Few( regular) books compare to 5Dimes !...

Doug · Oct 17, 2008

What a difference between even WSEX and a Betjamaica, to 5D !

So many more options.

I know they aren't a sponsor. Greek is overall much better than Jam, for options.

Vegasvic is starting to look credible, IMO. I hear they transfer with Greek, that is huge ! I might start playing there soon.

I don't care about technicalities like sponsor books or not, I'm not an RX employee.

WSEX seems so bland to me. I deposited there for the purpose of transferring to Matchbook once my e-check clears, since MB has no viable deposit methods.

I trust WSEX/Matchbook, but they are a "B" book to me ( now).

Matchbook money transfer situation sucks, but you can't beat it for vanilla bets.

5D has an amazing selection, but avoid the vague props, they will be voided late (on your side, at least) and you will NOT win any argument with mgmt, that's for sure.

Agree !

MB lacks options.

I could work out disputes with Tony, myself., no doubt wording is bad.

For an overall betting experience for small to medium players, 5dimes is the cream and it's not even close IMO. I don't understand the hard-on for WSEX to be honest.

Back in the day, WSEX was the only one fighting the good fight. They were also the first real 'underground' offshore for US customers - but written up in the WSJ and they had a cult following in the mid 90s.

They were the first to offer US-style interactives (as opposed to euro in-running or spread betting). Since they had a trading background, they offered 'Shorting' teams on futures right from the start. Something rare even today. The web interface basically hasn't changed in 10+ years. Fast, clear, and easy to use.

And of course, they always paid, there was no doubt.

Frankly, they cannibalized their own market with Matchbook...And the other reduced shops have hurt them (my WSEX account has been pretty inactive). And I've been amazed to read of the payout delay problems, but I guess times change.

But, I can see if you don't know the history, you would wouldn't understand the 'hard-on' people have for them. A true pioneer book.

i'm also looking to make a deposit there for their dime puck lines, and -05 juice. i have been trying to find ANYBODY that plays their to get some feedback, but have been unsuccessful thus far. Still think I will give them a shot and make a small deposit.

I wish I could find 50 more "B" books like them.

5 dimes are total pussies. They will lower your limits to $50 like lightening if you do well.

What?? Matchbook is the best for payouts and transfers with other books.

I meant the Deposit situation into Matchbook. It sucks.

I'm sure they are doing way, way better when you take WSEX & Matchbook together as a whole. Matchbook has lots of business and they never lose.

Few( regular) books compare to 5Dimes !...
