    If you spot bad lines, tell Customer Service to get them corrected.
    The guy called & asked about it & they said it was good..............he made an effort..........they let the play stand. Whose fault is that? Any non-half-asssed operation would've caught it before the action..........these monkeys didn't catch it for a week (?)
     The guy cashed out some & the rest was confiscated..........They need to let it go & chalk it up to a mistake.

    Tony is a STUPID businessman.  Dan and him BOTH realized a mistake was made, and the customer was prepared to discuss a fair settlement.  

    But Tony had to act like some tough guy mafioso, and he succeeded...in killing his business in the near future, that is.

    I am sure if Tony would have offered something like a 15K settlement (half of Dan's balance), the customer would probably have gladly obliged since he had less than $1 in his account before his remarkable run.

    And then Tony should fix this small mistake on his site so the problem never arises again.  And with the goodwill, he would recoup the loss in no time.

    Tony could easily be a connected guy for all we know, I'm sure everyone knows who ran the casinos in Cuba before Casto kicked them out, and or coarse Vegas, why would these offshores be any different. At the end of the day these are illegal transactions, proceed at your own risk gentleman.

     As well how many online sportsbooks do you guys in the states have access to anymore?

    The question that needs to be accessed is rather quite simple. When dealing with a business/organization, who is liable for mistakes? In this case, the employees of 5dimes are liable, as I am rather certain that phone calls/messages are documented. Therefore, there should be substantial proof. Now, when an employee of a business/organization messes up in the real world, what happens? The company is liable for the mistake made by a representative, and I emphasize representative of a company. The people you hire are representing yourself.

    Example: you own a business, something that isn't franchised or regulated by anything but the law along with commercial laws. The worker makes a mistake regarding a price issue, what normally occurs is that, the employee is terminated and the customer is right. Does that entitle the customer to the pricing, not always. Manager's have the discretion whether or not to allow the error made by their representative to stand, or to disallow it. So in this case, the 5dimes employees should either be fired, or the person in question should be paid. The other option is that the employees should be terminated, and their should be no one owing anyone, squashed. Since this is not your ordinary business, it is difficult to say, but in the real world, or at least North American world, that is generally how procedures are run and reputations are maintained.

    What do you do when you see a bad line?  Maybe I am the only one that thinks that is cheating and doesn't want to cheat the book.

    This was several hundred legit bets and more than a month after he was overpaid on his winning pleaser bet. At this point his account balance was $32,563.09. The excitement of his biggest winning week was ended when he found his 5Dimes account locked right after this win.


     
    This right here tells me tony is a buffoon............he is simply trying to find a way to screw a customer. They were probably fine with the line in question until the guy got hot. Speaking of which, thorpe, this was not an advertised line.........this guy played a progressive pleaser............not exactly something you just stumble across on the web & decide to open an acct. to take advantage of. You seem to be inferring that he spotted an error & purposely created an alias to take advantage of it. I suppose that's possible but the story sure doesn't read that way. Let's not forget, the original play only netted about 10% of the total amount in question...........now you want to say ALL his winning plays are void? 

     Do I advocate cheating someone out of their money? No..........but if they want to give it to me despite my protests I'll eventually cave in & take it.

    This one is EASY......if 5Dimes was subject to US laws/regulations....it would be a different story
      *if employees were operating 'within the scope' of their normal duties...the customer keeps the cash....5Dimes could investigate the matter further and (try) legal action to recover their losses .......

    Bottom line?
    They have all the leverage in ANY dispute

    NOT IN ANY WAY....saying 5Dimes is right here.......

      *but face it....if you're DUMB enough to keep a substantial amount of cash with an organization in which you have ZERO recourse.......it shouldn't be a huge shock to you if you don't get paid....if you can't do s h i t about it right?...........  

    NOTE:  most all these offshore books have 'agents' in the US ....mainly to take care of big players....(I know a few)......rarely would they have to 'collect'.....> break fingers.........and I wouldn't think they would here for 30K or so......but yet AGAIN....(they) hold all the cards
      *unless you're an ex Navy Seal and can go to Costa Rica with some old buddies.........................

    also....keep in mind we're getting 100% of this from the customer....Tony's version might be a little different

    I did the opposite of this guy 2 years ago.  Betting in play soccer my account was credited $400 on a losing play I lost that money before they re-graded the play.

    Guess what my account was in the negative and I had to repay my losses.  

    So if someone wins with incorrect funds it doesn't count but if they lose it does.

    I've had it with 5dimes. They have gotten pretty bad lately.  If you talk back they suspend your acct.

    In a drunken stupor or just because he is an idiot.
    Does Tony the D0uche Williams give him his money back?

    I say hell no, If you read the entire back and forth between these two, It is pretty apparent that Tony is a sc*mbag wanna be bully and the only solution to the tony's vindictive and child like attitude is a 45 calibur bullet right between his eyes.

    Iv never been afraid to speak my mind, and I will tell you all right now, Tony deserves to drown in his own piss, If this dirtbag was on fire I wouldnt piss on him to put it out, Id wait until the fire burned itself off before Id take a leak on him.

    To threaten a man and his family with Violence while he is hiding like a little B*tch in a third world country?
    He obviously has Dan Bautons address.
    Ridiculous, Embarrassing, Disgraceful, Pathetic, and Deplorable are some of the things to describe this wanna be two dime bookmaker.

    that doesnt seem right either. lets say you go all in on a bet thats misgraded and now have 2k in you account. assuming wins dont count but loses do, you could go back and forth making bets, staying about the same bankroll, but easily rack up 50k in loses. so now you have to pay back that 50k in loses because theres no wins to offset it? thats crazy

    i have another situation that id be interested in hearing everyones opinion. say you have 2k in your account, make a 1k bet that loses but is misgraded. so now you have about 3k, but should only have 1k. you take this up to 30k and then they find out that it was misgraded. what do they do? if you went all in i could see them taking all of your money, but not if you have a little left in your account. so do they take you back down to 1k (i think thats wrong), take 2k out that should have been taken out before (makes sense to me), or do they just take all of the money in your account because they can?

    Ask this Tony guy had he lost the money would they say its okay hell no you can't have it both ways.

    I lost the money on bet365 and happily paid it back when I was in the negative.  Had I turned it into more profit I would guarantee they would just minus the mistake and have my account balance adjusted.  To freeze the account and not pay and even threaten to want more money back is just a ploy to stiff the remaining balance.

    If I was the book I would do the same thing this way I know the 10k is gone but this client won't have the balls to want the remaining balance because he thinks even the 10k is a gift and he should be happy.

    so here's what basically happened:  a female fighter named ronda rousey called out a male fighter named bryan caraway, and bryan caraway answered back and calls her an unintelligent bimbo.  How more unrealistic can you be?  What in the world can you expect?  Both parties are at fault.  Don't take the bait and don't make unrealistic callouts when a fight is unrealistic to ever happen, although in the case of 5dimes and dan bouton, the domino effect started to happen and then both parties left each other with a can of worms.  And lets say that dan bouton did the right thing by giving the money back which would be unrealistic on his part to do.  It wouldn't change the fact that 5dimes has a history of putting out the incorrect lines, incorrect payout odds, then again they have a lot of options that you won't see anywhere else.  Ronda Rousey should just shut the fukk up in the first place.  Just because she's a woman and first queen of the ufc does not give her a right to say whatever she wants, although it happened before women were allowed in the ufc.  Caraway did not help matters either by responding to a woman like that either and he should have just shut the hell up too.  If 5dimes fixes their customer service, there won't be any possibilities of incorrect payouts of $10,000 like that, HORRENDOUS error that can be easily fixed with a dedicated team despite tony williams being an assh0le on everything else.

    I apologize for the incorrect reference, Lippsman.  It's been so long, i figured that "Lou" was the owner/general manager of both websites, somehow connected but i've been mistaken.

    Kapono - I guess your situation led to the "initial ruling" and "end of broadcast ruling" lines.

    It makes me weary about doing a large parlay on 5 dimes, but he can't weasel out of a legitimate hit with indefinite lines.

    So I googled that address that came up in the chat just to see where that was located. The website should have bleeped that out if it belonged to the player.

    $32,000 is probably a lot of money for said player, especially when Tony has threatened a $10,000 collection notice.

    The first hit in the google search came up with a zillow page that said that his home was purchased for $37,000 back in 1997. That means that the player could pay off his entire mortgage if 5 dimes would pay him the money they technically should owe him.

    I almost made a deposit with 5dimes when pinnacle went down on Super Bowl Sunday.  They advertised that they accepted insta debit but I couldn't find the option after creating an account.  So I go on the online chat and immediately the guy asks me for my user ID and password over chat .... I'm not an IT person but this is a huge security flaw.  You should never be asked to provide your password in an email or over chat and the people on the other end should never see your password.  your password should be stored in an encrypted file and matched against the password you type in.  That was enough for me .... Amateur operation and this just further proves my intuition.

    we are blinded by the aftermath.....player wins a lot is not the point....player taking advantage of a mistake is the point but to say mistakes don't happen is unrealistic....This player is not the only one winning but I believe is the only one called out because of this mistake....grading mistakes happen and I believe it's the players responsibility to let the book know of a grading mistake and correct it immediately. I once asked why does the book offer a split squad spring training(ss)game and the answer is because they can and if you bet it and won you win but if you bet it and loses you lose. You might think it's a mistake for them to offer those games but it's not under their rules....
