I'm done with 5dimes

[Fishscale]

Every time I win, they take longer to put the funds in my account, causing me to miss the timeframe to bet on the next game.

But when I lose, they take the money within seconds of the final score.

Also, another weird thing is whenever I have a great day, I get some sort of phonecall or email verifying it's me. It's as if they're looking for reasons to stall my account.

What's the best no nonsense site out there?

That's unfortunate....There are some complaints on them.

[Monte]

They only want super-squares and loosers, if you win they dislike you. A lot, more than most other books i mean.

The guy in the thread below used 5Dimes to turn $90 to over $20K and he didn't list any problems with anything

What kind of bets are you making Fishscale?

[durito]

How do they take the money? They aren't grading bets on an account basis you just have selective memory.

[brxbmbers42]

a lot of books are like that. losing wagers are graded instantly when clock hits zero. and winners take 10 mins. i bet with 5 dimes for about a week during nba finals. the first wager i ever made was a lakers second half bet. the game won and they graded as a loss. like they thought i was too stupid too know it was a winner. so i called up and cs tried to argue with me for 10 mins that it was a loser when it was a clear winner. fukkin ridiculous

Monte is 100% on target about 5 Dimes.

As long as you are consistently losing, they are thrilled to have you as a customer. However, if you win, you are treated like you are stealing Tony's money and are shown the door via vastly reduced betting limits.

Bookmaker, Pinnacle and The Greek are 3 books that are rock solid financially and will accept business from all bettors both winners and losers, both sharp and square. None of the 3 above mentioned books have ever kicked people out for winning or reduced a bettors limits assuming you don't chase steam.

Bookmaker, Pinnacle and the Greek deserve their A+ ratings while 5 Dimes should be rated no higher than B as they make it clear as day that winning bettors are NOT welcome at their site.

good grief!

one can only feel sorry for someone who believes that

[Mikail]

It's true. I've noticed this also. At first I thought it was just me and it seemed that way but losing wagers are graded faster than winners. I don't know why cuz I always thought the wagers were graded by game.

[DragonTrigger]

I just joined 5Dimes last week. They don't give you any info on how things work like BetJam does. I lost two games last week because i wanted to buy a point to get off a +2.5 to a +3.5 but the pull down menu wasn't there. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not. Also when i try to bet a teaser it gets very confusing. A full page opens up with every kind of teaser in the world. When i click on one of them it say's 'we're not accepting this teaser as of now'. I heard 5Dimes was good but i'm not at all happy with them so far.

Yeah, from the screen shots I've seen I don't like the 5Dimes interface. I've been with Bodog for 2 weeks now and I know that alot of people don't like that they put up their lines until really late, but I really like their website design and betting interface. At least with Bodog it's hard to get confused about anything since everything is so easy to find and you'll always know you will get paid.

One minor thing I don't like about Bodog is their Round Robin betting screen, I wish it would generate and show you all possible combinations of your bets. For example, if you do a 3 team round robin and make it into 3 parlays of 2 teams each. It should generate those and show you how much each parlay can potentially win.

I also wish they would mark the home and away teams when it comes to football. It would be really easy to just put (home) and (away) next to the teams on the betting screen so you don't have to go to espn or click on their "preview" and "matchup" links just to see who is the home team.

I can't believe you wouldn't have done your homework and know where the game is being played before even logging on to look at the odds.

Is it any wonder that 95%+ of punters lose!

[Rollins08]

They pay really fast. Thats the most important thing in my book.

It happens with the most,believe me.i place bets at more than 40 books

[ehp6737]

This thread is very contradicting. On one hand you say 5Dimes only wants squares (which I do agree with by the way). So then why would there be some big conspiracy by 5Dimes to grade your winning wagers slowly? If your a square, don't you think they would want you making as many wagers as possible, instead of tying up your money. Isn't the 1st rule of gambling to keep em playing? And for what it's worth I made 3 NFL wagers with them this past Sunday and the 2 winners were graded within 1 minute of the game being over.

Can you share with the forum what % of your life savings goes to 5Dimes per year?

I'm a Pro player. I have probaly won more there than at any other out. Maybe Olympic just as much or close.
Been with 5D's since they opened their doors. I'm one of the best cappers and well known posters on any
of the sites since 1997. I'm not some recreational square newbie who just stumbled into a thread about this
book.

I will end it on this (not going to waste my time with back and forth banter)

If a player is not happy at a top tier boook like Five Dimes, or even others like Olympic, BookMaker,
Bet Jamaica, Etc. Leave.....go hook up with the outs that have the "B" and lower grades/ratings and
see if life is any better for you at those books in the next tier(s) down.

Fellas nothing but respect for everyone. But this is just a subject where we do not and probaly
will not see eye to eye.

[soxwin1917]

Why would they slow grade only your winners?

I would imagine for a bettor like you they want you to be on whatever that next game is. Chasing the action.

What kind of bets are you making Fishscale?

I bet on mostly baseball and football.

I play early games and depending on whether I win or lose affects how much I play the next games. For example, college football games start at 12:00pm and the next round start at 3:30. Usually the game is over by 3:10-3:15. Now I want to go big on the 3:30 game but can't because the game I just won doesn't show up in my account until after kick off.

It wouldn't be as much of a problem if they took a long time to grade the losing tickets as well, but since they don't it leads me to believe it's some sort of strategy on their part.

What's with the disrespect? A 14 year poster who is extremely well connected and knowledgeable
about the industry has a different take and suddenly there is a bunch of childish insults and stuff.
Basically it kills the credibility of the original poster and those that conduct themselves that way.

Us more serious players that do this for a living I guess we approach this a little more seriously.
To each there own. Good luck this Football season.

[thebestthereis]

have won much more than i have lost at 5dimes (10's of thousands), never a phonecall or late night singing telegrams; make note no stripper comps or free chinese lessons either.

I sorta wonder if maybe some of the issues with them are from players who play and win a lot
with Tennis, Soccer, WNBA, MMA, Props, Steam, Etc. None of the Books (top tier or bottom feeders)
like getting beat with that type of action. That's always been pretty well documented.

I have never had any problems. But I just play Baseball, NFL, NBA, and college
football and basketball. I win consistently and they pay me consistently.

I do, but when you are looking at all the teams on the betting screen, I don't have the home team memorized each week. It would just be real easy for them to include "home" next to the relevant team, not too hard.

I usually look at all the odds first and then pick a few I like, then look into all the stats and everything, where they are playing, injuries, etc.

[pokernut9999]

Ever heard of rolling if bets ?

You do not have to wait for a wager to be graded

One of the best features at 5dimes

[exstatman]

Can't use that if you took reduced juice, however. I'm still trying to figure out this issue with grading losers too quickly, maybe someone can explain it?

[Cicima6709]

How exactly does a rolling if bet work?

/newb question

[trixtrix]

credit winnings might be a legit complaint, but what does it matter how fast/slow they take to grade the losers? anyways the money is in pending status and you cannot use it again..

[Aces]

How exactly does a rolling if bet work?

/newb question

You have a wager thats outstanding (The game is not over or it has not been graded) you can place a wager based on the outcome of your outstanding wager. Example if my wager on Miami vs Pitt wins or pushes I want to bet on Alabama. It is the best feature at 5 dimes.

On the other hand their customer service deserves an F rating. This is the only book I have ever called and been told to **** off. I still play with them as a secondary book but I do my best not to talk to them.

strange way to bet imho

if the Alabama play is worth betting you should be doing so regardless of the pending outcome of Miami v Pitt

If your account is drained and you are waiting on them to grade a wager this is the way to do it

[Hareeba!]

I s'pose so but I'd not like to be relying on an earlier result to be able to stake a good bet. What if the earlier result was a loser?

[KC]

They grade fast in my opinion, even obscure props seem to be credited quickly.
