    Default Sportbet. Does anyone play there? More questions inside!

    Sportbet was purchased by 5dimes. i don't have an account at 5 dimes. All their betting options look identical EXCEPT Sportbet offers a reduced juice from heaven for new depositors. What's your incite on this book past or present. They seem to offer a great edge to bettors with this juice. IDK know about you but saving money PER bet is FAAAR better than getting a $50 bonus to me. Oh yea, NO rollovers either. Throw me 2 cents please.

    Used to play Sportbet back in the day when they were under different ownership. The current incarnation is very similar to 5dimes, so if you likey 5 dimes, u will like them.

    I'm hoping that their payment is speedy when I request a withdraw.

    I haven't noticed any difference in lines from Sportbet to 5Dimes. Is there any difference? Am I missing something?

    Sportbet is an American bookmaker based in Costa Rica. It belongs to a bigger bookmaker from Costa Rica, 5Dimes. Sportbet offers some very high initial bonus that could lure every player. Unfortunately it is hard to meet the roll over requirements, but you shouldn’t be stressed about it. Sportbet is a huge source of arbs in soccer. The limits that you ll get from the very beginning will be 50-100$. You might think that this is ridiculous, but these arbs could go up to 4%, or even more. It is very difficult to build a big balance there due to the size of bets, so you will not have to withdraw money. Lines in american markets are very much average, and they follow simultaneously the big guys. Sportbet offers a big number of arbs, that could buy you the subscription for BetBrain and help you finish with roll overs, in depth of time. Simple like this. Also, some very nice arbs in Martial Arts. Very poor customer service.

    Is Jake still involved at SportBet in any capacity?

    He was a good guy to deal with. Also this was an amazing out for 2nd half lines
    years ago.

    They are basically a 5 dimes skin. I have played there and was happy with the experience although they are quick to cut limits so it is best for recreational players (euphemistic speak for losers).

    If they are currently affiliated with 5dimes, then they are prob ok. But about 2 years ago one of their crooked managers named Moe basically stole $1200 right out of my acct. Come to think of it, maybe I should get a hold of Tony the Tiger and ask him to cover Moe's debt

    even if it is "recreational", if I'm getting 30% increases in my parlays over there that makes it very interesting for me should I win only risking $20 on a 5 team parlay with chances on winning 26/1 as opposed to 5 dimes 24.3/1 which is already favorable

    A rep at 5dimes said I could not make a new account at sportbet if I had an account at 5dimes.
    I'm not sure if that is true, but it might screw you up if you win big in the future. You'd rather check it out before.
