Here is my observation... I have used 5dimes for about 10 years. Like most gamblers, they have collected PLENTY of money from me. From time to time I have had an issue with the grading of a wager, or random things. Sometimes the website is not available, but propbet as a backup usually is there. They have always resolved my problems in a professional manner, to my satisfaction.
I had a big run on system wagering of MLB a few years back, and rolled up over $60K in my account. I took a few withdrawals at that time, but I wish I took out more. I also transfered $25K to my bookmaker account. I lost the rest in due time. My limits were never cut, but I do believe that they are cut for accounts that are proven to be professional high rollers. That is not their demographic, and I don't think they go out of their way to make it appear that they cater to high rollers.
I still use 5dimes almost exclusevly. I am very happy after a very long term of use.
I believe that most complaint threads are from dishonest people. Many of them are dishonest in that they profited in some way from a mistake, and they hate that they were cought. Maybe a bad line, or a credit to their account that they want to keep. They tell a story that is very incomplete in details, and clearly lacking the full story.
I also believe that other books would LOVE to have the action that 5dimes receives. So anybody can post on there and create a cloud of confusion to prospective 5dimes users to try to get their action.
Plenty of talk about Tony. I have never talked with the man at all. Many here say he can be a real SOB. I'm willing to bet that if I were in his shoes, having to deal with people trying every way to cheat his business every day, I would be a bit harsh with a person that I realize is trying to cheat me. I have never talked to the man, and have no desire to do so. If you are talking to Tony, your beef has been escalated to defcon 6 status and you are about to get the boot most likely.
I hope this post brings some balance to the discussion here. Yes I am real, and everything I wrote here is my experience.
