    If this were the only thing wrong with 5dimes I would continue playing there. But it's not. There are volumes of stuff like this written about Tony and it's not just this forum.

    There is too much wrong with this book for me to play there.

      correct, so lets get tony on the record to state if the lines are bad or not

      in the event they are bad then he must return all money wagered on them

      get to work jj, mr players advocate

          There certainly seems to be more issues regarding "bad lines" at 5dimes than any other book.

              This is an interesting thread. I am the guy who had the golf bet last year on Nick Watney at 5 Dimes. I will have to side with 5Dimes on this one though. The REASON I played the Watney bet is exactly because 5 Dimes has so many props and I might be able to play a good player at great odds.

              In my case, I had never heard of this Watney goof until a month or so before I even bet, but I had noticed him playing well and thought he might have "slipped through the cracks". There are lots of under the radar world class players that have a better chance than winning each week than Ernie Els, Reteif Goosen, etc.....the young guns can appear on the scene quickly, too, and catch a few books off guard.

              I will says this. 5Dimes has good props and good lines on certain longshots. Those odds you gave are legit and they will pay if one of those wins.

              Now, how they treat customers when there is a dispute is another thing. They should get an F minus for that. And they will free-roll you if they see something they can hang their hat on and then freeze your account when the play is about to win.

              So, it is a bit of a cat and mouse game........you can try to find good lines, but if you find a "great" line you are probably creating more trouble than it is worth.

              If you find a good line you made a good play. If you find a great line you are a shot taker. That's the way it is. Trying to find huge golf lines was one of the reasons I was dabbling in 5Dimes betting golf in the first place. I would basically take the most out of whack lines I could find....whomever it was. Even bet $10 bucks on Sandy Lyle to win....lol. That was donating money, but they did have Oostahzen at 350-1 or so to win the British Open and I had $10 on him and they paid. That was before the PGA dispute.

              Funny thing is that Oosthazen was a legit line. He had world class talent, probably as much as Watney, but just didn't get the respect from anyone. I think he was actually ranked 55th in the world and had won in Europe a few months earlier...but that 350-1 was legit and 5Dimes paid.

              The other thing that people forget is that my Watney bet was to finish in the top 20, and he was up 3 heading into the last round of the PGA when my account was locked (then the chat happened). Of course, he collapsed and finished in a multi-way tie for 19th, which only complicated matters further, since you had to divide the potential payout to even figure out how much you were missing out on at the end...lol. I ended up getting paid 2.5-1 when I thought I was gettng 20-1, but then we had to divide by the ties. Watney had to birdie 17 to even finish in the top 20. Then, I had Bubba Watson to win for good money, but he lost to Martin Kaymer in the playoff (had Kaymer for less). That was a BRUTAL and LONG day, since the chat/dispute started just as the leaders were teeing off on Sunday. Wow.

              Love it.

                      The main thing I had to keep pointing out to 5 dimes was that they'd have Mickelson at like 20:1 for top 20 and Top 10 at 10:1. That happened a few weeks straight (to various players) and its what made me a. not play there b. make my post.

                      My guess is you actually were dealt a bad line because they kept messing these up consecutive weeks. And commonnn, Watney would be favored over Oosthuizen.

You could always ask them to double check their line before you bet it so you are sure its not a bad line. Might make for a boring thread though.
                                              exactly..why not call them and ask them about lines..if they change them..then maybe you have a point with thread

                                              if they leave them..this whole thread is a waste of time

                                              I have played there for years and they never ripped me off

                                              the case i saw here last week the sbr poster could not lose those bets with the odds they were even if he tried to

                                                well i am glad I caught this post..I swear I have hit the cash 3 at 5 dimes on 3-4 occaisions and they paid me the ammount each time

                                                all this proves to me is that the state of florida is a fuken crook

                                                  The problem with 5d is it takes your OWN fukkin losing experience to become this embittered with Tony/the site.... For once I read some sense outta JJ's mind - "players choice" - 100% TRUE, and 100% rock solid statement.....

                                                  Me, this is just me and Im not sure about any of you other fukks out there, but me, I came to this site in the hope of finding enlightenment, an edge, maybe some decent conversation... I ASSUMED this site was here for the little guy, the blue collard gambler who could use some help in assessing what is and what isn't a wise play.....

                                                  Experience has taught me this isnt the case. Experience has taught me there are more idiots than there are assholes on this planet. Idiots = asshole food, and I for one do not intend to be anyone's meal.

                                                  P.S - what happened to 5d's ponies? I enjoyed them

                                                      these fukks should know a bad line or not

                                                      if not, you tell them..." why the fukk are you in this business?"

                                                        This thread is complete and utter bullshit.

                                                        The only difference is 5dimes offers fair future odds whilst other US sportsbooks rape their players.

                                                        I had a look at betfair and from the OP there is not one bad line there.

                                                        You should be angry with the other books for robbing players.

                                                          Just verify in a chat with management the line you want to play, then copy and save the session. If they then don't want to honor it post the issue in here.

You have to be extra vigilant because of the DOJ crackdown not to mention recession pressures on the books beforehand. Best bet would be just not to play there if you have other outs. If you're stuck there as a US punter get the line confirmed in chat, take a screenshot and ask customer service rep to send a copy of live chat transcript confirming the validity of the lines to your e-mail. If he still voids the bet after that cut all ties. The extra process is a pain but it gives you evidence/leverage when you file the complaint with SBR in a worst case scenario.
