I asked this in the other betting thread but it would hurt to post it here as well: I've never bet online but I'm thinking about getting into it. So y'all are saying if you win, it still costs you money to collect your winnings? Do they payout on a Sunday or once a month. How does it work? And like the other guy asked, do y'all use credit cards or what?


I can't speak for how it pays out as this is my first week betting, but 5dimes will let you deposit money via your VISA debit card for free.

I'm not aware of any fee to collect your winnings although I do know the bookies/betting sites have juice on some of their bets (IE: when you see (-110) behind a bet). Basically you'd have to bet $110 to win $100 (the $10 difference is what they take as a sort of commission).

Someone may correct me, as again, this is my frist year.

I appreciate the help. What's the minimum amount you can bet on a game?

Never tried that.

Just found out $1




5Dimes offers reduced juice on gamedays. Meaning you may wager $105 to win $100....instead of the $110 to win $100.

Since I'm just starting this, I figure I'll bet as little as possible until I feel comfortable or get cocky.

doesnt matter how much money you bet. its what you feel comfortable with and what gives you the sweat. if you dont care about 10 bucks then its not as fun watching but if you are gonna be pissed if you lose 50 bucks bc you arent an OT baller then put that on a game and feel the grind


nothing better


GL to all tonight

I know Louisville is supposed to be good this year but that is a lot of points to be giving in a week one game. Especially since it is against a rival where the recent history that they have against them would suggest otherwise.


Also, just a FYI for anyone contemplating putting money down on UofL/UK, you'll want to keep an eye on the remnants of Isaac. It's going to be pretty close to that gametime window and they were at one point projecting 6-12" of rain from it.

Even after living in south Carolina the cock jokes really don't get that old.

5Dimes DOES have a -6 line out there. They are offering -6 on reduced juice, and -7 on College Football. I'm sure they are catching a few people on that one.

Took Cocks -6 just to have a dawg in the race. Going to hope the "emotion and believing" edge wears off for Vandy in the 4th. Oh and maybe a little wearing down by USCe's running game.

They really don't. And don't even get me started on "Cox Cable"

But seriously. I really think Carolina will win this one by more than the spread, but there is that seed of doubt planted from everyone hyping up Vandy this year.

I bought a point and took USCe @-5.5 to guard against a 6 pt win. That being said, I think Lattimore goes off and they run away in the 4th with a win by 13-21.
