Isn't matchbook and 5dimes all you need?

Mikail · 10-17-10, 02:51 AM

I was asking this same question not so long ago and came to the conclusion that yes. Matchy and 5dimes is all you need for your offshore betting needs. Now if you burn you bridges at either of these somehow then I could understand using other books. I also like Greek and Betjamaica but exclusively only using 5dimes and just signed up for matchbook.

Monte · 10-17-10, 04:38 AM

5Dimes only works for non-professionals, but if you are not in that category...prolly true ^^

Santo · 10-17-10, 04:51 AM

Depends on your goal; different books will have different lines and promotional offers at times which will certainly help your bottom line; but if you're restricted by bankroll / ease of moving funds then you could do far worse than MB/5D.

Kevy · 10-17-10, 05:14 AM

Five Dimes being labled as a book for non-professionals only is a myth and total bull shit.

All the guys here posting that shit are recreational players that get/got caught f*cking around.
And then when they asked to speak to Tony he sets them straight on how thing are at his Book.
Then they all come in here like little girls crying because Tony spoke sternly to them..........LOL

The guys who run a shop like a BetPhoenix, BetOnline, WagerChief, Etc will let fools talk with disrespect
to them because those shops are f*cking desperate and needy with all the cold calling, 100% bonuses,
and shit like that begging for business.

The guys who run the top shops like Tony at Five Dimes, Spiro at Olympic, the guy at BookMaker, Etc
will tell you guys to go f*ck yourselves when you try pulling shit at their shops and want to cry to them about
it over the phone.

lol, if you don't get limited/delayed at 5D after a maximum of 10 plays, you are indeed a super-square

Toni is a moron, don't compare him to Spiro pls - thanks.

Sawyer · 10-17-10, 07:27 AM

Anybody who thinks 5Dimes is a great book, didn't met Tony yet

HedgeHog · 10-17-10, 07:30 AM

I could possibly get by with just 5D and MB, but prefer to have a few more options.

thespeculator · 10-17-10, 07:52 AM

love 5dimes, i agree with kevy, how many of you have actually been limited for winning , or are just repeating what others have said. Also how much did you win , I don't believe 5dimes will kick you out after a few thousand
i am not doubting people who have been cut, but state how much you won

Monte · 10-17-10, 07:59 AM

It's not about how much you win, but what you bet and at what time.
See, that is the difference between squares and pros, a non-square would know that.

Mudcat · 10-17-10, 08:03 AM

I guess it depends on the individual. For me, I definitely need a lot more than 5dimes and Matchbook.

Matchbook has the best juice on almost every game when you talking about football, basketball or baseball. Of course, if you want to bet parlays or teasers you can't because they don't offer it. And if you want to bet those other sports like soccer and tennis, not sure if there is much liquidity on matchbook. But 5dimes has the most betting options i ever seen and you can bet parlays and teasers. They have it for every single sport there is. Also, they usually have the best juice in baseball games as well. They have reduced juice so would you guys agree there shouldn't be anywhere else besides matchbook and 5dimes that you should play? I wanted to get money into betjamaica/thegreek but then thought what is really the point. 5dimes usually have better lines than them and reduced juice even though my max is $50 because i was dumb a few years ago and took the freeplay bonus instead of reduced juice. I think bodog is good as well if you want to bet NFL underdogs.

But don't you guys agree these are the only 2 books you really need? I had accounts at bookmaker, BetJamaica and thegreek and its always 10 percent juice for nba, nfl games. I mean Fishhead has the top 10 list of books which includes these 5 books and legendz, sportsinteraction etc but really whats the point? I mean i rather have most of my money into 2-3 books than spread it into 10 books don't you agree? I know people line shop etc but i think spreading them out like that is not a good idea. I hear sites like rebatewager and wagerchief and I'm thinking why would you even want money into these books. The only point of having accounts at betjamaica, greek and bookmaker is if you want to bet more and you bet the max at one of your books. Of course its a pain getting money into matchbook as oppose to the other books.

5dimes and MB ar good but if you want the guaranteed best line you have to play at Parlaymakers.

Salamander · 10-17-10, 11:42 AM

As long as there are book-to-book transfers why wouldn't you give yourself a few more outs?

Doug · 10-17-10, 12:13 PM

I agree with MB and 5D being the main ones.

add Betjam for baseball and a few others for football if you like. PM seems OK, too.

noober · 10-17-10, 01:37 PM

as far as tennis is concerned betfair and pinnacle are the best (european only)

SBR John just posted in another thread that one reason liquidity may be down at MB is that some traders are waiting to be paid by MB and other traders owe MB money and arent paying up so there is less trade action.

Shocking if true.

of course!
you need more than MB and 5D unless you only play US sports - they are almost useless for nearly anything else
and then 5D is utterly useless full stop once they start imposing limits
but what do you mean by: "(european only)" ?

Sounds like you are one of those who tried to rip off 5dimes and they caught you. I may very well be rec. Player but I recieve payouts consistantly from 5dimes with no problem. Hell I usually get my payout same day. Don't cheat them and you won't have to deal with Tony. I am sure if you are beating them large over and over you would be limited and why not. Doesn't any book have the right to protect themselves?

I never tried to cheat them
I certainly didn't "beat them large"
I never heard of Tony till I started reading about him here
I never had a problem with payouts
But they slashed my limits to waste-of-time levels so I sacked them
They may be ok for "recreational" players but they are certainly no use to me

Sawyer · 10-17-10, 06:08 PM

Well said. 5Dimes is for recreational players. End of discussion.

You sound like Toni, he accuses you of stealing from him if you grab good lines

5Dimes can be happy there are ppl like yourself out there, or else they could shut this shit book down anyway.

Like I said before. I do win more than I lose there and I have never had problems. My average bet is around $75 so perhaps that's why I have little to no problems. Calling 5dimes a "shit book" is laughable when you look up at some of the crap advertised at the top of this page!

I never would have guessed.
You are right, they are no "shit book", iam just going down to the niveau you used, sorry.
Because saying that someone "rips off" a sportsbook is just as laughable.

Jnas · 10-17-10, 07:52 PM

football teasers at 5 dimes are useless.

Kevy · 10-18-10, 02:05 AM

Shout out to Tony at Five Dimes...........

Tony, I think some of these guys that cry about you at this site were raised by women..........LOL

Stumpage · 10-18-10, 06:35 AM

Probably a few other sites are great go-to places in addition to the suggested two (Pinnacle of course if you're allowed in; Greek and probably BetFair as well) but 5D is a great out, there's no questioning that. Unfortunately they showed me the door about 3 years ago.....

can you give an exemple of how can someone f*ck around with 5dimes? if u was thinking of unlogical lines that players profited from almost all such bets were voided by 5dimes.

Monte · 10-18-10, 10:40 AM

Manage the book, not the player...Tony decided it is easier to take all the easy money from the fish, and cut off the ppl with a clue. End of the story, squares.

sideloaded · 10-19-10, 01:54 AM

Tony is whiny bitch afraid of anybody that can hit above 50 %.

Sawyer · 10-19-10, 08:43 PM

5Dimes' Reduced Juice is great. My advice is, use them 'til they show you the door.

King Mayan · 10-20-10, 03:28 AM

Bahahahahahahaha some guys in here are holding Tony's wee wee!!

Hareeba! · 10-20-10, 04:22 AM

I'm not a Yank but my dictionary defines "dime" as being ten cents.

so five dimes is 50 cents?

rather appropriate I would say considering their betting limits

in much the same way as Bet $3.65

magician · 10-20-10, 04:50 AM
