what is with everyone making a new thread asking the same questions? It's simple all you do is go to the search bar and type in 5Dimes and it shows you every 5Dimes thread that people already made here.

5 Dimes has excellent lines for baseball.

Been with the Dime for a couple of years never an issue

good shop for recreational punters
elect for reduced juice rather than the bonus
but if you are a serious punter expect to be severely limited before too long

I think a lot of new posters want don't realize that there are 100's of new threads daily here and if they don't see the topic on page 1 of threads, they assume it's a new and/or fresh topic. Others who've been here a while (or any other forum for that matter) should know better, but apparently they don't.

What is it with people bitching about the number of threads on one topic??? It would be even simpler for you to ignore all the threads if it bothers you that much, or maybe sbr will hire you to police the forum.

Customer service sucks

it's not quite that simple
the title of many threads don't accurately reflect the OP
the only way to know what the issue is is to open and read them

grt shop for rec. players ,all type of bets can parlay almost anything ,been there 3 yrs no coplaints except maybe min. withdrawal by check is 1000 ,so if you want less you might have to pay!

katstale · 12-06-10, 06:15 PM

No Pros there, but I am pretty sure abt the Cons.

BEANTOWNJIM is saying they now charge $60 for a check (on Monday) and that is a check for over 2k....so the free payout may be gone entirely ? I believe him.

Pros:
1. Quick payouts.
2. Reduced juice.
3. Easy to deposit with CC.
4. Lots of betting options.
5. Tony. (whether you like him or not, the guy is fair)

Cons:
1. Limit collars if you're a winner.
2. Minimum withdrawal amounts for certain payout methods.
3. "Free" payouts only between certain hours on Monday.

customer service is brutal

MartinBlank · 12-07-10, 07:52 AM

5Dimes is solid book.

Fast payouts.

Monte · 12-07-10, 08:11 AM

Good job, we def. needed more 5D threads. ^^
The biggest PRO are the copy&paste chats with Tony here

Agreed

Customer service is a little bit rude but 5Dimes is a good book. Reduced Juice is cool but limit is 500$. Not to mention, they lower your limit if you beat them over the long haul.

So use 5dimes 'til they show you the door. Then carry on with TheGreek/Bookmaker/Matchbook.

For baseball season, your trio should be Matcy, 5Dimes, BetJamaica. Add Pinnacle too if you're living outside of US.

any soccer league you can imagine, outside of the asian books i don't think anyone has their soccer variety

Sawyer · 12-07-10, 08:57 AM

Don't say bad things about Tony.

Tony is a god.

LoL.

richb7a · 12-08-10, 05:12 PM

five dimes is good book, use them with matchbook, or byitself,

Aristocles · 12-08-10, 05:55 PM

No complaints. Customer service has been both kind and helpful to me. Admittedly, I am a bit behind there, not bad but a smidge, so I cannot comment on the "collars" or the payouts.

For parlays, reduced vig, and variety of events offered, I love the 'joint'. . .

AS for this gentleman, Tony, I have no idea if I have had interaction with him. Frankly, though, if the copy & paste efforts I see here are reflective of him, he seems like a straight forward, no bullshit kind of guy.

dialup_king · 12-08-10, 06:37 PM

5dimes has limit collars, but they don't do it across the board. You can bet soft stuff like props, get limited on props, while betting props learn about other things, then bet those at regular limits before getting limited.

djefferis · 12-08-10, 07:42 PM

Pro: reduced cost payouts on Mondays (once ever 30 days), reduced juice option on all major sports, a line for anything, early lines
Con: quick to limit your reduced juice, cs is ok..not great, no free fedex option (only instant deposit, **/** or gp for us) so max amt is 850-1500 unless you use gp.

Overall an A book for most players. YMMV
