it was pretty easy to startup, and easy to deposit....I only have a MC and Amex, and most off shore guys only take Visa.....they made it pretty simple, just buy an ICP (some sort of gift card)....and it was only 1% of total cost....i can live with that....

50% bonuses right now for new players.....

however, I was kinda surprised that max deposit is $250.....

i may stick with it, I may not....I am coming from sportsbook....I liked sportsbook mainly because of all the info, power ratings, stats, etc.....I can already see that 5dimes doesnt have that.....I still have my sportsbook account, so i guess Ill go there for the info, and go to 5dimes for my bets.....

and they were not taking cc at the time. I had to do a damn money gram and send that **** to Guatemala or somewhere. I do like that they have the reduced juice and I chose that over doing anything with rewards. If you place bets within 24 hours of the event. You can get anywhere from zero juice to max five. Its a pretty good site and works well on the phone.

and Bodog is just the most convienient one for me. (low limit betting).

Free cashouts and easy deposits makes the late line postings bearable.

What playthrough are you getting on those bonuses? 10x playthrough and you have 2k in bets to place on a 100 buck deposit before you can cashout a dime.

I play Betus but only to get an advantageous line to my other book. They are alway heavier on the favorite so it is a solid book to place underdog wagers.

Betus required no playthrough or turnover from what I remember from the other sites I used to use. With those sites, I remember not getting credit or being able to use the bonus until I played a certain amount (the 10x you're referring to?). For betus, the bonus went into a "Free Play" category balance and I was able to bet with it immediately (or the next day). When I bet with the Free Play:If I lost, the Free Play balance went down just that bet amount.If I won, the winnings went into my regular account balance. But I haven't tried to cashout yet, either. As I remember it, I had no problem meeting the turnover requirements on those other sites anyway.<div>
</div><div>Now that I think about it, it does seem like betus goes heavier on the favorites. My thing has always been to pick only the home favorites that I think will win by more than the line, and typically to stay away from underdogs or visiting teams. If I'm doing well, I'll start picking other things, but then I find I'm not as good at picking those as home favorites. (again, I don't pick EVERY home favorite, just the ones I think will cover). So if betus goes heavier on home favs, then I may find myself missing out on a few more close ones. We'll see.</div><div>
</div><div>If I stay on football and typically with the home favs, I'm fairly decent at this stuff. A few weeks ago when I opened the account I did not do very well on baseball, then decided to try MMA and lost 2 out of 2 (and I picked the favorites). But since then, on NFL preseason, I've gone 21-10. As I remember before, every January I'd start to suck at college basketball, and quit until college football started back.</div>

So, you taking the dogs at -27.5?.....I'm really thinking we win this game 50-7.....the O/U is 50 too.....may even lean into BYU -3.....it always seems I lose most in the early season, and win most later in the season....so I like to hear who's taking what in the early season...

I understand everyone on this board loves state and BYU. Can't see both covering. Gambling goods are not that nice...
