It's not working for me at the moment. At the screen, all I see is please select a game but there's nothing to choose, despite there being tons of games being played right now. Thanks!

5dimes is no longer offering the live betting plus as of today. They had to be losing money on it and it was easy to see why. Their numbers were quite a bit off at times and they probably got hammered on it in certain situations. Even with the larcenous vig they were charging, they decided to stop offering that option rather can lose on a consistent basis.

that's fukked up man, changes a lot of things, i'm thinking i better look into some more of the bitcoin sportsbooks that offer the similiar live plus betting that 5dimes did away with today.
bet365 would be the perfect sportsbook for me......... even though they don't cater to american customers, i go to their site everytime and use it because they always have the up to date happenings in the game in real time.
i noticed the bet365 live betting was a handful of seconds ahead of the 5dimes plus betting, is it possible that people were cheating? one time i had a bet on 5dimes plus that i thought was graded incorrectly. it turns out the bet was indeed graded correctly but the attitude that 5dimes gave regarding it was that it was a third party and that i would have to wait for them to do whatever it was needed for a possible correction. the whole time i was thinking why can't 5dimes intervene? it's like whatever happened with the plus betting was something 5dimes could not control.
one thing i noticed that was wrong was the hockey live plus betting for regulation time 3 way betting. both teams listed and what was supposed to be DRAW they had listed NO GOAL. there were several times during the last few days that i was certain a few games would go to overtime but could not bet it because they never made the correction.

bet365 doesnt accept us players, if you live in us, how do you plan to use it?

I talked with some people that have an account at 5dimes that bet pretty heavy and are a lot sharper than me and they were absolutely destroying the live betting plus. The betting menu was huge and the limits were high. The only thing that they were surprised about 5dimes stopping that option was that they didn't do it a lot sooner. They all knew the gravy train was going to end so they kept pounding away until 5dimes cut it out permanently on Sunday.
You know the lines were very weak when they were robbing people by using huge straddles on the money lines and they were still getting beat.

Ice- There's no way they'll bring it back with that business model. I spoke with a guy I know that's in mourning right now because he has to go back to real handicapping instead of just cherry picking some of the horrible lines that were posted so often.
This guy's much sharper than most people and he said their live betting odds were based on an algorithm that took into account the original betting line, the current score and how much time was left in the game. Then they put in so juice in the lines that would make a loan shark blush. That works when you're booking to squares that just want action. The thing an algorithm can't take into account is that there's some very smart, patient bettors out there who'll sit in front of their computers all night to hit the glaring line mistakes that will pop up when you're booking that many games.
When you consider they were taking some pretty good limits, the losses for a sportsbook can add up fast. The thing that shocks me the most is the straddles they were using on the lines were criminal and guys were still winning. That tells me you can't tweak the program. You can only blow it up.
