    5Dimes Boycott the current dispute could be you, book run by a crook with an attitude
    Tony made his bed now let him lay in it. Withdraw your funds. If you continue to support this outfit then you have no one to blame or come to when they take advantage of you as well. The only way to show him the decision to not pay and the reply of SBR was biased is to hurt their pocket book. Who gives a shit if you can bet the first 3 min of a turtle race in Juarez? The whole advantage of 5D was that they offered you plenty of options at decent odd and if you won you would be paid guaranteed even if you got the boot or their dick manager attacked you verbally. Well the fact is they made a mistake, someone beat the game they offered at odds they offered and they basically spit in the face of not just that player but anyone who would ever consider playing there based on reputation by NOT PAYING AFER BEING BEAT! Stop playing there and posters poll time leave them off your list. Best they are a C- book and never have been an A+.

      I have no problem if someone wants to withdraw funds as a boycott. But I do not advocate chargebacks in any scenario.

        99.99% of the time I am with you this is the .01% I don't. Call it "restitution" for the theft they committed.

          Is this an ultimatum or a double whammy where 5D gets downgraded and boycotted at the same time? In which case it is kind of unfair but no one is stopping you.

            This is not the first issues 5D has had. They have no respect for anyone and think they are something special, they will steal from you in the casino then they will steal from you in their book. They have had an ongoing proble for years with incompetence, bad lines, and +ev opportunities where they just steal the winnings. Look it up. I have been here 3 years and have seen horror stories every few months for all 3 of those years.

              Paying is the right thing to do and they should be fully boycotted until they pay. After they pay it does not change the fact they tried to rob the player, last time I check attempted robbery was a serious felony and noone involved with the crime if they apologized and gave back what was rightfully someone elses won the noble peace prize.

                But Tackleberry kind of knew there was at least some +EV in the game he was playing right so they are not the only party taking advantage of the situation. But boycott if you must.

                  This is true but why do people gamble? They do it to try and find +ev and win long term, everyday the books have the full advantage and people hand over there cash so they are taking advantage when a +ev occurs and someone plays it they are expected to pay just as we are when we play -ev. Gambling is a game where someone is always "taking advantage" and almost always it is the books.

                    At least settle with an undisclosed amount where both parties are happy; if not, then boycott 5D.

                        I totally agree. They (Tony) has no respect for anyone and has talked down to too many people. Ive also seen many chats posted at SBR where he threatened to steal players funds...Now I guess he's finally followed through on his threats. After an error that he himself made, he refuses to take responsibility for it. Ive posted on here many times as an advocate for 5dimes and always put them in my top 3 outs but this has gotten out of hand. I requested a payout this morning and other than a Sharks future and a White sox future (which is as good as gone), Im going to stick with betjam and heritage (2 shops that would never even consider stealing from a player).

                            I have not used 5 Dimes, and with what I am hearing, I will avoid them in the future.

                              Only arseholes who advocate thievery and extortion would even dream of posting this drivel.
                              Tony's street cred has not been hurt in the least with those who have a clue.
                              This call for a "boycott" will most certainly go over like a fart in a blizzard.

                                  According to this ruling we are wrong if we scour the world to find a great sale on merchandise, use a 2 for 1 coupon, go to an all you can eat buffet and eat more than the normal appetite variance,
                                  Sign up at Netflix for the free month trial then cancel, return an item to a store after we used it and benifited from it but decided we didn't need/want it anymore.

                                  Are we supposed to hire Kreskin the Mindreader to tell us if every free sample or crazy giveaway is part of the company's marketing plan to attract customers with a great deal?!

                                  At what point can we agree that running a business comes with industry specific responsibilities, and sometimes the boss must be accountable for what goes on under his watch.

                                    This guy must be Tony the way he is speaking as if he is all knowing. The fact of the matter is the net is now plastered with disputes and a quick google search with 5dimes will show their poor management skills and now theft. SBR "did what they had to" all though it is very disappointing we can read between the lines. They allow us to speak on the topic and if they won't/can't make the judgement for biz reasons at least we, as free speaking forum members, can and have a responsibility to make threads and speak the reality of this dispute.

                                        Street Cred? LOL! Tony you have no street cred. Unless you count being known as the biggest AssHole and jerk in the industry street cred.

                                          i dont keep up with the casino stuff and maybe i should reevaluate but 5dimes sent me a check for free and they have good odds and live betting.

                                          maybe they dont deserve such a high rating (not sure what it is) but considering the world we live in im pretty happy with them

                                          they have never canceled a bet on me (of course i dont take shots) while pinnacle and olympic has. even tho i love pinny and the greek, i have to put 5dimes up there with them

                                          sorry if they have cost some people some money but they are top notch with me

                                              5 Dimes is a sportsbook Hurricane Katrina.
                                              atleast when people are Googleing 5 Dimes they are seeing what we all think about them.

                                                  Guess I should be glad they wouldn't let me deposit any more there - way they are going with all these complaints, a big collapse could be in the cards soon.

                                                      Casino disputes aside, 5D has one of the best sportsbooks out there. Further, with the limited choices of good USA-facing Books, I can't give up this Book--despite my low opinion of Tony. Actually, I'll meet you half way and continue my life-long boycott of their casino.

                                                        I agree...their wagering options are countless. Im going back and forth on whether i should continue to use them or not. It really bothers me that they took 0 responsibility for their mistake with this 32k casino issue though and what bothers me more is Tony's attitude in this whole thing saying he wouldnt even let that dispute be mediated and what he says goes. Not sure which way i going yet.

                                                          My mother had an old saying: "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face". I think it applies here. My (her) advice is to continue to enjoy the sportsbook but stay far away from their casino.

                                                            Good saying not sure it applies here though, 5D is a good book with a disease Tony is a cancer, his idiocy spread the cancer to the casino, and as cancer does will undoubtedly spread to the book.
