Lot of negative talk about 5 dimes for an A+ rating. How safe is it...

[austintx05]

...to play at 5 dimes these days.

Read a lot of logs about people being limited, cut off and not paid. I always thought 5 dimes was a solid book, even though I have never played there. I could use another reduced juice shop. Anything good about 5 dimes these days?

Safety is the very least of your problems at 5D

Based on my 5+ years with them, they are as solid as they come.

your money is as safe there as at any of the US facing books
don't worry on that score
but if you're any good you'll likely be down to severely limited stakes before too long

ah so that's it. They cut you off quick?

[durito]

No one's ever not been paid.

5dimes is a recreational book. Bad news for some people.

[Legions36]

Just for future u never have to worry about not getting payed by any A books.

[9XL]

They may limit you but they absolutely pay. A great place to play for a recreational gambler.

[fury]

Never had a problem with 5dimes.

Lost all my money there ... never got the chance to withdraw

Usually when you lose all your money, it is hard to withdraw. Damn 5 dimes. Dude is right, when you lose your bankroll they are bad about letting you withdraw your 0 balance

[jackkkk2009]

Have played 5Dimes for almost 3 years. They haven't limited me on any sports yet.. Pay me on fast every time when I request a payout.

[HedgeHog]

Most of the negative threads are about CS, which is not 5D's strong suit. The A+ rating IMO is solely about their ability to pay--and they do so fairly quickly.

[trumpdown]

Always paid promptly. Bank wires were convenient.

[mrfancy]

Have no clue how people can bash fivedimes with those amazing odds, so what if the customer service is junk?

[stevenash]

5Dimes is the absolute best in the business.
Never had a problem with Tony, he's always been professional with me, vice versa, reduced juice on most anything, best lines in the business, lightening quick payouts, checks clear overnight.


Been there 4 years, my betting range is 50 to about 300, never been cut..............

What more do you want?

[soxwin1917]

Like any A book, if you deal with them in a professional way they'll deal with you in the same way. Even Tony.

Never heard of "not paid" the dude that runs the shop (or thinks he runs the shop) takes it personal if you take shots at bad lines. Other than that, I've been with them along time and due to the number of props kinda of stuck.

Bottom line for me:

THEY PAY
reduced juice
overnight lines
tons of props and alt betting lines

[cobeez]

Will be depositing here at 5dimes to get my Pro Status.

[Counterfeit Cash]

I like 5dimes, I've had no issue with them as of yet.

Don't chase steam. Don't take advantage of obviously wrong lines (especially in small time sports). You should be fine if you follow those two basic rules. Payment is not an issue. That's all you can ask for in an A+ book imo.

ok what exactly do you mean about taking advantage of bad lines?

[Power Play]

It usually only happens in small sports like table tennis, golf, etc. If they offered Steelers +21 (-110) for the superbowl is an example of an obviously bad line. It usually happen when they misinput a line or mess up a calculation. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're the type to peruse ping pong or asian soccer league bets and trying to find obviously bad lines to take advantage off. Also betting a game that started already but was mistakingly still available to bet is frowned upon too.

[thespeculator]

great book, never heard of them not paying anyone, whatever complaints people have ,that isn't one of them

[Dark Horse]

Click on the poster's poll at the top of the page. If you can find it.

The poster's poll was once just as visible as the SBR top-rated sportsbooks. That didn't last too long. It's the things that are said without being said that are often the most meaningful.

ability to make decent sized bets at truly competitive odds

"absolute best in the business"
you poor sod!

[Hareeba!]

Having said that your money is absolutely safe here, I seem to remember that this is one of those places where CS asks for your online password?

That's a clear security issue if so.
