Here's why 5Dimes is better than Pinnacle

[Rupert Pupkin]

Dunbar can correct me if I am wrong but I thought that the limits were very low at 5Dimes when it comes to the 10% bonus. I thought that they only offered it on bets up to $100 or something like that. If that is the case, then a big bettor would want to stick with Pinny.

"For Pick 3's, and Pick 4's, if a horse is scratched in any leg, you will receive refunds on all combos with the scratched horse, no matter when the horse was scratched. You will not receive the track favorite or any consolation payouts, but instead a refund. This is an advantage for the player."

Pinnacle is a joke for having this idiotic policy above.Let me know when they stop doing it.

Rupert, you are making the same mistake I did for awhile. I initially misread the FAQs. The $100 is simply the limit that they will guarantee full track odds. Above $100 5Dimes pays track odds UP TO 110-1 odds. But they have no limit on the 10%. If you bet $500 at 4-1 and win, you will collect $2750, not $2500.

Mis-reading that cost me a bunch of money. But even so, I wouldn't have made the complete switch to 5Dimes before they began taking action close to post time.
