I agree!!!!!!!!!!!

Try one of their sister sites like Sportbet.com. You can login there with your 5Dimes account # and 5Dimes said they run on different servers.

AVOID THIS BOOK.

P.S Tony is a DlCK!

Site works 100% for me try using a different browser I use safari and if I have problems with that I will also use firefox and chrome.

All books bounce checks from time to time this is a processor issue it has nothing to do with the books it is because of the US government. Simple solution is to cash out via **.

Never had a wager canceled due to a bad line, although I do not take shots at obvious bad lines because I know better.

Covers top ten

are you kidding me???

Top ten is a sponsor deal whoever pays to be in the top ten is in.
I do not see The Greek, Pinnacle, or Bookmaker in their top 10 either

ty for info i just made a 5 dimes acct. hmmmm a little worried now

mtneer1212 · 10-30-10, 12:56 PM

The people happiest about 5dimes website issues is probably Betonline --- takes a little focus off of their issues.......

What the heck are you talking about?

Pinnacle, BetJam, DSI, BP, SIA are all in the top 10.

What list are you talking about?

Does not matter because everybody knows that top spots are paid for at all sites including SBR. Hell Rebatewager is a top book in the eyes of SBR and Blackie was recently busted and confessed to both rounding dollar amounts down, even on .99 cents they were rounding down, and paying 5-1 on 3 team parlays when the website advertised 6-1.

AHHH I see why its different. Your site i guess your American shows for American Players. Top Right corner.

On my site which I am Canadian shows the top 10 sportsbook for Canadian players. WOW what a complete different top 10 list.

5 dimes is a good book period

islandcoli · 10-30-10, 10:18 PM

Im a newbie, i use 5dimes, I have no problems

Igetp2s · 10-30-10, 11:01 PM

You can try propbet.com as a mirror site for 5 Dimes if the main sites not working.

Exactly. Not perfect but a top 5 at least. Way to much bitching about this shop.

Johnpoints · 10-31-10, 10:32 AM

5 Dimes has had a lot of problems recently. Even so they're still a top 10 book no question.

Ralphie1412 · 10-31-10, 10:36 AM

In the last 6 months I have won over 20k at 5dimes and have received every penny. I can log in any time I want, the best always go through. Customer service has been nice to me. I love 5 dimes. So many betting options.

nli07 · 10-31-10, 11:08 AM

5 dimes is still A rated last time I checked.

Sawyer · 10-31-10, 11:24 AM

5Dimes is ok.

But Covers' top list is a joke.

The fact that SIA is in their top ten means it's a garbage list right away.

big cheyo · 05-10-11, 03:09 AM

the sites been down a while

LLXC · 05-10-11, 03:29 AM

Wonder if they are facing heavy DDOS attacks?

warriorfan707 · 05-10-11, 03:40 AM

covers is a debacle

end of story

chance · 05-10-11, 04:08 AM

Good Luck 5dimes with the denial of service attack. Hope this goes away ASAP.

andywend · 05-10-11, 04:59 AM

5 Dimes is a great book AS LONG AS YOU DON'T WIN.

If you know what you're doing, then Tony will drastically cut your limits.

When confronted about cutting limits, Tony states he is running a business but Bookmaker, Greek and Pinnacle are also running the exact same kind of business and they do NOT cut player limits.

For this reason, 5 Dimes should NOT be considered as an "A" book.

....

What was meant with cashing out in US with "**"? (I don't mean specifically to one book or another, just in general.)

Personally, I just started with 5Dimes (and haven't bet in a few years, back when WSEX was so great), but I'm getting EXTREMELY frustrated by the 5Dimes crashing and, even more, by their total lack of communication about what's happening and when they'll be back. I like to do my baseball on a schedule at night (so I don't have to cram shit in before work) and they've been crashing almost every day for the past five or six days. When you contact them, there's no "Sorry" or anything like that - they just give vague answers and then they vanish. YOU'RE the customer and yet they make you feel like YOU'RE serving THEM. It's ******* ridiculous. (Suspiciously....I thought their customer service was great BEFORE I made my deposit, but now that they've got my money they don't seem to care.)

One way or another, I've just been disappointed at their suspect customer service. They should know that this is a skeezy industry nowadays (if WSEX could go downhill, then who can't?), and they should at least make SOME efforts to let their customers know what's up so that we won't feel like they're devolving.

If they can't handle traffic (whether it's DOS or whatever), then they should streamline their (messy) interface and they could cut their bandwidth by half in a day. Hire some engineers, communicate with customers....just get your shit together.

Down again this morning but is up again. Not easy to get the reduced juice MLB picks.

5dimes has stated that is indeed the problem.

Fishhead · 05-10-11, 06:43 AM

Can't access this morning

Jerm3462 · 05-10-11, 06:53 AM

This is silly.

Monte · 05-10-11, 07:17 AM

Sooner or later the truth shows on all these shit books.
There is 1 book i consider top notch for US players: the Greek (well and Jamaica for squares, but same family).
The rest in one form or another are all garbage, iam just glad i can use Pinny etc.

mikeyg · 05-10-11, 08:49 AM

Covers is a complete joke... Period!

covers is a total whore site, their top 10 has SBG Global and BetEd on it. If 5 Dimes wanted to spend the money they could buy all ten spots on covers top 10. That site is a joke

clonecat · 05-10-11, 10:34 AM

Very slow but working at the moment

coldhardfacts · 05-10-11, 10:37 AM

Those who think 5Dimes is a bad book obviously have very little experience in the gambling world.

fury · 05-10-11, 10:38 AM

They are getting hit with a denial of service attack. Would be best not to post the mirrors here.
