one of my favourite books right now. They offer opinionated lines in a lot of sports, not easy to beat but variety is important to me - books that just copy Vegas or follow what Olympic are doing - why bother being a separate book?

Just got another nice payout from them this week.

Another thing I am noticing (just today) is that the site is not timing out today - it's been at least 1 hour since I refreshed the web page, and it still hasn't timed out.

 

[TheGeneral+]

So, do they timeout or not? I like NO timeouts

Thanks for the feedback.

1 hour??

It just timed out during the time it took me to write this post.

You seriously need to start using a new browser. BTW, I really like this book. Great variety for the smaller player.

neilm,
If you check your closed bets, you'll see that the prop in question you wagered upon had OVER -160 listed on one side of the prop & OVER +130 listed where UNDER is usually posted on the propositions. It is a clear wording error when OVER is listed on both sides of a proposition. You were either trying to wager upon a line that was 90 cents off (+130 instead of -160) or you truely wanted UNDER, in which case you were offered a price BETTER than +130 for your hassels. It takes a lot more than 10 cents on a prop to void a bet. If you have any futher questions regarding the void of your wager, please post on the forum or contact 5Dimes customer service.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

BOOKYBASHER,

Sorry, I just saw your post now. The part is bold is 100% false. The ticket number was 1635351, where I did want the under and placed the bet at +130. Very shortly after my bet the line moved to -150/+120. Later that day the bet was voided and an email was sent to me that said...

Dear Customer,

Regarding your wager placed on golf, AN 18 HOLE SCORE OV 88.5/ NO 18 HOLE
SCORE OV 88.5. Both sides of the wagering option were for the OVER, and
all bets will be graded NO ACTION, if you would like action UNDER at +120,
please contact us 1-800-442-0151.

Sincerely,
Gigi
5 Dimes Customer Service


So I bet +130 on the under and you say that or you truely wanted UNDER, in which case you were offered a price BETTER than +130 for your hassels.

I was offered a WORSE price for my hassles not a BETTER one as you state.

I responded with an email that included...

I do want the nO but would like the price I placed the bet at, ie. +130 if
possible.

Neil

Getting offered a WORSE price is what pissed me off and why I let my account stay dry for two weeks after tapping out. After two weeks of sulking about it, I broke down Thursday and started playing with you again.

I ask you, if you bet +130 and had that cancelled and were offered +120, what would you think of the book?

So while I really like your book, the selection of offerings (particularly the hockey and football), and push a lot of money through the window, this episode left a bad taste in my mouth.

On a completely unrelated matter, great job changing the timeout function. We players really appreciate it.

a friend of mine bets there and i asked him to get me a bet and they wouldn't take five dimes. that was during basketball season.

5 dimes must make though a major upgrade in software to get to the real big time books, this is what holds them back

solid book though other than that

 

[EveryGamblersDream]

One of my top 5 I bet in. Hell top 3 actually.

I have not had the best experience with C.S. I really have to have a reason to play there, due to there lines and software.
Trucks, busch and other autos are usually reason enough to keep me there...

 

[TheGeneral+]

Appears overall opinion is good for 5Dimes.

Most likely a very solid place to wager. I'm going to take a look soon.

Good job 5Dimes

Tony is very sharp, I rate them a 9, like Krackman said lots of ways to play. If they lowered the golf vig and had faster software they would be a 10 for me.

I know this really isn't news to anyone, but I wanted to share my positive experience with 5dimes.

I'm a $25 player, but had a run of good luck and turned a $50 post up into $1100 (thanks to the Devils and Ducks covering the -2 that 5dimes offers on hockey).

I decided to take the $15 hit and make a neteller withdrawl (something I wish they didn't do). I put it in at 5am and they took care of it right away when they came in at 9am.

I had my money at 9:30am and treated myself to a bigger TV, which I was enjoying just in time for Price is Right

Thanks 5dimes!

The best thing about all the alternate lines, like the -2 hockey bets mentioned above, is that they are all dealt with standard juice (eg. -1 +165 and +1 -185).

A lot of other shops put props of any kind up with 40 cent lines even at Pick.
