5Dimes stole 14 500 USD

**Ironman07** · 05-09-11, 06:14 PM

Weve seen this act before with someone calling foul...

Every other incident it was the player cheating and online books have safeguards in place to eliminate al foul play. 5 dimes rep has been great over the years and Im sure once this plays out there will be foul play exposed...

their website has been shut down all day... I was bearly able to post my plays... still not able to log in...

That's the problem I had with cory1111 and now this new guy. It just doesn't make sense to be able to play that many hands. The kid who died playing poker is one player out of how many poker players worldwide? A couple million? I am not saying it isn't possible to go on a video poker bender but 20,000 hands? I mean you need a potty break, stretch break, phone rings, you sneeze, whatever. SBR however has had two guys in a short period of time now who could set decent records at video poker? Might be true but something smells.

what are you basing this post on? Do you have a lot of experience playing video poker? Those who do, like myself, would have no problem playing 20,000 hands in a day with the speed of that casino.

Some of you guys really amaze me, commenting on something you really don't know that much about when it can have lasting effects.

bot player. not bot's allowed if in the rules. then there is an issue. however, why don't the sites stop the bots before they win big.

the strategy is so simple that the only limiting factor is how fast you can click your mouse. so how then do you determine if it's a bot? if the times between actions are all identical?

This isn't really fair. Let the dispute run its course first. Who know what will be uncovered here

There are other methods of proving bot use that I won't get into here.

2.5 seconds per hand, perfect strategy, 20,000 hands per day. Day after day after day.

100% certainty that he used a bot. Why is that even in question?

This has everything to do with "sportsbooks & the Industry" While everyone else is enjoying the thread, you come in cting like a little girl with your "eye's rolling smiley" SBR, could you please create a separate forum for this female acting guy, so he can go there by himself and roll his eyes?

That is all

Agreed...I have no problem with 5dimes running tests, SBR investigating, and any other things that may occur in this dispute, and I had no problem with EZ doing the same thing.

The problem was what occured afterwards....After all tests were run and investigating was done, EZstreet flat out STOLE a players money. 5dimes would never stoop that low.

**Joe Dogs** · 05-09-11, 07:18 PM

How can you prove use of a bot?

Is the info based on the total hands played in a certain time period?

**Kooko4kookopuffs** · 05-09-11, 07:38 PM

How is it that shops get away with this?

Because there are so many happy customers to wave the banner, the horror stories get swept under the rug. And, they aren't held accountable by any laws.

Because for the most part, this is an unregulated industry and our only venue to try to get paid is to threaten them with a lower rating. And unfortunately most books don't care. Just look at all the deposit only books that are still up and running.

Are you kidding or are you completely blind to your obsession with Alex Powers?

Here are your first 2 posts on the Easystreet dispute in case you forgot.

Originally posted by pokerplayer22

Well, geez. I just dont believe it. An Alex Powers run book finding yet another excuse not to pay a player. This is definately shocking news. I always found this guy to be such an honest, decent, guy who is just full of integrity...

On a side note, I guess that whole bs of Easystreet not having any no pay complaints went right out the window. Marvin, Tony, Alex Powers, and whoever else is behind stealing this guys 46k...how do you crooks look at yourselves in the mirror??? Someone would have to be a complete moron to deposit into this book now.

Originally posted by pokerplayer22

I agree 100%. Eaststreet does look like the next beted. Im just waiting for Marvins post as im curious to see what his excuses are with this one. Everyone, go grab your popcorn

Oh and for what its worth, it doesnt matter that this guy won 46k in the casino. If he had won it playing sports or horses, they would have accused him of being a pro and not paid him anyway.

You started your mission to bury Easystreet long before any facts were even presented to the public even though they did not have 1 single payout complaint but when 5dimes is accused of the exact same thing your tone is completely different.

**Kaabee** · 05-09-11, 08:32 PM

keep the easystreet shit in the appropriate thread

**spankie** · 05-09-11, 08:37 PM

wow

more scammy book behavior.

**macoeric** · 05-09-11, 08:38 PM

cory strikes again

**dikefale** · 05-09-11, 09:01 PM

What is conclusion? Will this guy get his money or not?

**Thremp** · 05-09-11, 09:04 PM

lol @ good rep. THEY JUST FUKKIN MUGGED A TON OF PLAYERS OVER WWE

**THEGREAT30** · 05-09-11, 09:05 PM

sent me some brochure about a week ago, I am so skeptical of this outfit due to the fact they don't care to improve there customer service

You can't really believe that. These are two separate cases and each has their own evidence and merit. The two are in no way related.

And yea, Tony's a D*ck. Welcome to 5dimes, at least they're still taking USA dollars. Sit tight girlies and let the powers that be determine the outcome.

Stop with that crap. If you're stupid enough to bet on a rigged sport, expect to get screwed. The lines should never have been posted and you shouldn't have ever bet on them.

Sn: I must have been blasted when I came up with this name. Will a mod please change it to Killakrzydav for me. I would like to keep my names identical across forums please.

You can. It's a free country (ish). But you're an idiot for doing it.

**mikeyg** · 05-09-11, 11:11 PM

Tony likes to hide behind a computer screen and act like a puter tuff guy. He is a goof, always has been and always will be!!

You need to PM them to close your account, and then open a new one. Apparently they can't/won't change names.

Was just thinking about this when I read your post.

I see in the "May Payouts" thread that most of the payouts are 3 figures.
There is nothing wrong with this.
It does make me feel that some of the people who make ignorant posts like that of cyberinvestor and Dark Horse are feeling jealousy and anger towards players who have won amounts that they can only dream of.

(I don't know the bankrolls of these 2 players specifically. But I do feel that jealousy and anger towards winning players plays a part in this type of ignorant statements).

**Scooter** · 05-10-11, 01:53 AM

One thing is sure - incidents like that of EasyStreet/Cory and now this one hurt the offshore industry tremendously.

People have to jump thru hoops to make deposits and in some cases to make withdrawals.
Those who are willing to go thru this then read about incidents like this, and many of them will decide not to deposit.
And who can blame them?

Casino bot guys are completely different animals than sports bettors. These casino threads made me realize that the way a sportsbook may handle these disputes does not reflect on the way they operate the sportsbook.

Plenty of people have tried to find ways to cheat in Vegas casinos. Of course, they're never guilty. But the mechanical games they play are of a very different nature than what goes on in the sportsbook of the same casino.

The difference, of course, is that in Vegas the sportsbook is part of the casino, where online the casino is (seen as) part of the sportsbook. But they really are separate, and each have their own culture. I don't think anyone sitting in a Vegas sportsbook would be worried about getting paid if the casino caught some guy cheating with some computerized game. He would just shrug it off as irrelevant. That is why I suggested previously that the sportsbook and casino topics are deserving of separate forums. As long as these books don't cheat sports bettors I don't give a f*ck about their dealings with their casino guests. That's what I learned from this recent avalanche of casino complaints. Cheers from the lounge.

For the record. SBR clearly recognizes this difference, and has a casino forum all the way at the bottom. So why are these threads not moved there?
