Possibly a bad choice of wording, but what they're saying is that the parlay payouts are roughly equivalent to parlaying -110 money lines. For 2 and 3 team parlays, this has generally been the case already as -110 parlayed comes to +264 and +596 respectively. The difference from other books comes when parlaying 4 or more teams. For example, for 4 teams, 5Dimes is giving the 'true' (in the sense of multiplying -110 money lines) payout of +1228 whereas it's normally a +1000 or +1100 payout. And so on...

I got it too Try and was looking at the odds for the 2 and 3 teamer and thinking, what kind of math is 5 dimes doing???? I still may re-up with them for the football season if they carry many different betting oprions like they normally do. They do need to change the wording of that email though.
