    Went from VIP to 5Dimes - Don't Like Layout - Recommendations?
    I was a member of the now-defunct VIP Sportsbook for 10 years. Liked it very much, easy to operate, honest to the end (for me at least). This past fall I decided on 5Dimes to be my new book. It gets good reviews, reputable, US-friendly, love the reduced juice. However....Maybe I'm just used to my old book - (or the fact I was so successful with VIP I didn't have to relaod for 5 years and I've already run through my 5Dimes initial deposit in 6 months) - but there are a couple things about the 5Dimes layout that bothered me a lot. I'm pretty vanilla in my betting - spread and money line bets on US football and basketball, very few paylays/special props. However, at 5Dimes, the list of available games were never listed in chronological order, which I always found to be bizarre and make it difficult to quickly find my games. Also, whenever I placed several bets at once, the amount I put in the betting box is what the payout would be - instead of what my actual wager on the game would be. (Betting on dogs would always be betting more money than I actually wanted to wager.) I could not find any options/preferences page where these things were configurable. (VIP was good about that.)

    Before I reload for March Madness, I'd like to consider a different book. Is there a highly-rated book that may be more compatible with my betting style? Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

      Before you change books I would advise to go on LiveChat with 5Dimes and ask for Tony.
      Tell him you think the layout is utter shit and see if he can possibly supply you with a better layout.

      Good luck either way

            do the following withdraw your funds from 5dimes and tell tony to kick rocks then open a Betislands account,you will love the layout and the customer service is great ! ! ! you will never have to worry about them not paying as they have deep pockets and are a class act...their p2p payout option takes less than 3 hours .

                    They should change their peferance of their betting menu pages.. very inconvenient.

                      5dimes reduced juice beats all of this.

                        gtbets.eu has the exact same layout that vip did. I was with vip for many years and then once they closed gtbets contacted me and told me its pretty much the same people that ran vip. The only problem I have with gtbets is that they are limited in their betting options, soccer, props and so on. They are a very new site but so far I havn't had a problem with them.

                            I would recommend BetIslands. One of, if not the best up and coming books around. Bare mininum it's a great out to have. My 2 cents.
