    5Dimes Live Wagering Help

    First time playing at 5dimes.
    Live Betting MLB.

    I placed a live wager on the LA Dodgers to "win the rest of the game" tonight. The score was 2-0 LA Dodgers at the time of the wager. The game ended 2-0. Dodgers win. My bet lost though....

    Is this because that wager is for who will score the most runs until the game ends? It has to be. So misleading to me. Perhaps this is the standard wording on other books? For me, it cost me a loss.

    Do they not have regular money lines on simply who will win during live betting? I don't see any....

    Your bet would has only won, if the Dodgers had won at least by 3 runs.

    Do they ever have lines live for who will simply win the game?

    Yes, they do. They have two types of live betting: "Live Betting Extra" and "Live In-Play".

    "Live Betting Extra" is what you referred to. With this, you can bet throughout games. It has money lines.

    "Live In-Play" are accessed with links under each sports(I think you can see them). With this, you can only bet during commercials or between innings(you can bet some baseball props throughout games). It also has money lines.

    Those lines on live betting extra are heavily juiced up maybe at least 120-130%

    you have to be very careful in the new live betting. you have little time to read carefully and double check your bet. but there is value to be found there. just be careful.

    Hi l3,

    Thanks for sharing your experience.

    That is correct, team xyz to win the rest of the game is essentially starting from scratch. So because the score did not change, your ticket was not a winner.

    All ML bets on the 5dimes wagering extra say team to win (with ot included) on all sports. (even baseball)

    If it says "who wins the rest of the game" it's always from the current score, and ties lose as it's a 3 way.

    This is all besides the fact you most likely had + odds on that rest of the game wager.

    Did you REALLY think you were getting + odds on Dodger ML up 2-0? Gotta use a minimal amount of logic here at the least, even if you are new.
