Texas/OU CBB game was listed as being offered live this afternoon; come game time it was off the board. Why even list it if there's not enough staff to cover it?

Last night during Fla/Tenn the lines didn't post during each break. Customer services advised that they were "having some problems" with live betting.

I keep hearing that 5D is the best out there for US players - since there's really no competition, is that really saying anything? Feels like they're getting complacent.

i wrote about them like 10 days ago i hit nice there throughout the fball season and hit pretty big 2 weeks ago and now my limit is $10. if you look hard enough you will find better then them, trust me.their customer service has always been subpar, and it is only getting worse. they know they were at the top of the mountain for years. but you are the most vulnerable when at the top, and they have certainly gotten complacent.

That's why pure cash bets at Vegas are the best.

Dealing with these online books, it's virtual $, they can play with it.

I've heard nothing but GOOD things about 5dimes though.  Class book.  Maybe it's suddenly changed, but I doubt it.

You're right - and really, what I'm complaining about is pretty small potatoes but I think it's an indication of larger issues. It happened again today...UNC/Clemson and Duke/UVA were "advertised" this afternoon as being offered live. I just logged on a few minutes ago and *poof*

yeah man i wouldn't worry about it.  There's a TON of sh!t books out there I think you've got one of the best in 5dimes

It's always better to place ur bets in Vegas IMO.  Because then you see the cold hard cash, not virtual $.

besides u're doing live betting which is hard as f for the books to do, because people try to cheat the timing and there's no reference/other books to check ur lines with

if u're not getting ur $ that's another thing...

try betting half times with them.  You will never get the number you play into.  They always say the number has changed.  The

change is always against you.
