5Dimes Props No Longer Available for Most NFL Football Games
Posted by James on 27 November 2011 in Betting Sites Newswww.5dimes.eu is the most popular betting sites in the US market due to their reduced juice offers (-105 on NFL sides), amazing teaser odds (2-team 6 point +100) and massive selection of NFL prop bets. Unfortunately the later is no longer what it used to be. Effective November 27, 2011 5Dimes is no longer offering prop bets for most NFL games. Their policy going forward is to offer props on a single 1PM game, a single 4PM game, the Sunday night game and of course Monday Night Football. The number of props offered on these matches is lower as well.
Up until Week 12 of the NFL Season 5Dimes would offer more than 250 propositions on each and every football game. Many of these were alternative markets. For example, instead of the usual will a team score in the first 7:30 of a game offered by most sites: 5Dimes would have the same proposition for first 7:30, 7:00, 6:30, 3:30, 1:00 and sometimes additional options were offered as well. From 2011 NFL Week 12 forward the alternative markets are no longer listed at 5Dimes. The few games remaining on the board for week 12 have 43 props offered; still impressive, but keep in mind it was 250+ prior.
At this time the reason for 5Dimes reducing their proposition offers for NFL football is unknown. One can only speculate however that the TheGreek leaving the US market, Sportsbook.com no being what it used to be and VIP.com closing has reduced the recreational action these props receive. Those three sites, which are no longer an option, were well known for offering props on all games of the NFL season. Once NFL Sunday is in the books and the openers are posted for next week, Sports Betting Sites will attempt to contact 5Dimes General Manager Tony Williams for comment. This post will be updated once new information is uncovered.
Alternative Sites Offering NFL Props
If you’re looking to bet Props on every game of the 2011 NFL Season, there are at least two US friendly betting sites still offering these.
Bookmaker.eu NFL Props
Bookmaker.eu is our top choice. Although these only get posted a couple hours before the game, here you’ll find the following props for all games of the NFL season:
- Which Team Will Score First?
- Will There Be a Score in the First 7:30?
- Will The First Score be a Touchdown?
- Will The Team That Scores First Win the Game?
- Will Either Team Score 3 Unanswered Times?
- Will There Be A Score in the Last 2 Minutes of the Second Half?
Keep in mind the above props are available for ALL games of the NFL season. At Bookmaker.eu you’ll also find alternative point spreads, team totals, quarter wagers, and several additional propositions offered on a limited number of games. Bookmaker is also A+ rated on our Sportsbook Rating Guide, for more about them read our Bookmaker.eu Review.
A sad update: On June 20, 2012 another site great for NFL props Intertops.eu stopped accepted new US players.
Calling for a Replacement
I’m not sure in the current market too many betting sites want to target savvy players, but this would be a very good time for a competitor to rush and expand their NFL prop offers if so. If you work for an online sportsbook and read this, consider linking your boss to this post.
