Not a chance. Pinnacle is the standard and you are safe there. Not to mention the low juice they have on everything else you can bet. Nothing wrong with having multiple outs, but just for horses, Pinny is the logical one.

I don't know Randall, the above makes sense....I was leaving alot of money on the table putting all my action through Youbet (got a call from them a week ago asking what happened, told them 7% happened) but this 10% thing from Dimes makes financial sense, if you pick winners....

Randall, are we talking about horse bets or sports bets? If you want to bet sports, go to Pinnacle--I would agree that it is the best book for sports. But I thought I was talking about horse bets.

5Dimes has been around as long or longer than Pinnacle. 5Dimes's "A" rating at Sportsbookreview.com speaks for itself, if you are an experienced sports bettor. Instead of saying "Pinny is the logical one", how about showing why? I stated my case for 5Dimes pretty thoroughly. Do you see something wrong in my calculations?

You will end up with about 40% more money from bonuses/rebates at 5Dimes than you will at Pinnacle. I don't see how that makes Pinnacle the "logical one".

Was I right with my calculations or not?
