And re-betting is no good, as with each bet most of the time the price will go down each time, very quickly down to a price that a smart bettor doesn't want to bet that selection at any more, so even a $50 limit with re-betting available is useless and in reality no different to the other bookmakers that limit you down to nothing, as in reality it is just the same as them closing your account.
They aren't the worst at limiting, but that's not saying much with the other complete filth that's out there, but the fact of the matter is, if they make a decision that you are likely to be a long term winner, they will close you down, it's as simple as that, so when it's all said and done, if they think you are a smart bettor that is likely to be a consistent long term winner, they will shut you down, so in the end they really aren't much different at all than all of the other crappy bookmakers that close down smart bettors.
You saying you know people that are six figures up at 5Dimes really doesn't mean much, the context of what they've been betting on, how many bets they've had and a myriad of other stuff is more important. The fact of the matter is, if your mates that are six figures up at 5Dimes are still able to bet there, that means that 5Dimes don't deem them to be smart bettors, as if they came to the conclusion that they are smart bettors, 5Dimes would have shut them down by now.
I never said anybody was stupid to like 5Dimes, they are a good book, just like other bookmakers that shut down smart bettors are good books, but as with the other books that shut down smart bettors, they are only good for as long as you can use them, which isn't long at all if you are a smart bettor. So given that if you actually get any good at being a smart bettor, 5Dimes will shut you down whereas Pinnacle will take bets from anybody, for anybody to say that 5Dimes is the best online bookmaker ahead of a bookmaker like Pinnacle is simply laughable.
