    Default Explain to me the difference...

    Between a rec book and a professional book. I want to deposit at 5 Dimes but there was some rhetoric about "Tony" saying that if you win he'll banish you from the site. Is that how a rec book operates? Pls fill me in, I dont want to get on a hot streak and make some cash at 5 Dimes only for them to gank my winnings. Anybody wish to opine?

    Professional books will not throw you out if you win. They don't mind if you bet steam.

    If you beat 5Dimes, they'll pay you. I don't know of any cases where 5dimes refused to pay a professional player. There have been some odd disputes in the past, but nothing where a player was clearly in the right, and didn't get paid.

    They are somewhat loose and subjective terms, but a "rec" book is a book that is mostly good, mostly honest, you'll get paid, etc etc, but if you are looking to win a lot from them it won't happen.

    A "pro" book is one where you won't get many problems if you bet and win a lot. That's the only difference.

    It depends on how much you play per game, if your a bigger player I would not play at 5 Dimes period. 5 Dimes is for the recreational gambler looking to have fun and bet many items on the board and many gimmick bets offered. 5 Dimes is another Bet365 type book, solid and they pay.

    Anyone that wins on a regular basis gets limits cut to about $10 per game.

    thanks guys....with that being said, may you pls list the "professional" books? I dont want to putz around with 5 Dime is they'll get salty if I start to lay it on them. I am a Sportsbook.com reject (actually Sportfanatik.com) and I need a book that aint going belly-up and wont screw me over.

    5Dimes will give you everything you won and any bonuses earned. Players who bet moving numbers will eventually be phone-only. If you dont' need more than a nickel a game the 105 option can't be beat.
