    The way 5dimes posts football lines is all about screwing us on teasers

    I have been with 5dimes for years now. I love most of what they have to offer, even though I've lost a good amount of money to them. My main complaint is the way they make the football lines. It's Sooooo obvious they post them like 2 or 3 points higher so as to affect the people that would like to tease. An example is any time a team is favored by lets say 7 5dimes will have it at like 9.5 + 130. So u can't tease down to a pick em. Or u have to do the 10 point tease which obviously pays way less. Anyone else notice this and annoyed by it like I am?

    This, and it still is.
    Just placed a wager on a 1pm game, Steelers under 41 reduced juice 108

    Just for shits and giggles farted around with some teaser potentials, nothing stood out, passed on teasers for early games.

    What they do is not unethical

    They still deal 2 team +100 teasers. If they didn't play these protection lines they would be broke.

    WTF is you're deal asshole. I'm 35 yrs old and have been gambling since I was 10. I know more about gambling then u i wud guarantee. I knowwwwww its been like this for years, ever since I joined the site over 3 yrs ago. Just venting frustration with the way they penetrate with the lines purely for the specific reason of penetrating up the tease. And to the other persons point saying they would be broke if they didn't do it. Well every other book I use doesn't do it. 5dimes is the only one. What are you on 5dimes payroll?

    Books are not in the business of giving money away.
