    Betphoenix or 5dimes?
    Phoenix is fairly new, 5dimes is been around for a while. I know both places will not allow me to play large amounts. However which has the most props and exotic plays?

    Phoenix has live Bacarrat, which I like. 5 Dimes doesn not.


    Please feel free to chime in one verses the others.

    All any insights will be greatly appreciated.

        Wagering seems fairly the same. I prefer 5Dimes as they allow for more teaser options.

        As far as payouts go, 5Dimes is much faster and easier. You ask then they pay, no questions asked. And it's fast!

        BetPhoenix, I am trying to get my first payout from them and it hasn't been so easy. I will update you in a few days on how it goes.

          Fairly even. I use them both for small wagers. If I go big I use Bookmaker.

            Is this a trick question? Phoenix allows adults to play. Dimes allows children with lunch money to spend. Nuff said

                    Yeah, more like "5 Cents" should be their name.

                      I like Bet Phoenix so far. I have 5 Dimes but I have heard that they are good though.

                        i don't think you can go wrong with either, but phoenix/mania are offerring quite
                        a few option these days, they offered 3 diffrent lines and totals for second half of mo/neb just now. seem to be getting better every day. with bp you have richard if theres a problem, with 5dimes you have.....well nevermind i'd go with phoenix.

                                If you play the horses you have to go with 5dimes (no caps on payouts). Bet Phoenix has some bad caps on the minor tracks.

                                    If I had to choose between the two it would be 5 dimes but have no need to play at either. You know where I plat at Mike and I am happy there. 5 dimes doesn't e-mail or call on a daily basis asking for my business, I like their style.

                                      I hear ya.

                                      I just would like more prop options. Sometimes I like to bet small for fun. Not on sides. BetPHoenix is calling me every day, I am not making this up everyday with offers. 5 dimes has not called me once. I like the in game variety plays as well.

                                      Thanks buddy.

                                          I wouldn't play there for the lines. Only PROPS and in game wagering.

                                            yea bp has cap on their horses. but whats good about 5dimes is their live betting..you can win your money back during commercial breaks . their payouts are quick as usual. both are recommended books but id go with 5dimes first. bp has website issues also

                                                            I agree the cold calls are a little much but in terms of reduced juice, correct me if I'm wrong, BP has reduced juice on halfs as well as games with higher limits... 5Dimes does pay fast though and I think it's more solid then BP but can't be BP reduced juice...

                                                            It's great to have a lot of books because each have their own nitch which can be positive for the player...
