    I've watched a guy consistently win 10's of thousands of dollars last few yrs.

    No doubt in my mind he must be wise.

    Yet they haven't booted him so that says a lot in my opinion.

    Still solid. They did lower my NFL teaser limits 3/4 way through the season but not a big deal.

    Just too many hoops in my opinion. If you use this method to deposit you have to jump through a,b,c. Great betting options with the open parlays, not a big fan of their live betting. I would say it’s archaic and slow behind heritage. But again it always comes down to how easy is it to put money in and take money out. If you’re a long time person there it may be easier but if you only use them occasionally it’s kind of a pain in my opinion. I like bookmaker and heritage as my 2 books much better

    no complaints about how they run the business

    the ugliest interface in the business by a mile...especially that clunky live bet section.

    I grade them an A+. Reasonably quick payout using Bitcoin. I have cashout for several thousands of dollars with no limits on my bet size.

    I have reported the cashouts to the SBR forum previously.

    I have no concerns.

    The only thing that has changed is no more Tony stories. I liked Tony, and had a few interesting chats with him (never anything bad). But other than player CS experiences, nothing seems to have changed. Bitcoin payouts are just as fast. The way the manage lines doesn't seem to have drastically changed.

    Was Tony an owner or manager/linesman/CS escalated chatter? If he had no ownership interest in the company, things would be much simpler. But so far, things look good, and I'd have no fear of keeping a large balance there.

    Holding up okay. Same likes, same dislikes as before.

    Live betting options have have gotten worse, and s Little ‘tricky/cute’

    less options during timeouts v main page. Emphasis on directing action to their “live betting ultra page”
    where juice is at least -120. Sometimes -129 on sides.

    I understand, during the volatile bitcoin times, a 24-48 hour payout can be an issue WHEN that happens. The majority of time it isn't and I never hear from anyone who profits from an extra 24 hour wait. If you need your money right away, bet at brick and mortar sportsbooks. Check that, if you need your money instantly, you shouldn't be betting.

    I'd like a sexier web look too, but I know how to navigate the web site in my sleep; when Bookmaker went to the new interface, many screamed. The mobile app and have to tilt things is a PITA and I would dock them big there as mobile is where's it's at, especially with live betting.


    Still not a better selection then at 5D. NCAA hockey and baseball, lottery, a real buffet line of options. And since Tony's departure, I haven't noticed a skipped beat, but I ain't in Costa Rica. If I can split hairs a low A- grade because of the mobile, but for your purposes Sammy "A".



    ++++++++++++++++++++++

    Maintenance was supposed to start tomorrow according to their site, but at the main site right now I get:

    500 - Internal server error.
    There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

    Mirror site worked here.

    5Dimes needs to get wire payouts back again and more deposit/withdraw options. A trusted CC processor and perhaps a UK license wouldnt hurt. Always hated the FedEx cheque from a numbered company based in Canada from CIBC but drawn in USD. Never a problem as the max is $3000. Getting the fuk out of Costa fukin Rica wouldnt hurt either

    Personally I enjoy sending a picture of my license 15x in one day until they tell me it’s not blurry, along with a verification email then wait for the verification call...then god forbid your at work and miss the verification call you have to start the process all over. Good news is you do eventually get the money. Just ask for a damn sperm sample and be done with it.
