    Can’t use reduced juice on 5dimes
    It seems about 10 months ago I took a free play bonus at 5dimes of somewhere around $100. Now when I ask about their reduced juice program, they say I am forever excluded because I’m part of the free play bonus. They offer me 20% fp on reloads upon request, with 5X rollover. I’ve tried via chat and customer service phone, but no flexibility.

    it’s too bad because I’d definitely use reduced juice there quite a bit now given a chance. This seems a bit inflexible from such a high rated book, no?

    This is stated in the terms and conditions, all the columns default to reduce juice but if you would accept one of their bonuses then you don't get reduced juice anymore.

    Taking bonuses is always a bad idea.

      Unless you bet only major US sports then 20% perpetual bonus might be better for some people.

      I joined on the bonus program and changed to reduced juice (they do, or did, let you change your choice ONE time) but would prefer the bonus now. As the sports I like betting does not offer reduced juice mostly.

          I'm more than tired of seeing this when I try to place bets at 5Dimes:

          "The price on this event is being evaluated. Check back momentarily for an updated price."

          Waste of time!
          If not prepared to lay it, take it off the board!

            ^^^ they have you flagged as a sharp Hareeba.

            If they have just put you on eval but have not also reduced your limits, then they must think you are super sharp.

              They reduced my limits a couple of weeks back. Refer my post of transcript with Tony!

              Reduced limits is one thing but leaving up odds they're not prepared to lay is unacceptable bookmaking practice.

                Oh yeah. Oh well, sounds like the short leash for you. If you keep betting they will turn off the review part after a while usually.

                  I hear you, it's frustrating. However, you can often bypass this by going to their regular lines and placing your bet. You lay 107 instead of 105 but you get higher limits than $500 reduced juice.

                    Nah. That message isn't limited to reduced juice odds.

                      Doesn't work every time, but I have gotten some bets in this way. BTW, I have noticed that the system will allow you to bet the side you don't want while it's updating the price on the side you do want. I agree it would be better to just pull the game while updating.

                        Hareeba is SHARP. Even Tony doesn't want his action anymore.

                          Interesting. You're on delay, but your reduced juice limits are still full ($500)? Also, full juice lines are -107 (not -110) for you, or is that a typo?

                              I think what HedgeHog was trying to say...

                              If you are limited for any reason with your reduced juice feature... for example... let's just say it's to win 500. You must allow 5D to reset the line to wager an additional 500 in the reduced juice section. (You can keep risking MAX as long as 5D keeps resetting the line.)

                              HedgeHog is just indicating... don't wait for the line to reset. Go to regular lines... and take the same game for -110. You're allowed to do that.

                                I'm not on delay. My reduced juice bets (-105) typically get accepted instantly and then I can re-bet them for another $500 after 5 minutes (sooner if the line changes). The exception is when I get that message about the price being evaluated on a particular game. At that point, I can either wait out the process or put the bet in at regular juice (which is -107 for my account).

                                    Did you negotiate that -107, or is that an option for everyone?

                                      Are you actually with 5 Dimes skin Sportbet? They have -107 lineset.

                                        -107 regular and -105 reduced??

                                            Right but it is an SB account. That is why you get -107.

                                              I have had $10 max on reduced for years.

                                              I asked Tony to restore my limits and he told me to fukk myself

                                                What's with this -107 ?
                                                It's -105 on reduced but -110 on regular.

                                                  HedgeHog indicating he uses 5D sister company "Sportbet". I guess you can log into your SB acct over at 5D? Sportbet gives you -107 lines.

                                                  It's all news to me.

                                                    It's not where you login. It is where you registered your account to start with.

                                                    Each frontend has slightly different deals.
                                                    .

                                                        Waste of time!
                                                        If not prepared to lay it, take it off the board!
                                                        agree this is annoying....happens all the time to my nascar plays
