Be careful at 5dimes if you bet an open parlay

[warriorfan707]

Look what happened to me. I was trying to take Butler buying points, and when I submitted it somehow it reverted back to +13. I called them IMMEDIATELY and told them what happened. Rep said he talked to the wagering manager and because the FIU game had started there was nothing they could do. They couldnt void it, change it, nothing. Crazy thing is when I submitted the 3rd leg of the parlay it showed it as Butler +20... then when I opened up my parlay to look at it somehow it had reverted back to +13, the actual line.

This really fukkin pisses me off because Butler +20 would have been a winner and this cost me around 450 bucks. Im actually wondering if I should file a complaint about this.

You will need a screenshot to win.

[warriorfan707]

Ya this is understndably a pretty hopeless case. Such bullshit though. I clicked Butler +14, dropped it down to 20, then submitted. Then I open my parlay and it shows Butler +13.

Nothing I can do either.

Feel for you. Hate when stuff like this happens. Looks like this was just a regular parlay, was it an open one? Also, looks like it cost you more like $700.

You should really be mad at the home job the zags got tonite. Butler shot like 4 free throws, the Zags - a ton. And then those degenerate gambler fans - who bought the vacated students seats - yelling and willing the Zags to a cover.

[Duff85]

What is the difference if Tony takes your money on a marginal call or gives it to you so that you can lose it back to him more slowly. In the end your wagers will line his pocket. Why not just ring up your bank and add Tony to your account so he can take your money at his convenience.

It was an open one, if you look closely youll see there are different time stamps for each leg.

The closing total on this game was 139. Why would you possibly buy 19 points and be willing to lay -2800 at under 158?

I am curious what the over 158 is priced at as if its anywhere near 20-1, that would be a fantastic wager.

I would LOVE to book your action.

they wont let you sell the points to bet the over. and if they did, obviously you wouldn't get that price.

[SBRMAN23]

I know exactly what your talking about when a Line changes it hoes back to the original instead of what you bought it up or down to its so tricky of them you gotta read that shitt before u submit it

Hi WF,

The line was never at 14 for this game. This was confirmed with 5D. Is it possible you forgot to buy the points and wanted to do so after placing the bet?

That was a typo, in the OP I said 13.

No, what happened was when I was submitting the third leg on this parlay (Butler) I bought it up to 20 and submitted it. I never bought it at +13. Then when I went to open wagers, it somehow had submitted at +13.

I called them immediately to tell them what had happened and that their was a technical error but they failed to acknowledge it. I never submitted Butler +13, I am absolutely certain.

What could I possibly have to gain by doing that and then calling them immediately to tell them there was a malfunction on their end?

That was the 4th and final leg of the parlay, I wanted to finish it with something 100% certain and not be greedy.

Kinda funny that I have to explain this to you.

[Cicima6709]

The guy above is right though...Under 158 at -2800 is ridiculously bad value. You honestly couldnt find a better lock then 19 extra points on the total? I wouldnt take that at -1000.

[warriorfan707]

Bill, I find it interesting that what is being zeroed in on here is the fact that "The line was never at 14". Once again in the OP I clearly stated (twice) that it was 13.

Sounds like people are going to extreme measures to make this look like it was my fault.

Like I said I called them the instant this happened. This is total bullshit that they would not acknowledge it. People know how I bet. I buy points in these parlays. And the fact that I did call them the instant it happens should be enough. 5dimes is being shady here.

[Jonah]

Books will give you the wrong side or do something like this from time to time to rattle you, even if it is for far lesser amounts... One time with 5dimes, they said I bet the opposite side twice during halftime. I confirmed a the wrong side twice? Please.

[BigdaddyQH]

If this is the way you waer, it is amazing that you have anything left to wager with. Bottom Line: You lose. Whether you made the mistake or not, you have no way of proving anything. The nexst time you want to make some crazy wager like this, phone it inPeople who buy up points and lay ridiculous odds get what they deserve. You got yours. Call it in nest time, and get a name and a confirmation. You guys that trust offshore books should invest in beach front property in Kansas.

You can feel free to blow me. Im not interested in your opinion. Im doing just fine wagering how I do, thanks.

Warriorfan,
5Dimes states that you did not buy the points and they've never had an error with someone buying.

The reason why the 14 was asked about because it looked like you were suggesting a line move reset your points buying. It was a bit confusing.

[pokerplayer22]

Warriorfan...im not taking sides but you are probably on the wrong forum if you are looking for someone at sbr to side against 5dimes. SBR is not likely to throw any blame at 5dimes no matter the situation

Bill, I understand there is nothing to back up what I am saying other than my wagering history, my word, and the fact that I called them IMMEDIATELY.

Im telling you man, this is blatant BS. I submitted the line at +20 and when I went back to my open parlay it was somehow submitted as +13.

This is the first time I have ever seen this myself (although I dont bet many open parlays).

[pokerplayer22]

Warrior...what time did you call them and what time did the Butler game start? And do you know if the call was recorded? (Im guessing all are)

[warriorfan707]

I called them literally 5 seconds after the Butler leg of the parlay was submitted. Yes I believe all calls are recorded.

I told them there was a technical error and they basically ignored it.

Im not happy about this, and I know SBR will just side with 5dimes of course. This is fukked.

[pokerplayer22]

If you called 5 seconds after the bet was placed and well before the Butler game had started (and the phone call is recorded) then SBR needs to step in here and get something done aside from just cashing their 5dimes checks

[warriorfan707]

I agree. I absolutely did call.

What is BS here is that the rep said "Because the Marshall/FIU game has already started we can't void or change this wager in any way".

Well of course there was a game that started. THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF BETTING AN OPEN PARLAY

I would never have submitted Butler +13 on an open parlay then called them immediately... cmon now. There was a damn technical error.

[warriorfan707]

I would have won this parlay at Butler +20. Im not asking to be paid. But I do want my 200$ refunded.

I should not have lost that bet, that was total BS.

[warriorfan707]

Been a 5dimes member for many many years and have never had good things to say until now. No problems until this happened. (Aside from a couple blunders in their live casino)

[Duff85]

move on son... Tony needs more of your cash. Got any super-lock 8 teamers going today? Just reload and go with a Boise State (ml - ofc), Celtics, Fake Show, Heat parlay - make sure you buy say 10 points each on the nba plays. This would be your style of wager, yeah?

[davidchong]

ughhh? refund?,

[warriorfan707]

Hopefully SBR checks the phone logs at 5dimes and sees that this was not my fault. I called them immediately and informed them of their technical error and was virtually ignored.

Ive been betting for many years, I never make mistakes on my wagers. I know exactly what Im doing. There was some kind of website malfunction....

[AlwaysDrawing]

Sounds to me like you tried to buy the points, the line moved, and you forgot to buy them again.

After the game started, you noticed and called to try to change it, and they said they can't change a bet in an event which has started, per their policies.

Unfortunately, in this case, the mistake seems to be yours. I'm sorry for your loss, but I agree with 5dimes here. After they told you that they wouldn't let you make a change they shouldn't change their ruling, otherwise players could freeroll them.

Would you still be complaining if you had won that last leg anyway?

Posting after the event reaches completion hurts your credibility.

[warriorfan707]

No. You're wrong. The line didnt move. Dude, Im a veteran, Ive been betting for several years, I know the difference between when a line moves and some technical error. It said something to the effect of "invalid selection" but it still let me submit it at +20.

You can believe whatever you like, Ive been betting with 5dimes for several years and I guarantee Im way more experienced than you in these matters.

[AlwaysDrawing]

Did not mean to offend. You certainly are quite a bit more experienced at betting parlays while buying points.

Good luck with your dispute.

[Optional]

I have taken quite a few open parlays at 5 dimes and haven't come across any glitches.

I believe that you believe you could not have made a mistake, but if 5D is telling the truth about no other problems like this happening before, you really have to be open minded to the possibility.

I'll keep a close eye on any legs with points buys I do in future though.

everyone takes a bad beat. Move on brother.
