    That's the type of shit you'd expect from some shady ass book/casino. if they offered bad odds they should still pay him and fix it for future players. it was their error. I'd be pissed. One more reason for me to avoid 5dimes casino

    This should be enough for anyone to avoid 5 dimes. If you think they'll only do this kind of thing with their casino and not the sportsbook, you're a fool.

    all online casinos should be avoided. you can't expect them to payout that much more than the real odds. op should be tossed something extra but not get the entire bad odds payout. some books would have given him his money back with no winnings. they do get to do whatever the hell they want. they got our money. then we have to beg for it back. the only way to beat them is to stop sending your money to offshore books. if you are in the US.

    One really has to wonder about people who gamble without having any idea of the true odds they should be getting!

    let's educate all caribbean poker players across vegas casinos and explain that they are getting paid out at least 30% less than 'true odds'... or slot players... can't be very difficult to get a class lawsuit going, right?

    and if you tell me that vegas players know what they are getting into, how should any online casino be different? why can they get away with rolling out a novelty product without adequate testing and never have to pay for their mistake, but continue reaping the rewards when players lose as expected?

    what's next - some online joint announcing that 3/2 is too much to pay for a blackjack and they are retroactively changing the odds to evens and removing the difference from a big winner's balance?

    I wonder if this is the same solitaire program that I commented on many months ago that 95% of the time deals hands impossible to win with. I played around with it playing like 5 or 10 cents a hand, out of like 20 Id win like twice, out of about 20 more hands win about twice.

    Any resolution in this case? They should definitely honor the odds they posted on their site and advertised and fix for future players. It's one thing if game advertised 105-1 and paid 400-1 but to advertise 400-1 realize your wrong and punish the player for playing the game you posted is not right.

    Edit by SBR: Your account is fine; when you attempted to create a second one, you got restricted. If you forget your log-in details, contact support to avoid hiccups.

    No resolution as of yet. Submitted ticket on 8/8, received response today telling me to talk to a 5dimes manager on live chat. So basically nothing.

    Also, something of note. Immediately after I received response, I attempted to come to the forums and update. However I was unable to log in and, when I tried to reset my password, my email was unrecognizable. Just had to spend half an hour with live help to get logged in. Perhaps it was a coincidence. Perhaps not.

    I only created the second account after the first did not work. So that is not correct.

    I am sure it was correct at the time your account was fixed.

    If that's the case then there would be no need for you to log into the first account like you did today. Again: YOU logged into the ved415 account which triggered this whole situation. That got your veddy account tossed out of here.

    You don't log into your other account = no issue for you with your veddy account. Multiple accounts aren't permitted at SBR. If you have an issue with one account you don't go create another one.

    Edit by SBR: As is customary with disputes, an SBR analyst advised the player of his next step, in this case to speak with a specific manager at 5D. The player has thus far been uncooperative and has attempted making multiple accounts at SBR despite being asked not to do so. We haven't heard back from the player yet.

    So any updates on this very curious about this as I play mainly at 5dimes

    We'll never know what happened as SBR is quick to ban someone if they make a second account and looks like the OP is perm banned now. I never understood this as it happened to a friend of mine here, if someone forgets their password and just creates a new account, why must you perm-ban all accounts? It really is dumb if you ask me. If they repeatedly create multiple accounts then I would understand it.

    Do books spread around money to forums? I'm not talking about sponsors. I'm talking about just hush money?

    If this guy has had his account suspended for logging into a second one again, all he has to do is email like he did last time to have it fixed.

    But most of the time when we see threads like this and the player disappears, it's because they have been shown to be wrong and just choose to not tell anyone that.



    That said... I don't know what has happened here but SBR have been trying to help him.

    The player has stopped cooperating with SBR, but we went ahead and discussed with 5Dimes management at length.

    A new game was recently launched (All or Nothing Solitaire) which has the same game logic and rules as the Vegas Solitaire, but when development put the game on-line after fixing a display bug with the cards, the payout settings became hugely jacked up -- this was noticed by a group of players, which would have resulted in millions won eventually. The game payouts were corrected after 24 hours. All players were paid the correct amount according to their wins, correct pay table vs. the distorted one advertised for the 24 hours:

    Correct Payouts
    1 in a row $1 pays $10 (9/1)
    2 in a row $1 pays $105 (104/1)
    3 in a row $1 pays $1150 (1149/1)

    vs.

    Incorrect Payouts
    1 in a row pays $19 (18/1)
    2 in a row pays $400 (399/1)
    3 in a row pays $8500 (8499/1)

    5dimes still offered the game and personally I don't believe you can change the odds/payouts after the fact and change previous winners. At the very least, a fair compromise would have been to pay previous winners at the payout for if there was no house edge. Who is to say the payout was going to be 9 to 1, it could have been 9.25 to 1 or 8 to 1. Only fair solution here is to pay 1:1 odds to pay honestly and I believe odds of beating vegas solitaire are 1 in 10.5 or 1 in 11. Don't feel the the 10x payout is fair considering it's taking a house edge from a player when they already were duped into false advertising (false odds). Bug or not.

    What do you work for the book Pal? I don't understand why guys take up for a book like they are shareholders in the company. You can't change odds midstream. You're a multimillion dollar company how about researching payouts before making a game go live. How about paying an expert to double and triple check all aspects of a game before putting it up. It's amateur hour.

    i don't work for them or anyone else. no one, no business or anything else is perfect. shit happens. mistakes are made. and what is done to correct mistakes really shows who a person or business is.the odds were way off and a few people thought they would get away with taking advantage of it. it didn't work. they are lucky they got any of the winnings. another book maybe would have voided all bets. maybe worse. books make their own rules. then do what they want. so it does seem fair to get payed the true odds. maybe a little extra could have gone a long way. but like i said they do what they want. we have no legal issue to stand on in the US. nothing we can do. so decide if you want to take that chance when you gamble offshore. and when you are treated badly you come here and complain, great, that's why the forum is here. but others also get to put in their two cents. thats also why the forum is here.
