    5Dimes vs BetJamaica

    Whats your experience with them?

    How is there Customer Service if an issue arises?

    How is the payout?

    I'm looking for a third book.

    Thank You.

    My experience only, of course, with these 2 top books.....

    *Customer Service: I found both to be fairly quick to respond to emails and both quite competent. Scotty at Betjamaica is one of the best in the industry, as I have found from personal interaction. Conversely, Tony at 5Dimes has a reputation as the AntiChrist of the wagering world, though to be fair I've never had to deal with him directly so I can only relay what I've heard. Other reps there seem more than adequate.

    *Payout: I've only ever used Neteller and Moneybookers, and payouts from both shops were quite quick, always the same day and within a few hours. 5Dimes somewhat quicker, but the difference is negligible.

    I might also add that both will put limits upon you. 5Dimes will also put you on a delay if you are beating them, then a further delay and in my case, will outright ban you completely if need be. BetJamaica moves from a 10 to 25 second delay, but as far as I can tell will never actually give you the Red card. Curiously, BJam has no delay on props betting, but will slash your limits (I'm maxed at $100 clear across the board for props).

    One man's experience but hope it offers some perspective.

    IMO, Bet Jam all the way as far as payouts go. Customer service is #1, there are a lot of US companies who could take a lesson from them as far as being polite on the phone goes.

    later

    For the average, recreational bettor I would choose BetJM hands down... But if you are looking for alternative lines, teasers, and all that other stuff, you gotta go with 5er..

    I contacted both.

    For withdrawals both send checks to Canada, so thats a plus, but for wire 5Dime is better cuz you don't pay nothing 1 free per Calendar month, but at BetJam you get 1 Per month too but it doesn't cover for Bank Wires, thats kinda sucks.
