Too many questions for me at 5 Dimes, great book for $1000 or less though

Please remove 5 Dimes from the list above.

I am trying to open a new account and I am trying to decide which sponsored book to use. I didn't realize that I needed to take into account the value of risking my hands in making this decision.

After reading some of this thread I will not be depositing anything into 5dimes. I recently made a an account there but decided to go with Pinny instead as 5d doesn't allow ********** as an initial deposit method.
Regardless of who is wrong here the manager/owner Tony sounds like a real douchebag.
I am very happy with Pinnacle so far, only disadvantage is their lack of live chat. However when I needed help changing my currency after creating my account I sent them an email and it was responded to and fixed within 5 minutes.

I'm a small bettor. Most recently I deposited to 5dimes but I think I am done w/ this shop. Ridiculous w/drawl requirements and terrible customer service. Do not want.

I have been with 5dimes since 2004 and never had any issues. They pay up when you win and accept your deposits when you lose. Now I dont play anything there but the big leagues - NFL, college football, NBA and college baskets and the occasional NHL hockey game. Basically, I don't do anything that results in me having to chat with Tony.

This just shows that all the ignorants that think that a "GOOD Rating" means "perfection" is just stupid! Hw many times you make fun of people talking about small books or new places or even places that had this type of problem before? And now look at this.. a top rated place by SBR is taking money from a customer!... now what? duh

What are you even rambling about? Your trashing an A+ book without offering any explanation? So what's your story? besides that they "are taking your money"? You need to present facts or atleast a good story to entertain the forum.

It's amazing that Tony only started talking about multiple accounts and the other excuses after the poster started withdrawing. He took the bets, he lost the bets and if he isn't a scumbag, he'll pay the bets.

it doesnt sound like this is the first or 5th or 10th time this tony guy has pulled the bully BS GOD horseshit on someone... How you can be an A+ book when you try to intimidate people just because they won money off of you fair and square is mind boggling

Not at all, Tony.
The offensive part is that you see yourself like that in your business. A person of total authority and control. Let me ask you: where would you be without gamblers? Where would any business be without clients? Any good businessman understand this. They don't place themselves above everybody, but on the same level. By doing so they can understand the needs of the public, and cater to those needs more effectively. This way, they are able to offer a better service, and in the process earn more money. But you are 'God', and to you that means that you don't have to listen to 'little' concerns such as expressed by Romaine, because he is at your mercy.
Tony, go f*ck yourself.
I really enjoyed this post. I really love all the wagering options at 5Dimes. On this area they are the best going. On another note Tony does think that he is GOD and has no problem letting you know. I posted the other day about their shitty tennis rules that are designed to screw the bettor on every corner. That being said I still use the book some but most of my money stays at BetJamaica with Scotty who is a gentleman and some at Bookmaker who is almost as good as 5Dimes with wagering options. Play at 5Dimes but read their shady rules carefully.

Tony is afraid to get on the phone with me for an interview
He only uses chat which shows he is afraid of the player

Also if the book takes the bet they should pay out no matter what. They never looked for ways to refund losses incurred by the player wagering over limits. They just dug for dirt when they didnt want to pay.

OK; if he paid up (without screwing the player around by charging ridiculous fees, taking months to do so, etc.) then he should be commended. Having said that, anybody who's anybody knows that 5dimes is a garbage book for anyone who knows how to win.

Exactly... I am sure if the guy would've lost the money.. there would be NO problem.. it's always about finding a way not to pay when somebody wins! TONY has to pay... or not take the deposits or wagers in the first place!

Good wagering options but Tony needs to be brought down a notch. I play there because there are not too many books that let you parlay tennis. I keep most of my cash at BetJamaica and 5Dimes.

I know I am a newbie and this is an old thread, but just chiming in on 5Dimes. They have always paid me. That said, I agree Tony needs some people skills and as a whole the book treats the player poorly. I keep 5Dimes in my arsenal for their variety of lines and props, but do not enjoy playing there as much as other books that treat players better (Heritage & Carib for example). If those two books ever offered the lines that 5Dimes has, I would leave 5Dimes altogether. But really few books can compete with what 5Dimes can offer in terms of options. And no, I am not a shill for any book. I used to be a Pinnacle guy until US players were booted...went local for a while but now back with the offshores.

They have always taken shots with their horseracing department Justin. One of my buddies in the business had several of his bets cancelled, and when he called to inquire he was told that 5D went by DRF times. Oddly enough, none of his losing bets were cancelled that were posted after the DRF times. He called back, and was told that "sometimes they go by DRF times, and sometimes they go by actual post times." No joke. After inquiring further, he was told to go **** himself and to go play elsewhere if he didn't like it.
While it's no secret that 5D's customer service is atrocious, it has also been known by online horseplayers for some time that 5D takes shots with their horseracing. A more clearly defined rulebook, better software, and faster horse grading would be required from me before I EVER thought about giving them my business again.
Hopefully you can inquire on this poster's account in such a way as to improve their horseracing practices for all Justin and SBR...
Yep, This happened to me Multiple times....Total SCAMMERS.....Make up rules as they go and depending on client!!! BEWARE!!!

Yet they will still be rated a high end book by SBR as long as that advertisement money keeps rolling in.

Ive actually never had this happen to me at 5dimes. Both my winning wagers and losing wagers have always been graded properly.
It did happen to me quite a few times at betphoenix about a year ago...so much so that i stopped playing with them
