screw u tony

**moses millsap** · 10-27-10, 12:53 AM

i quit after i read post #12 with the chat with tony...he is TOTALLY correct here; OP took BLATANT shots on bad lines and anybody who doesn't know it is mentally retarded...i dont know how anybody can be whining about tony and 5d here at all???

**prop** · 10-27-10, 04:33 AM

I read the first page only. Its obvious to me this was a bad line, and that Tony acted fairly changing it to 3 to 1.

Not sure where the other 19 pages of discussion go on this topic, but the only real issue here is how often does 5Dimes set bad lines? The opportunity to freeroll via setting bad lines is too great so any book setting bad lines frequently should not be considered a top player friendly site. In this specific case though and reading only the first page this is clear cut and I think Tony handled it just fine (based on what I read on page one of this thread).

Why not play there? Reduced Juice is great

Use 5dimes to the end, 'til they show you the door.

I find 5dimes to be quite fair; it has excellent lines, lots of betting options, and good customer service. Only place I use under my present situation. Love it.

**nobs** · 10-27-10, 06:41 PM

Seems there is now another issue with 5 dimes. Shocker.

seems 5 dimes tried to grade a winning bet as a loser.

**thegreen** · 05-14-11, 08:39 AM

WOW...How can they be A+ book???? 5dimes should be C at best

**denn333** · 05-14-11, 09:06 AM

You know you responded to a post from over 6 months ago, right?

How can they be an A book? Oh I dunno, they've paid quickly and without issue for over a decade.

Every book has its particular flaws, even the industry leaders like Greek and Bookmaker. If 5Dimes' flaws are an issue for you, play elsewhere.

I'm sure that was his intent. After all he had to do a search to bring this old thread back up. Always an agenda around here, lol.

This guy's a clown. Every post is negative and full of misinformation. He likes making "sky is falling" posts too. According to him, the industry is collapsing and your money isn't safe anywhere... yet he continues to visit SBR, lol.

**abedin** · 05-14-11, 09:36 AM

No problem with 5 dimes since 3 years. Deposit or cashout: no problem!

**mtneer1212** · 05-14-11, 09:46 AM

If you guys want to avoid 5dimes, then so go ahead, but you are nuts. Excellent book, just play fair, stop using bots, and notify them in the case of a bad line. Geez.

**Foosball Champ** · 05-14-11, 11:26 PM

I pretty sure if you would lost the bet they would have took your money with a big smile.

**soldier1047** · 05-15-11, 12:56 PM

5dimes is decent. I had no complaint with them. I have been playing for about 4 years now.

**louis** · 05-16-11, 03:02 AM

They cancelled one of my bets, line was suppose to be +140/-160 and they had it reversed -160/+140. I bet +140 was suppose to be -160. They cancelled it before the game started. I don't feel I did anything wrong to bet it. They are responsible for the lines that they offer - not me. And I don't think they did anything wrong to cancel it, either, as long as they are willing to let the cancellation go both ways. That is, I can call them up and cancel bets that I have made as long as there has not been a line change.

**Sawyer** · 05-16-11, 11:14 AM

Never had a problem with 5Dimes (except limits)..but still good book. Don't bet on bad (opened by mistake etc) lines and you'll be fine.

5Dimes' reduced juice is amazing. 5Cent Baseball lines and 10cent Baseball Totals. It makes huge difference over the long haul. Limits are low but use it 'til they show you the door.

**shaunovery** · 05-16-11, 11:25 AM

**rochestertitans** · 05-16-11, 11:43 AM

ehh

**Borat38** · 05-16-11, 12:17 PM

I don't have a problem with 5Dimes either, but my take on this old grievance is this: When bettors lose, it means they made an honest mistake approximating the game's outcome. On the other side of the fence, a bad line is an honest mistake by the book. So if a book has no problem raking in people's losses every damn day, then they should own up and pay up when they make a mistake in turn.

**Bcatswin** · 05-16-11, 12:18 PM

Was literally going to deposit with them today, and just happened to see this thread in the PT. Im not so sure now.

**chase hardy** · 05-16-11, 12:46 PM

The point is tony is a true dick and keeps repeating hisself!!

**goucla** · 05-16-11, 12:49 PM

I have nevr really played there but they said I have multiple accounts and cant open any

**BOP24** · 05-16-11, 01:19 PM

Never a problem playing there. Luckily I haven't incurred the wrath of this infamous "Tony" yet

Thanks. I got paid IN FULL on my winning matchup bets for the Super Bowl, and even won a bit on the Masters after making a few plays.

The moral of the story is that if there ever seems to be a line that looks really good, or a situation where there could be some confusion or dispute if you win the bet, it is best to STAY FAR AWAY from making those plays.

This Tony guys has his reasons for doing things, and 5Dimes offers so many different props that there is bound to be disputes all of the time. He is sending a message to avoid grey areas with him, and he is willing to put up with a few threads per year like this in order to send that message.

If they make a mistake, even if they realize it after the fact, you will be the one who is penalized, and they will determine if a mistake is made.

They should be rated as a B or so. No way an A+. But because of their many betting options it just may be worth having an account there. But if a prop looks too good, you run the risk of getting free-rolled, since they will wait for you to win and then say SORRY.

You will have to determine on your own if any of your bets will put you in harms way. The whole point is to get the best odds for your bets, so just be careful. Getting good odds is NOT taking a shot.

Good luck everybody. I told you that Jay Cutler sucks, too. Always has SUCKED.

Another thing to consider...... Some books who advertise with SBR you almost never hear a negative about, (Bjam, greek). Others who also advertise, such as 5dimes, Bodog, there are many complaints. Considering SBR'S rulings in the recent casino disputes (esp Tberry's), one might conclude that doing any business with a book/casino that has an add banner at the top of the page and High complaint volume is a deadly combo for the player in any dispute.

**tony_come** · 05-26-11, 12:28 PM

Yep be careful with 5dimes

the rest: no comment

**losemyloot** · 05-26-11, 12:55 PM

As long as I have reduced juice at 5dimes they will be my #1 out (unless Pinnacle comes back to the US) or a good exchange comes around.

These stories are friggin constantly coming out about their behavior. I don't care if they were the last book available to bet with. I'd rather not bet at all than risk this crap happening to me and I've said the same thing to anyone who has ever asked.

Learn one thing Tony from Marketing 101 - A happy customer tells three friends. An unhappy one tells ten.

That friggin nitwit needs to stay the hell away from Chat. He's going to bury his business at some point, great props or not.

this is worth a bump

**mikeanite** · 05-26-11, 01:09 PM

What "shit" popped up about 5Dimes exactly?

**jkilla990** · 05-26-11, 01:44 PM

The fact is, at least in my opinion, that the line was obviously bad. Im nto saying you knew that betting it and he obviously waited too long to contact you, but if they odds for him to get top 5 was less than top 20 somethings wrong. Tony should have caught it faster but with all the props that 5 dimes offers its hard to make sure that all the lines are legit. That being said he should have came to a conclusion with you about what to pay you, I think you should have gotten more than 2-1 but not close to 20-1.

**nobs** · 05-26-11, 02:33 PM

Another probelm with 5 dimes. Lol. Why in the world would anyone play with this book simply because it has an A rating. I like SBRFORUM, dont get me wrong, but over the years there have been many many A rated books that turned out to be shit.

Aces Gold was an A book before it fuked everyone.

BetCamelot was an A book before it went under.

VWager/MVPSportsbook/BHB were like B or B+ before they went bankrupt.

There are others too, I cant remember them all.

Point is dont play at a book just because its an A rated book. Look at these constant complaints which seem to always be about the same book. Dont listen to me, dont listen to SBR, judge for yourself. Which book has a new complaint about it like every week ? ( and I know this one is from last September, but there are several new 5 dimes complaints in the last month )
