    you didn't know at the time you were betting the mlb game that you were freerolling, and didn't do it intentionally, but the mlb bet stands no matter what. every book in the world would've had the mlb bet stand.
    I don't understand why the MLB bet wouldn't just be N/A'd?

    HOW DO YOU KNOW? Are you aware of the outcomes of the other million disputes with 5 Dimes? Yeah, they paid you, (small potatos) it doesn't mean they paid everyone

    I'm POSITIVE it would have been graded NO ACTION had he won it. People here are saying "well they couldnt do that!".


    They can do whatever they want- What are you gonna do about it, call a cop?

    how would it even be possible for someone to see and grade no action? his other bet wasn't re-graded as a loss until the next day.

    and 5dimes isn't going to break their own rules over a lousy couple hundred bucks

    5Dimes reserves the right to correct grading errors at any time. If an account reaches a negative balance due to the re-grade of an event, all in-progress pending wagers will stand and be honored. Since winning wagers in this instance will be honored, immediate settlement of losing wagers is also expected.

    Regul8er - It's your call... do you need 5D in your arsenal of books? Or.... not needed?

    Pay em if you need them.

    Walk away if you don't.

    Simple as that.

    And were suppose to just trust this recommendation from someone who has 117 posts and joined 5/4/18 because you dont want to take time to write the reasonsS? Sounds a little too much like a book pushing ghost account when you do that.

    Absolutely not... I'm just talking from experience, a bad experience with Bookmaker and I probably know a little more about this company than most. Don't ever take a bonus or free bet from them.

    You got a watch because books can take you to court for nonpayment but most will not do that

    Simple computer glitch. I guarantee if you address it with their CS theyll zero it out. Is that it? Because thats such a simple fix

    LOL, in where San Juan? "Yes, your honor, I run an offshore sportsbook in a central American country illegally using the US banking system to fund the accounts, and the defendant freerolled me when my operation incorrectly graded a game, and then allowed him to place funds on another event. That action lost, and now he owes, but refuses to pay. Can I get a judgement in my favor, so I can seize his assets?"

    On what planet are you on JJ? Has the New Jersey air polluted your sensibility?

    Amazing how many people play at 5dimes. Even more amazing that it has an A. 😂😂😂. Can't wait for the legal books to put it out of business. So poorly run.

    They pay for that A rating, its a commercial- My favorite book gets a D and it has the best lines, best props, best customer service, best no rollover free bets and have paid me everytime for over 12 years..

    Oddly enough, besides BM the place that's paid me the quickest and have never had one single issue with over past 7 years also has a very low rating on here. Probably 50+ payments of over 1k within 48 hours every time. Pre btc as well.

    I was with Bowmans when the internet was first invented, and i've been with just about every book out there since- My experience trumps any rating...

    5dimes misgraded a live betting ultra bet on me Friday morning. 3 days later they correct it, of course on Friday I had plenty to cover that, not so much today, and now have a negative balance for the first time ever

    Why would they wait 3 days to regrade a bet?

    A lot of euro books say if theres an error in settlement, you are to hold the money in trust for them. I guess 3 days isnt unreasonable, but 3 weeks would be.
    Its not the law, just one of their terms.

    Im not sure what happens with a negative balance. Id guess its a stand off, if you guys wanna keep playing - you have to pay.
    Id be worried, if you do pay and want to keep playing - you may be limited to $0 bets once you get the balance back to positive lol

    Because I assumed it would be fixed pretty quickly, especially because it was live betting ultra and that is graded nearly instantly. And I had plenty in my account to cover the eventual reverse had it happened the same day. Of course I ended up going on a ridiculous losing streak

    I’m not complaining, nor do I think it’s unfair. I’ve just been playing at 5d for years and never had a negative balance and then i do today and stumbled on this thread
