    Great book. I don’t think anybody offers as many total number of wagers as they do. I wager primarily Auto Racing and they’re my #1 out.

    Service is good but the payouts are kinda BS. You get one free per month but it has to be requested between 9am and 1pm on Mondays only. If you can live with that, go for it.

      5 Dimes is a quiet shop in Costa Rica. They're as solid as they come and run by some good people. They used to be under the Unified gaming peoples thumb but they have gotten away from that although they do use their software still.

      good out to add.

        5Dimes is good. I've only ever had two "problems" with them.

        #1 They charge $15 onthe NetTeller payouts. Now a lot of books do that, but I always hate paying to get my money.

        #2. It's just an opinion but everytime I call them, they sound like they are in a closet or something, like it's a one room shop in a basement, the phone is just very quiet. I guess I would just like to hear more "acivity" you know?

        Neither one is a valid "complaint" though and I've never really had a problem with them. On the good side, they pick of fees if you send $300 or more, lost of places it's $500 or $1000.

          You can find some good value at this shop. They're not afraid to book off their own action so you can get some deals. Plus, there often are no managers around, so you can be assured that the numbers aren't always tight. This also works against them though, because conflict resolution often takes several days and many e-mails or phone calls.

          Never a serious problem with them though.

            So how do they treat players that might win? Will the "5 dimes" become "5 dollars" or less? Will I be booted? I'm really getting tired of opening and funding accounts with promises, only to close and move on again and again . . .

              You obviously spend a fair amount of time winning. I don't think I've ever heard someone so upset about being good at something. If you are making out that well at these places, I think I'd be willing to move from book to book as frequently as required if it paid my bills.

              I only know of one problem that 5 Dimes had with a player, and it was due to a gross misrepresentation of who he was. It was on another forum and involved a principal with the site.

              I don't think Tony throws anyone out over there.

                Blowfish, thanks for the response. The frustrating thing is that I can be tossed or clipped at a sportsbook without even actually winning. In these cases, it amounts to a waste of time an energy for me AND the sportsbook.
