5 Dimes or BookMaker????????

whatsgood5 · 03-21-10, 10:42 AM

Def. 5dimes IMO. They've got a ridiculous amount of teasers available.

exstatman · 03-21-10, 10:45 AM

Agreed. They will almost always offer a halftime line that allows the player to bet the trailing team will win outright, which few will do. If you're coming from a Bodog mentality, you will be thrilled to see moneylines on almost everything, rather than the limited Bodog offerings.

5Dimes

BeatTheJerk · 03-21-10, 11:05 AM

Tell Tony to go fvck himself. That Telephone offshore tuff guy.

Sawyer · 03-21-10, 12:47 PM

Bookmaker: Bad baseball lines, slow payouts, no loyalty points/bonus if you're winner on the long haul.
5Dimes: Tony d*ckhead. Enough said..

TheGreek, Matchbook and Betjamaica are all you need..

It's popular to jump on the Tony is an asshole bandwagon. I have had nothing but good encounters with the guy. Who can blame him for getting a little colorful when someone is cheating his book.

90% of the guys calling Tony an asshole have never had any direct interaction with him.

5Dimes....people may think there head guy is a dik but ur $$$ is safe there and they have tons of betting options....just don't bet limit wagers on steam

tltaylor89 · 03-21-10, 04:51 PM

Bookmaker is an originator but they lack in the payout department because they are so big. 5dimes is a rec book that will kick you if you make 30K fast payouts .

jjgold · 03-21-10, 05:02 PM

5 Dimes

Bookmaker is solid though

minet123 · 03-21-10, 07:03 PM

5 Dimes,tony is just a old tyme bookmaker who got this "magic thinking box

" to do his wagers

oiler · 03-21-10, 07:06 PM

fsugolf · 03-21-10, 07:44 PM

i never had any direct contact with g w. bush either. pretty sure he is the biggest asshole of the my lifetime. how about hitler, have you met him. do you think he was an asshole.

neither book----5 dimes because of tony-----bookmaker because of fee's on book to book is $200.

Bookmaker, they have some really nice odds for Moneylines.

iceminers26 · 03-21-10, 11:11 PM

5dimes

tofuman · 03-22-10, 12:13 AM

well lets see, parlays and teasers are for squares (newbs).. but if you want to save the most money then you go with betfair or matchbook

agreed. i know my money wont go missing here. ive had good payouts from these guys with no hassles.

yahoonino · 03-22-10, 01:42 AM

bookmaker ,,your money are safe,,,and they pay

Smurf71 · 03-22-10, 08:53 PM

Thing is Bookmaker lets you play and win, 5 Dimes will kick you out after about 50 large. If you get really lucky you get cursed by Tony in process.In all honesty I have to say that 5Dimes will pay you fast as long as they let you play. BM customer service is bit like Soviet Union, another words shitty, they payout is slow and expensive but they wont even blink the eye when you take them for 100k. There is a main difference- 5Dimes is rec. book, BM is pro book. BM cs is ignorant, 5Dimes you will eventually get Tony and he will tell you what he would do with your mother... Nobody is perfect I guess

statnerds · 03-22-10, 09:05 PM

using both of them right now, but at least 75% of my action is through 5Dimes. BM's ML Odds indeed do blow. i only use BM if there is a difference in lines, like the Over in Duke the 2nd H. 5D had 76.5 and BM had 75.5. it is good to have a few outs.

and the BM bet points are nice, which build up quickly as long as you are not a 'professional'.

5Dimes Reduced is the way to go.

5Dimes way better with much more options on live betting.

5Dimes better baseball lines.

never had an issue with payouts from either.

jackkkk2009 · 03-23-10, 03:27 AM

I prefer 5dimes. They have more options and reduced lines for basketball, football and baseball too. the site loads very fast, and it's so easy to use it. Bookmaker.com's site it isn't that fast as 5dimes. the pages load a little slow. and they keep calling you all the time. that's kind of annoying!

Preston09 · 03-23-10, 03:56 AM

I have 5dimes and have had no problems so far. I am kind of worried about the big payout bullying I have been hearing about, with Tony, so far.

LUCKYCHUCK · 03-23-10, 05:04 AM

They are both ok not great

trixtrix · 03-23-10, 11:20 AM

the biggest determinant is something you have not mentioned, which is bet size. if your average bet size is 500$ or less, 5 dimes in a run-away.

more than that, bookmaker gets proportionally better as your bet size grows larger

and lol at posters that think 5 dimes offer their low juice teaser menus to EVERYONE

36mafia · 03-23-10, 11:29 AM

about to get to 600 pts and spend it on $50 sports book cash
anybody have free sports book cash experience with either of them?

Mr. Teaser · 03-23-10, 07:31 PM

Someone said it best

5dimes is for recreational players

Bookmaker is for the larger player

Also, if you get into Bookmakers Diamond Club the CS is good. As far as payments I cannot speak about 5 Dimes but Bookmaker has paid me consistently for years. You can also request large payout amounts without a problem.

tltaylor89 · 03-23-10, 07:32 PM

Diamond has better baseball lines

Ya just got $50 in BM cash last week. It only took 2 days and it was in my account- Thanks to SBR!

I've seen on here and on a couple other threads that books will kick players out for making too much cash and I don't understand it cuz if they were smart they would just start tailing those players for big cash at other books and even at Vegas sportsbooks Ya'know?

36mafia · 03-24-10, 07:27 PM

preciate the insight. but i think books make money by taking bets instead of placing them. easier to limit a player thats taking your cash than to blindly tail a person

5 dimes it is
