer this. If I could think of any other off shore books who compare in the horse wagering area it would be maybe Heritage ir Gtbets!

That's not totally accurate. They only pay full payout exotics on just a few major tracks. Most of the tracks have exotic limits that can cost you. A pick 3 limit payoff of 1500-1 is very limiting. Even worse is a 2500-1 limit on superfectas. If you're going after big scores with .10 cent supers in big fields at medium to small tracks, a $250 max payout is awful. Personally, i prefer Bovada where they give you a $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, or $30,000 limit on any payout per race depending on the track. Even a cow pasture like Will Rogers Downs will have their generous lowest payout maximum of $5,000 per race. So if I hit a .10 cent superfecta with a 7 horse box for $84 at some track like Albuquerque Downs or Presque Isle that pays $4500 for a .10 cent super (very possible when long shots hit in large fields), I get paid in full. I once hit a $7300 pick 3 at Turf Paradise for a $1 ticket at Bovada and I was paid in full in 10 minutes. That same ticket would have only paid $1500 at 5Dimes due to their exotic odds limits at smaller tracks. Of course, it's been a while since I played horses at 5Dimes, so if they've changed their odds limits for payouts on medium to smaller tracks, this is moot.

5dimes is great for the major tracks, and the 10% payout boost is real nice (until you get limited), but unless they've changed their rules regarding smaller tracks, you have to be cognizant of their payout odds limits.

Very good info on Bovada, which I recently joined--thanks! I'll check out their 10 cent Supers. I like the 5-Dimes horse book a lot, especially the 110% payouts on win and exotics. 5D also puts out fixed odds on some major races where you can get great overlays. Looking forward to this for the Breeders Cup.

Agree with the OP. For those who live in the states and can not use a Legal ADW, Believe 5D to be best option. DSI/Bookmaker are also good.

Will be happy when 5dimes can use ewallets again. It was supposed to be short but it seems they are still having problems with this option.
