5Dimes

Sports Betting

Sports betting is where 5Dimes really shines. The website covers a wide variety of sports and offers numerous wagers for every event, including prop bets. Multiple leagues are included within each sport as well, so you’re not limited to betting only on the top pro league. Ultimately, there are more betting options here than at any other US sports betting site.

Where 5Dimes shines the brightest, however, is in its lines. When comparing the lines between 5Dimes and other sports gambling sites, 5Dimes is frequently the best. Even discounting the frequent reduced juice wagers, 5Dimes is still known for providing the most generous odds in all sports.

5Dimes is one of only two sportsbooks that we consider “must haves” for serious sports bettors (the other being Bookmaker.eu). Actually, you don’t even need to be a serious bettor. Anyone with an interest in getting the best odds should have an account at 5Dimes and always check the lines here before placing a bet anywhere else.

As far as types of bets, 5Dimes provides standard wagers such as moneylines, totals, point spreads and props. They also support parlays, teasers, reverses, futures and even virtual office pools. Remember, you have to log in before you can see any of these wagers. If you’re interested in seeing what all 5Dimes has to offer, you’ll need to make an account (it’s free and takes 2 minutes).

Supported Sports:

Casino Gambling

The casino at 5dimes is a well-kept secret that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. It has more than 200 games that you can access via the website or by downloading the software. There’s also a selection of live dealer games that use streaming video, real dealers and real cards to deal games to you in real time.

That’s not what makes the casino worth mentioning, though. The real secret is this:

Here’s an example: the bonus casino at 5Dimes has a single zero roulette game. Most casinos pay even money on bets such as red/black and even/odd. 5Dimes instead pays 26:25 on all even money bets. This results in a lower house advantage. We don’t know of a gambling site anywhere that pays more than even money. 5Dimes is the only one.

So with hundreds of games, downloadable or instant play software and a low house advantage, the 5Dimes.eu casino is a great choice for any gambler.

5Dimes Racebook

There are actually two different racebooks at 5Dimes, each with its own bonus. First, we have the 10% bonus book. At this one, you get full track odds plus 10% at all the major tracks and 10% extra on all WIN and exotic wagers.

The other option is the rebate racebook. At this one, you get 9% of your action given back to you every day. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose; you get back 9% of every bet you place. This rebate is given daily with no minimums or maximums.

As far as actual horse betting, the 5Dimes racebook covers all the major North American tracks and provides all the standard wagers. You can place simple wagers such as the win, place and show bet plus a variety of exotics. The minimum bet is $0.25 and the maximum varies by track, but is generally set at $500 per bet.

Lottery

5Dimes has a unique lottery service that allows you to play any state’s Pick 3 and Pick 4 lotto. Here’s the cool thing: you get paid up to 80% higher at 5Dimes than what the states offer in their official lotteries. For example a Pick 3 payout at 5Dimes will give you a 900:1 payout. That same exact ticket purchased at a gas station would only pay 500:1.

You can’t play in the big, national lotteries at 5Dimes, but you can place bets on whether or not there will be a Powerball or Mega Millions winner. There’s not much here for the big lotteries, but 5Dimes is excellent for Pick 3 and 4 tickets.

5Dimes Poker

Poker is easily the weakest offering at 5Dimes. The 5Dimes poker room runs on the Winning Poker Network, which is a sparsely populated poker network that has a hard time keeping games running at anything above the micro stakes. The software is below average and the games run slowly.

On the plus side, you will find a weekly tournament here with a $50,000 guarantee and low stakes cash games that are extremely soft. If you can deal with the annoying software and lack of games above $1/$2, there is some easy money to be made here. However, this isn’t the first poker room we would recommend to serious poker players.

Customer Support and Financials

5Dimes has a pretty good customer support team. They respond to questions quickly and will help you solve any problems that you come across. However, we have seen a few chat logs that show support people being rude to players. But for the most part, you can expect quality, competent support here.

We have never seen any major problems with cashouts at 5Dimes. Players have been reporting quick withdrawals here for years. That is an impressive accomplishment for any sports betting site that serves the legally-challenging US market.
