I will say that betphoenix is number 1 for customer service but i have missed out on so many bets with them cause it alwayes kicks me out before the game starts or the site is very slow at times.

I will also say that 5dimes offer more than betphoenix. I have never had a problem placing a bet before a game starts with them. I will say 5dimes is the best of the two by far.

Ironic.
I just tried to get a last minute total wager in at 12:55 5Dimes was slow.
I have both books, for variety, 5Dimes has no equal, and just as important, 5Dimes has lightening fast, no hassle payouts.

Richie at BP has quickly become one of the industries best, always polite, settles your dispute in a nano second.
BP's CS has no equal, they have rock solid lines, and caters to the little guy as much as the whale.

Both books are as solid as they come.

Phoenix is better on some things, like the -105 lines come out earlier for football. 5D is better on more things, like reduced vig hockey, and more options. One should try to have both available as outs, and put both in your top 5.

If Phoenix is slow, it's probably because they are growing fast, so not that bad a thing.

BP is more responsive to customers.

Bet Phoenix is by far best with customer service as you said, but overall 5dimes beats betphoenix due to the fact they offer much more.

agree, but the gap is quickly favoring BP ! If you only bet football, I'd say go with BP, and aren't an exchange ( MB) sort.

my rankings , based on usefulness and quality of book:

Matchbook
5D
vegasvic
Phoenix
Betjam


JMO !

Why does everyone praise 5 Dimes so much. They wanted a credit card verification BEFORE I even made a deposit, and that was with a Netspend card. Naturally the copy I went to send them from my fax machine was blury, so I had to make a special trip to Fed Ex/Kinkos in order to scan the license and CC. Never had a book ak for verification BEFORE a deposit. And the fact of the matter is, they had a real attitude about it, like they really didn't care if I deposited or not. I have about 10-11 books funded, so I really don't need their shit.

And they also dropped their option where you made a deposit and they took it out of your bank account.

LOL 30 minutes thats it? I was on hold for over 2 hours the other night with Moneygram so i can get my money released to Bet Phoenix. I called moneygram and waited 40 minutes then I finally got put through and the guy who was on the phone was not authorized to release money. He then told me he was going to put me on hold and he said " You could be on hold from anywhere from 60-90 minutes. An hour and twenty minutes later I get put through to get my money released. I will never do that again. From now on I think i'll stick with my local.

Id much rather have to drive to Fedex Kinkos and fax something then sit on hold with moneygram for 2 hours so you can get your money released. I will admit both are a pain in the ass.

Not sure why they put a hold on it. bet phoenix called me and told me to call moneygram and tell them to release it. Bet phoenix acted like this was very normal but it never happend with 5 dimes.

Same thing happened with me. They told me it would take 5 minutes. Two hours later I was still on fucking hold.

Yikes, looks like MG might not longer be a decent option.

Does this happen all the time, or just rarely ?

This has never happened to me. A guy did question me last week, but I told him it was for my pen pal in Nicaragua.
