I didn't want to read through all this garbage but did a 5 dimes rep or sbr official verify if they are legit lines? If not, both the book and especially sbr should be ashamed. If it is an A+ book and there is this much concern get off of your ass. If there has been clarification, I apologize.

durito..why degrade the conversation into ad homs? If are unable to sway the person you are debating with-- than you need to agree to disagree. Throwing insults at people simply illustrates your lack of control and lack of ability to debate the topic at hand thus needing to attack people personally.Comment -
This isn't something that is open for disagreement, you are completely wrong.Comment -

Shari in another thread pointed out that 5dimes did pay net losers in the casino game when the odds started at 112% and it was the day the bot player started. They did this without SBR requesting.
I will suspend my relentless attacking of 5dimes as it appears that they do try to do the right thing most of the time.
I stand corrected. Thanks again Shari for pointing this information out.Comment -
When you refer to an incompetent bookmaker what are you implying? What makes a book maker incompetent?
You claim that Tony is intentionally freerolling with bad lines but than you claim that he is incompetent
What is it? is he intentionally giving himself a huge advantage? Or is he incompetent?
Seriously WTF are you rambling about?
Do you not understand the difference between a line that is set at +4200 when the rest of the market is at +420 and a line set at +10000 when the rest of the market is at +6000?
Push rates
+420=19.23%
+4200= 2.33%
BAD LINE
+6000=1.64%
+10000=0.99%

WTF is a bad line?
If it's posted and available to wager on then it's valid.

5Dimes did not have bad lines; they have better lines than the other books on long shots because they pay what the correct odds of the long shots really are. Wake up dummies and play your long shots at 5Dimes. 9 pages later have any of you 5Dimes whiners caught on that the OP pointed out one of the positives of 5Dimes.Comment -
A bad line is when the line you bet is not anywhere close to the market price
does that even need to be made clear?Comment -
It's all good boondoggle.
Just to make it clear, I'm not sticking up for Tony/5Dimes/anyone. I do think this thread is slightly misleading because the prices at 5Dimes are comparable to the actual market - which I think needs to be looked at when making a comparison. Not just looking at lines from a few books. But maybe it's served a purpose and saved some people frustration in the future by learning something they didn't know before: When determining what an actual market is, look at an exchange.
And I was honestly curious as to whether there were examples of Tony outright stiffing on big dog future bets because that's something that I as a bettor would want to be aware of obviously. I have a pretty good memory and couldn't recall any but that doesn't mean they don't exist. That's why I asked. Unfortunately after a few hours of looking through a heap of threads across the Internet, I became so frustrated reading examples of people bitching along the lines of the -1 bet 2-1 final score scenario, that I've taken a break for the moment. I'll keep looking again later today.

my suggestion would be why when you see a line +4000 when everyone else has +400 why not call 5 dimes ask for tony and ask him if this is a bad line then you will cover yourselfComment -
Whether or not there is a conspiracy to inflate odds to attract action that will ultimately be cancelled if won (highly doubtful), the fact remains that it's in a book's best interest to make a certain number of errors. That is, unless the book cancels bets that are bad lines that end up losers (I'm waiting for stories of that ever actually happening). Assuming this does not happen, every error a book makes (even assuming all are innocent typos) results in greater expected income for the book. If loss, bet is good. If win, manager is alerted to audit a longshot bet winning and bet is cancelled. Obviously, there is a point where if you make too many errors, you lose action. But clearly there is no incentive whatsoever for reducing errors from the current level. This is very different from any other business, where errors actually cost the company money, rather than generate additional profit.Comment -
