    5dimes live bet extra
    I wanted to post this in it's own topic to see if I could get some answers but 5dimes uses a 3rd party vendor for their live betting extra platform. It was down on Saturday, of all days, and the response I got from 5d was that it would be back up by Monday. Well it was back up on Saturday night the only difference was, there was no college football games listed to "live bet" on. I didn't think too much about it but on Sunday when it was time for NFL action, yet again, no football. Monday night, no football again. They still have every other sport on there. It even shows, at the top of the live betting extra screen, the total number of games available to be live bet on, for example "21 games" but then as you look down at the actual number of games listed it's like 17 games because they're not allowing us to bet on football games. Its as if they've purposefully removed american football from their options. The only answer I got from 5d was, "we cannot guarantee that football will be added back". This really blows because the other options at 5dimes for live betting are terrible. They take so long to confirm a bet that 9 times out of 10 the bet is removed before confirmation. I know there are some 5dimes folks that check these forums so I hoped to get an answer as to why this has happened and if there were plans to bring it back. Thanks

    a similar thing happened on the Sports Betting Plus platform, with various (probably for them non-profitable kind of) sports getting removed over the past year. Nothing as major as NFL though, tbf

    I don't know how this 3rd party stuff works exactly though, and who is taking the risk (and therefor would be interested in not offering them anymore). I guess 5dimes?

      i was a big user of live betting ultra. have you thought about giving that a better look? there is always a ton of games. the only time i used extra was when ultra was occasionally down. i have no idea what happened with the whole football thing though. you might not be able to get a legit answer on that.

        The thing that drives me nuts about Ultra is how long it takes for a bet to confirm. I live betting in between plays and with Ultra I usually can't get a bet placed before they take it down.

          I've used them all, Live Betting Extra is one of the best if not the best and very user friendly. You don't have to refresh it like you have to do with alot of the others. It has a count down so you know when your bet will be excepted.

          Other sites that carry the software are betnow with a $200 limit, Betagame and Americas Bookie with only a $50 limit. Betus use to have it a couple years ago with a $1000 limit. Also I think Youwager has it to with a $200 limit.

            Question is, if it's the same 3rd party vendor using that software, have they removed football from those sites as well? Probably so. After my post yesterday 5D upgraded Live Betting Ultra to know include pre-game betting. I wouldn't be surprised to see they completely phase out Extra before too long. Which really sucks. My hope is that they will see their numbers drop and end up adding football back to the slate.

              youwager has the old version of extra, which is much better, and they let you repop it. anyone that can play at youwager should be live betting there rather than anywhere else.

              5dimes extra is still so much better than ultra, but not what it used to be... the juice on ultra and the lack of confirmation makes it pretty unbettable

                  yeah, except in one night i made about 6k live betting so they booted me... my limits were 100 but i could usually hit it 5 times, i hit on a few big nba underdogs

                  on the way out i think they cheated me out of about $150, but before that they were great for years

                          Ultra is such garbage. i can't even get a bet in. It keeps reconnecting or giving a proxy error. They had to screw up Extra and Prime and Plus are worthless.

                            ultra can be dirty at times. awhile ago i had a wager that i kept trying to place on a basketball match, tie game. it was giving me all the random errors and i finally just gave up. then 10 minutes afterwards i see my balance drop. i look at my wagers and the bet mysteriously appears. of course, the team i picked is now losing by 12. nothing shady about that

                            not too long before that i had a parlay wager. after my one team won, i saw it disappeared from the pending wagers. i check it out and it's graded a loser. why? because it said i picked the other team. i look at my screen shot, and it's exactly what i know i picked, the winning team. so i email them, explain and send the shot. rep tells me "wager says your team lost. is there anything else i can help you with?"

                            i was about to go ballistic, but i figured the other game is early on, i'll wait for the result. unfortunately, or fortunately? they lost, so the screwup didn't matter. but something tells me they wouldn't have given a crap.

                                  Has anyone been using 5dimes live betting extra lately? Got on a hot streak first few days of NBA season and I had no delay. Today, I discover a 5 second delay for NBA. Placed minimum bets on other sports just to test it out and I also noticed 12 seconds for hockey, soccer, and baseball, 8 seconds for tennis. Is this for everyone on 5dimes or just me because I was on a hot streak?

                                      1) I guess what I'm trying to ask is specific to basketball. Do you guys get a delay for basketball in 5dimes LIVE BETTING EXTRA? Not talking about any of their other live betting options.

                                      2) Another 5dimes LIVE BETTING EXTRA specific question. Do you guys have the option to bet American football games in LIVE BETTING EXTRA? For example, it currently shows there are 44 total games I can bet on- 33 soccer and 2 hockey. 9 NFL games are on the platform's calendar but I do not have the option to bet on any of them. I asked a representative last week and they said American football is undergoing maintenance and will be back in a couple days. Option to bet American football has been gone for more than a "couple days". Are they banning me from this specific sport or is everyone getting this problem? Happens to me in college football too.

                                          Oh so they removed football for everyone for good from 5dimes LIVE BETTING EXTRA? Why so lucky? Who did you join as a result?
