    Wow indeed...

    Don't have an account there yet, but tempted now to create one. Can it happen that they will cancel our bet, because this mistake is quite obvious?

    It could happen. Bovada canceled me emptying my account on over 25.5 Ferrer-Anderson at RG when it was 32.5 everywhere else.

    Pretty much all books have in their terms and conditions that they have the right to cancel any bets under pretty much any circumstance.

    Some of the smaller books let you get away with it if it is a smallish bet cause they dont want to risk losing you but all relatively large books just cancel.

    TONY is a CROOK!!! Dude has been proven to steal money & it is almost like he is smiling on the other end..

    5D does have the best variety for US players, but dealing with that 100% POS loser is something I gave up on a long time ago..

    The Karlovic/Stak match could be epic

    Just reporting that my 5Dimes account is shut down permanently after my 1st bet I have created the account for this pick, bet was cancelled and my account frozen until today when I finally chatted with the manager. Here is the copy of the chat:

    5D2070886: hi Becky
    Becky: Greetings
    Becky: this is the Operations Manager
    5D2070886: was told I need to speak with the manager yes
    5D2070886: what seems to be the problem?
    Becky: well, that your very first bet was in a bad line
    5D2070886: ok
    5D2070886: i got the message yes
    5D2070886: so you don't want my business at 5dimes?
    Becky: that is not a good sign
    Becky: so, no, I dont want your business
    Becky: I am returning the funds to the account they came from
    5D2070886: ok
    5D2070886: on skrill?
    Becky: & shutting your account permanently
    5D2070886: will I get my funds back to my Skrill account?
    Becky: is it a Skrill account from which you deposited?
    5D2070886: yes
    Becky: you will get the deposited funds returned to the same account they came from
    5D2070886: when?
    Becky: in a couple min
    5D2070886: ok thank you
    5D2070886: best of luck
    5D2070886: bye

    I guess there is no point in using 5Dimes if you are a serious punter

    If they posted a bad line, why is it your fault? How does one even know if a line is bad?
    You log on to their site and choose what they have available

    I think based on the transcript you could've asked for a second chance or asked to speak to a higher up but I haven't really had much past dealings with them. You can bet shit lines at bovada every now and then and make a fortune though

    They arbitrarily decide if a line is bad; it's all in the T&C:s you've voluntarily agreed to.

    Suck it, bitches...

    I'd say how was I supposed to know its bad..I log on every day per usual and try to play the lines that I think have the best value.
    They should even give you a free piece of merchandise for helping them locate the bad line.

    I never agreed to anything that said I should look at all the book's lines before wagering on 5 dimes. Nobody has time for that

    I agree that it seems ridiculous but if you think about it, they were actually completely right in this case. You were not a 5D member, found a line that was off, created an account to take advantage of a bad line and bet it.

    If I bet that line they'd never take a second look at it, but a new customer only betting that will raise red flags. Shitty situation but that's how off shore betting goes. Sorry K.

    Well as soon I couldn't login into Sportsbook I knew what was going on. When I spoke with customer service and they've told me that I will have to wait to speak with a manager I pretty much gave up. I was only hoping it has something to do with the documents but that was a longshot. I'm also not interested in a bookie that just cancel bets and has this safety in their T&C. If they made a mistake they should take responsibility.

    In the long run I see no future for me at 5Dimes so I couldn't care less. Will check Bovada though, don't have it in my portfolio yet

    I agree with your first paragraph. I never had 5D account because I can't bet in my currency and odds are usually better at other books. However this line made me create an account because it was way off. I didn't know that bets get cancelled so freely here, I haven't experienced that anywhere else.

    I don't agree with your second statement. I think in this situation they would cancel your bet too, no matter how long you had an account with them

    Yes very well could have my bet cancelled but they wouldn't freeze my account. Thats what I meant.
