5Dimes is far from the most popular or best known of all the sports betting sites in the world, but they are known for posting early lines, have no problem doing business with both big and small fish, offer more lines than other sites their size, don’t take much juice, and are well-reviewed in terms of customer support.

5dimes Customer Base
5dimes goes out of their way to mix a balance of the regular gaming public and the big name bettors. For starters, their five cent overnight lines make it attractive for bettors of all calibers.

 How to Place a Bet at 5dimes
5Dimes makes it easy to place a bet, a good sign for a sports bettor’s paradise. Some reviewers refer to 5dimes betting process as “quick and dirty,” and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. You just have to log in, read their well-designed menus, and place a bet. You could teach a five year old to make a bet at 5dimes, though I wouldn’t recommend it for obvious reasons.

5dimes Bet Variety
5Dimes does in fact have a wide variety of bets, but you should look into the fine print before choosing this site based just on its big game variety. There are plenty of bets to be had above and beyond the standard and generic betting lines. What they don’t get exactly right is the ability to bet on things like reality TV outcomes, entertainment success, and exotic financial bets. Don’t expect much outside of sports bets at 5dimes and you won’t be disappointed

5Dimes offer points spreads on basically each and every American college football and college basketball games, even obscure contests like Lamar University vs. McNeese State. I dare you to find lines on those obscure events, especially lines posted that early.

5dimes Bonus Program
Admittedly, 5dimes bonus program is more than a little convoluted. Think of it this way—at least 5dimes is giving you options rather than making you take whatever bonus you can get.
There are three basic deposit bonus options to pick from: a reduced amount of juice, a cash back program, and a straight up bonus program. That bonus program helps you earn between 20-50% free-play for the sportsbook, depending entirely on the deposit method you choose and the amount you play. That bonus is good for a 50% match. 5dimes has reload bonuses aplenty, usually a 20% match depending on your method of deposit and as long as you deposit at least $250 and only as much as $2500.
As for the 5dimes cash back system? You can earn 15% cash back on all of your sportsbook losses two times every year. You have to request those cash back offers a maximum of two times per year, once just before the American Super Bowl and once just before the American NFL pre-season starts its schedule.
Now, about that reduced juice option—that will appeal to people who bet larger amounts. This program won’t give you access to the more lucrative bonuses and rebates, but you will save cash simply by paying less for the bets you were already going to make anyway.
Your choice of these bonuses may leave you a little confused, but have no fear. Customer support is there to help 24/7.

Other 5dimes Promotions
You can earn as much as 20% cash back on your overall losses as long as you’re subscribed to the program itself. You also get an extra 10% on your winnings with Exotic bets at major horse tracks
There’s a 30% Super Saver Reward, an unknown Refer a Friend Bonus, and a number of special daily promotions:
Tuesdays mean you get reversed commission on Pai Gow in the bonus casino.
Wednesdays give you expanded payouts in roulette in the bonus casino.
On Thursdays, enjoy 100x craps in the bonus casino, while Fridays pay out 2/1 blackjack at the same Bonus Casino time.
Saturdays are great for video poker players, who can play Deuces Wild at a 100.76% payout in the casino, and Sundays offer video poker game Jokers Wild a 100.64% expectation machine in their casino.

5dimes Customer Service
5dimes is well known for some of the best and fastest customer support of any sports betting site. They have a long list of toll-free phone numbers for different countries, all listed for easy access from the front page. Even better, you can live chat with customer service for a few hours each day, and as always you can contact customer support via e-mail questions.

5dimes Website Design
Okay, so 5dimes isn’t going to win any beauty contests for sportsbooks online, but the goal of the site is to provide a very simple interface for betting, not to impress with graphics and flashy animations.

Take a look at their landing page for example—not exactly dead but certainly not attractive. Not a cool flash graphic or scrolling image to be found, but you get the absolute bare necessities along with weekly news about the sites and upcoming games. This more than makes up for the relatively weak design.

5Dimes leads the industry in early lines, which show up about eight in the morning. 5Dimes also gets high marks for customer service. However, the bonus structure is very confusing with hundreds of bonus options to pick from. The ability to wager in American currency means most people will have to pay money exchange fees. There are pluses and minuses about 5dimes, but if you like early lines and good customer service, check them out.

Our friends over at Killtherake.com are usually are offering 5-Dime bonus codes for 1st depositors. Enzo occasionally gives out his sportsbetting picks for free. I went 6-3 for this month with him (Dec. 2011).
