I'm sitting behind a counter tonight. Gamblers are betting like crazy and not one of them has to worry about Not getting paid or freerolled because the Indiana Gaming Commission will not allow it. Because it's regulated and fair no matter what, whether my sportsbook likes it or not. There's a lot of integrity involved unlike offshore black market unregulated business. Times are changing for the good of bettors in America.

I understand. I will stop.Comment -
Is there another kind????
That's why I think when a bookie screws you over or goes under it's part of the gamble you take with any book when you sign up.. Don't let huge balances sit in books is the moral of the story I guess in the future... Ya never know when the ball can drop????Comment -
I've been outspoken for a couple days. I realize this. I love offshore gambling. It made me. All along, though it was not right. These operators, they know they can do anything they want without real repercussions and that bothered me to the core. I did what I did for a paycheck. And, I wish I didn't.Comment -
I have no problem with his view. The problem is that hes repeated it 1000 times already in response to others posting about offshore issues. He's admitted to it already.
General usually a likeable fella.
Who the fukk are you to ask me why I ask him to please stop?Comment -
I don't mean any harm and I have been over the top. I am passionate about this scenario because it's a repeated behavior by many top offshore sportsbooks. They cannot be beat. These unregulated companies will always beat you. You cannot win. Please stop funding their ideology. You, as a bettor, will always 💯,% of the time, LOSE...Comment -

You probably know this... You're old boss "the Shrink" beat a local bookie in my area for $75,000.. He and his partner which will remain nameless did a HUGE business by phone only back in the day, had to let him go.. He was paid, but, not quite the dummy some believe...And yes I think he's dead!Comment -

Can we keep these posts related to 5dimes and what is happening?
They seem to be paying people out now and the only issue is they haven’t refunded futures yet. They said they are putting people in a que.
SBR is working with management to find a solution to the “free rolling” it’s been 2 days let’s hold off on the panic for now even though at times it can be frustrating.Comment -
Off topic, but I miss Ken Weitzner, The Shrink, very much. When I look back, he was correct...fuk ppl. Do your thing. He was a hell of a man who understood feelings were worthless.Comment -
The general sees himself as a little "shrink" for being famous....who knowsComment -
I know what many are thinknig and with just cause. This probably won't end well for many players. Can 5Dimes actually payout to everyone that requests their balance in full? I am thinking no, they cant withstand a run on the bank from their biggest client base, those in the USA.Comment -
Other A rated books that left the market have paid their players like the Greek, BetJAm, and CRIS and pinnacle....they had to know the balances of US players before they made the announcement public and they are contiuining to pay customers Who have requested payouts since the announcement.
If they didn’t plan on paying people they would have just closed up shop and disappeared. They didn’t do that.Comment -
I'm a little Shrink... I wish... Ken Weitzner is a penetrating legend. That man was so much more than me.Comment -
They may have good intentions but if it ever comes down to having to self preserve or payout in full I know what they will choose.
They are loyal to themselves first, players are a distant second. So right now it looks promising but that may change. I hope it works for everyone but I have a bad feeling this won't end well for players with big balances there.Comment -

my response:
Listen Jack, explain to me how it isn't stealing to have a FUTURES MARKET, where you will not grade a WINNER, but you will have graded LOSERS.
To me, that is stealing. Please explain how it isn't. Refund my losing bets for markets that you are cancelling.

The lock of the year was this thread degrading into a pissing match and filled with nonsense. Only took two days.
Anyway, if you are owed money or have futures try to be patient. It's a tough situation for all but 5 dimes will work it out and pay who's owedComment -
I HAVE MAJOR DOUBTS MIKEY!!! I just know from past experiences over the decades.. This kinda shit usually doesn't work out well.. It's a payout over load for 5dimes right now.. Gonna try to squeeze ya.. It's real money we are talking about.. No legal consequences if they stiff or draw it out so that you don't get your money as a US member now.
Like I said I'm not holding my breath, I hope I'm wrong and we all get paid.. I just don't see it happening.. Sorry.. Maybe 25% get paid out with small balances is my best guess at this point. I've been around this game for along time.. Don't wanna be a Debbie downer though..
When they now start asking for PIN #, etc.. Bla bla bla with Bitcoin withdraw requests good luck with all that shiiit.. Fishy!! Squeeze play is on...Comment
