Nope. No limits on sides up to $600ish which is fine with me and they have always paid me. I've been with them since day 1 so perhaps they are rewarding my tenure.
(Although they did limit my NBA series bets last year when I started pounding them and hitting them which shocked me.)
They do limit my exotic bets too. I wanted to bet 1k on best supporting actress at the oscars and they capped me at $50. I was mighty pist when it hit.
For someone like you, that is very surprising. I can bet $100 AT MOST on sides, $50 on ingames, and $25 max on all props.

Scal, my man, I had that bet too. It was probably the easiest bet of the year. I wish we had consulted. In fact, I did a write-up on it at another site, discussing the psychology of the judges and why she would win over all the others. I only ended up winning 400 but I wanted to bet a lot more. Too bad.

It was a bargain: -150 at five dimes and -175 elsewhere.
Well on betfair it was -125 day of. But it's tough to get fair market value on these awards unless you are betting them weeks before like I usually do. But definitely bargain relative to the other sites, I saw the same.

Yes, I never realized there was a lot of money to be made on these exotic bets. A lot of books don't even have a standard line in relation to these bets, so there is a wide range of values. -125 sounds amazing. The only other exotic I bet on this year was the under for the Super Bowl national anthem. It was an easy win as well; you just have to do a little research.

It would appear that way but I don't need the money. I only do this as a hobby/diversion. I'm not a threat to these sites. If I bet $200 or $2000 a game, nothing much would change in my life.

I had the write-up in general discussion (which I can't find now).
This wasn't the easiest bet of the year, it was the among the easiest bets I've made in my entire life.
No matter though, we were both in agreement in would hit 100% and were capped by the site.
Nothing we could do to make more at that point.

OK. I'm dating myself here, but way back in the infancy of online gambling in January of 2000 I was betting online with a book called Premier League (now out of business or had a transfer of ownership and a name change). I was a $100-$200-$500 gambler back at that point of my life and saw a prop on the Miami Dolphins vs. Jacksonville Jaguars AFC playoff game: Dan Marino completions over/under 10.5. I suspected that the line was wrong but I put $500 on the over anyway. FYI, the correct line on the game was 18.5. Anyway, long story short, the Dolphins trailed 41-7 at the half and Marino was having an awful day with just 6 completions at the half. I feared that he would be pulled from the game and he was pulled in the 3rd quarter after completing his 11th pass and the Dolphins lost 62-7.
The next day I logged onto my account and my account balance was zero. I called in to the book and I was advised that my bet would not be paid due to the line error. The book, however, sent me a check for my account balance in full.
This was the one and only time that I ever took a shot at a bad line with a local or online book because I realized it is a NO WIN SITUATION and it's not morally the right thing to do. If Marino had been pulled before his 11th completion, the book would have surely scored my wager as a loser and I would not have blamed them for doing so. Why would I expect to be paid on such a bad line anyway? I was stupid and I learned my lesson. In fact, over the years, I have called 5dimes and pointed out a few obvious line errors to them. They have always been fair with me and I have played with them for so long I can't remember when I started.
Anyway, I do not believe for one second that someone would bet a line error with a -1200 vs. +1200 spread and not realize they were taking advantage of a bad line. Pleading ignorance is just silly in a case like this. So the guy claims he intended to bet the other side.....that is simply to hard to believe. I am not defending Tony. It seems like he did act inappropriately and he could surely take a lesson in customer service. However, if you go into a store and shoplift and get caught, you will get punished. So why bet obvious line errors....it is akin to shoplifting.

Good story but shoplifters won't have store managers threatening their life or he life of their family for stealing a bag of peanuts and what was at stake here is peanuts to 5 dimes (pun intended). I can assure you thus guy's balance is A JOKE compared to how much money if moved on that site. And he's gonna go crack in' skulls for it? Please.

---------------------------------
I agree with you on the behavior of Tony. I am not condoning the way he disrespects and threatens clients. I don't know Tony, so I can not say if his threats carry any real weight....but I would doubt that his comments were anything more than words typed in a chat window. However, it would make me uneasy if someone was threatening violence against me when they have my home address.
All I am saying is that I have played at 5dimes for over a decade and I have always been paid when I was a winner. I have never had problems with the book. If you go looking for trouble by taking advantage of obvious line errors, then this is the kind of situation you can end up in.

If the book put a error line that is on them. If I lose they probably took my money. If I win they need to pay me. It is their duty to make sure they put out a correct line period. I'm a customer and bet on a line you put out and I'm can't tell if the line is an error. I don't know if my book got an info that it will be a winner so he move the line himself. Local book moves line all of the time. So they need to play fair. Error or not it is not your fault. If anyone here ever play on an error line and lost and ever got refund for the play the next day or even get a message saying the bet was cancel due to error line. Then I'm ok with this.

Have had great luck with Bovada as well. Wish they would get the nfl lines up a little sooner and I could do without the Canadian checks but they ALWAYS pay. You would be hard pressed to do better if you like the dogs.

Never encountered a problem of any kind in the sis plus years I've been with 5dimes, and I'm talking big bucks, both deposits and payouts. Main reason I stick is because of their lines and the types of wagers they offer. No other book offers the types of available wagers they provide at 5D.
