    5 Dimes - Are they still credible?
    I just want to hear something good about 5 dimes because I have money in there and I have never withdrawn money from them before. Who has withdrawn money from there account recently? Were there any issues?

    Top of the line book. Very reliable. Don't worry about the extended amateur hour over in the other thread, where the zombies all got up from the slots at the same time and decided to mosey over to the sportsbook, chanting in unison that a bad line should be honored. Just be thankful for their presence.

      They are a recreational book. They will limit you if you start winning.

          feel the same here, but if you anger tony right or wrong you will have a hard time getting all your money, he will offer less than you expect and tell you you are lucky to get it, this has happened plenty of times already in these forums. - every self proposed god turns out to be the devil in disguise. 5dimes is a great place but i would not play there as long as tony is running it.

            Considerable volume of complaints for a top rated book. Do a forum search and make up your own mind of course and remember, 5Dimes is an advertiser at SBR.

              If you are a business owner and you don't micromanage your business, you will likely go out of business. People respond to what you inspect, not what you expect. Micromananging is business 101.

                Mostly drones, repeating what they've heard somewhere, because it makes them look like they have inside knowledge about Tony. The guy said he was god one time, years ago, and people can't get enough of it.

                Meanwhile, he runs a first class book. The complaints are by people who either don't know the rules, and run to the forums, or who want to have their arse kissed. The typical mamma's boys, in other words. Of course, the last thing you want to do is tell a mamma's boy the truth. Then all hell breaks loose. lol

                    When I did well betting I-AA for $200 limits, Tony cut my limits to $100 and I made the mistake of asking why the limits were lowered. He said "how dare I beat him to his ******* lines." Other than Fishhead you're easily the most daft poster here with 10k+ posts so I'm sure you have absolutely no idea what happens to winning bettors at 5Dimes, but try to actually refrain from drooling on your keyboard for once and stop claiming to have any sort of idea why there are complaints about 5Dimes.

                      I had a golf bet where I was a 99 percent winner heading into round 4, only to have Tony (their GM) freeze my account and change my bet because he said I got a bad line. My guy was up 3 and all he had to do is finish in the to 20.

                      When I cashed a bet earlier this summer they made me run to Kinkos 5 or 6 times to fax front and back of my CC, even though I had deposited by **.....LOL! They played me for a fool.

                      They are great if you like sending in money and never winning. In fact, if you never plan on cashing a single time they might be the best because they offer tons of props.

                      The problem is that God forbid you have something go right. You will be sweating every minute. First you have to win the bet, then you have to sweat the payout. Maybe some people have had good experiences with 5Dimes, but I know that the only two times that something went right with me it was World War 3 to get money or I ended up getting my bet changed and cheated.

                      Have fun. Make sure you don't forget to report them if they act like subhuman garbage.

                          It looks like I got the worst of it.....5Dimes took a shot at me. However, I flipped it around on their Thug Asses and now, instead of it being on me, it is now on them. I got cheated out of thousands and they end up getting a lot fewer deposits. I bet that his actions cost him six figures in deposits. And my story will be the gift that keeps on giving, because I am like that. Gotta have fun once in a while when someone steals your money. He will never know how much money he cost himself. The tally will be for eternity as more and more people read about how he handled the situation. When people do dumb and criminal things it is best to let people know about it.

                          All I did was tell the whole story....all true and nobody has disputed anything. So, take whatever side you want, but remember, 5Dimes cost themselves a lot of money by doing what they did, so in a way, even if they are right, they are wrong.

                          The best part is that if my thread ever gets taken down then I will just start it elsewhere and I will even hire people to post the whole story for me. So, now I cannot lose, in a way. I get to tell my story and I have CONTROL. Tony thought he had control when he froze my account and deleted the archives of my bet, but what I have done now and punched a BULLY right between the eyes.

                          And he is quiet as a mouse just praying that I give up. All is fair.

                            How do you know it is a BAD line if 5Dimes is the only sportsbook offering it?

                            DO I have to assume it?

                              If you read the other thread discusing this, you'll see that yes it was a bad line. He got a line of 20-1 to finish in top20, odds to finish top5 and top10 were posted lower than 20-1.

                                Skrtelfan, I try to treat each book, where I choose to play, according to its wishes and personality. It's a game that requires a certain level of subtlety. It therefore does not surprise me that it passed you by. You, who can't stop telling the world that a book limited you. lol

                                  Dark Horse how much is 5dimes paying you to post good things about them? Because they are a lousy book and everyone knows it.

                                    5dimes is easily a top 5 book of all books that cater to US players.

                                    The only people I hear complaining are ones like the poster above who took a shot at a 2-1 line that was mistakenly posted at 20-1 the guy is only angry because he thought he got away with it and started counting his chickens before the eggs hatched.

                                        voice of reason , 5dimes is awesome , when a thread pops up about 5dimes not paying ,then i would worry, you won't see any of those. My most recent payout was about 3 weeks through a wallet , done in 35 minutes. The best in the biz IMO

                                            I just read (the beginning) of your other thread. You bet into an obviously wrong line. Complain about the customer service if you want but he was in the right to change the line.

                                              dark horse -- like most of your views in your posts but not when it comes to 5dimes. do you know anyone else in you entire life who compared themselves to GOD. so it happened a couple years ago. it happened. someone who controls your money thinks when it comes to you and your money he is GOD.

                                                I have never had a problem getting paid by 5Dimes. They offer great lines. To me, they are one of the top 4 books there are. I guess they don't like people betting bad lines.
