    Why is 5Dimes rated #1?

    Surely Pinnacle are far and away the best. They offer the highest limits AND the best prices.

    5Dimes don't offer their reduced vig until a few hours before games, by which point the lines are pretty accurate.

    Makes me wonder if the list is BS *cough* bribe *cough*, but i'm open minded.

    They are #1 because they Pay The Piper every month.

    Must say I don't like 'em. They're the opposite of everything Pinnacle stand for. Their web site is poor and their promos are tacky -really thick on T&Cs.

    I can't bet with Pinnacle these days since they cut ties with UK customers *sigh*.

    The 1105 points is from a public poster poll. Must have been a lot of those bribes you're coughing about going around!

    Part of the reason 5D does so well compared to Pinny is the percentage of American posters here who cant use Pinny.

    majority of my bets are at matchbook and 5Dimes. pinnacle is hardly ever the best line. for the world cup had over 2.5 goals in live betting at pinnacle. a minute later a goal and the score of 2-1. yeah baby. pinnacle disavowed the goal because they said the team was in the danger zone which wasnt true. the defending team had cleared it once before the goal. 5 dimes would never pull that shit

    OK, that it explains it then. By Americans you mean yankees I take it? Not much competition for that market.

    Your first mistake is trying to compare Pinnacle and 5Dimes when everyone can't bet at both books.

    Sit back and think about why that's such a huge fukk up and when it dawns on you why it is, you'll clue into why BOTH books are rated so highly without any *cough* bribes *cough*.

    Simple answer: no USA facing book has more betting options than 5 Dimes. I like Heritage a lot and the are quite competitive in prices (sometimes better!) with the sports/leagues they offer with their reduced juice options, so I use them a lot. But 5 Dimes simply offers more options.

    Well that's not a fukk up on my part you cretin. You sit back and consider that the list is entitled best sportsbook. Just because you can't access it does not mean it is not the best.

    I live in Australia. I can access any book I want.

    I love when people like you profess to be so wise yet make such amateur mistakes that show their ignorance. Big hint - the URL you're looking at above says sportsbookreview.COM. NOT co.uk. NOT com.au. Let that sink in for a minute. Now put all those brain cells you like to pretend to have you "cretin" and think about that for a bit more. It'll save you the embarrassment of starting a self-explanatory thread like this in the future.

    i agree have no idea why 5dimes is so high when their FREEPLAY system sucks too!! they will only give you INCREMENTS at a time up to your full amount??? that's so stupid! much better is BOOKMAKER which gives you the entire thing up front AND they have many bonuses, free games/contests, freepoints to redeem for cash etc, and so much. anyone on the fence about what book to join send me a msg so i can tell you all about that awesome book. but i'll never join 5dimes due to the aforementioned reason above!

    Where exactly did I profess to be so wise? I started this thread to find out why 5Dimes were rated #1 and I have found out why. I think you're confused. I realise it's a global review, which backs up my contention that pinnacle is the best i.e not the best for a populous with limited options.

    no, but in certain parts of Canada they talk with a thick Americany accent -like that tennis player greg ruzedski whom was partially british (convenient as it got him a good seed at wimbledon for years)

    Damn, remind me to never get an Shari's bad side. She can bury you with little more than a sarcastic thumbs up ""

    Once again Shari is a strong personality online. Is there anyone she can't bury, I mean "Beary?"

    5Dimes free play reward does suck, but who in their right mind chooses free play reward over reduced juice?

    Sometimes they are cockroaches with the way they shade their lines, but then again most books take advantage. It really just means they run a fairly solid business on the bookmaking end.

    They get beat though.

    He means reduced vig, like they have on pinnacle. I bet on the WNBA spreads. THey have 10/11 odds up until about 5hrs before tip-off when they improve it to 20/21 (-110 vs -105 in American odds).

    I don't think they are rated #1 with winning gamblers. The best books don't collar players as their total mantra.
