    Is 5dimes ok with live betting both sides to guarantee profits?

    Might be a "noob" question, but with live betting theres plenty of chances in football to play both sides for profit.

    Example:

    Team A scores, make play on Team B at +150

    Team B scores, make play on Team A at -120

    Now your in a no lose situation. But do books (5dimes in particular, since I hear Tony's an asshole) look down on this strategy, and has anyone heard of anything negative coming from this?

    Be careful. With a douchebag like Tony with all the control, he could easily screw you if his ego is hurt

    No problem.

    From the book's point of view you are paying double vig.

    Uh what??

    He's talking about the endless amount of times where you can get plus money on both sides in a game live betting.

    Even given the example he had... He's guaranteed not to lose.

    Team b.. 100 to win 150
    Team a... 120 to win 100

    Team b wins.. +30
    Team a wins.. Break even


    If you do this continually to the point where u are up 5 figs on it alone... Tony will shut u down... But it's nothing wrong on your part... Just smart betting

    Theoretically you can win a lot of money doing this, but practically you can not expect improved situation most of time after first bet. So no need to worry about this betting style. If you really can do this "continually" however, then you need worry more about irs than tony.

    It's just all about predicting when a team or player (in tennis) is peaking in each game... Easier said then done obviously

    fact is... if the line swings back... you're generally better not hedging.

    I don't know what's acceptable and what isn't at 5Dimes but I had action on the Dallas Pittsburgh game a few weeks back. Had 1k on Pittsburgh. Game went into overtime... I had a feeling Dallas had momentum... and I wagered 1k the other direction during commercial break. 24 hours later... my LIVE BETTING limit was reduced 50%. And my reduced juice was reduced 50%. But I don't give an F... not ever losing 1k because of their f'ing rules.
