QUESTION
Can I fund 5dimes with Paypal?.
ANSWER
No. You can not fund 5dimes with Paypal.
You can fund your 5dimes account with bitcoin or MoneyGram.
Do not use anything with your personal information to fund your 5dimes account.
This means that you should not fund your 5dimes account with your credit card or debit card or checking account (it has your personal information). If you do, you will be seeing unauthorized charges on your card or account a few weeks later.
5dimes is two-faced...yes they will pay you whatever money you win (if you win $5,000, they will pay you $5,000). This is great. But there is some funny business going on in the back office. If you want to know what I am talking about, use a credit card or (better yet) a debit card to fund your account (just as an experiment; be ready to close out these cards soon). A few weeks (or maybe a month or two) later you will see some weird charges on your account (things that you did not personally pay for). If you call 5dimes, they will deny that they have anything to do with these charges (but me and several people on my email list know better).
So be smart: only fund your 5dimes account with bitcoin or MoneyGram.
Another thing:
You better have a solid system in place before you put any money into your account because 5dimes makes it almost TOO EASY to bet. You have to know exactly how you will be placing bets (you need a SYSTEM before you put money into 5dimes).
This means that the convience that 5dimes offers is a 2-way sword. Yes, they make it super easy to make small 0.25 cent bets. However, the other side of the coin is that you can easily burn $1,000 or $2,000 in a day or two by placing silly bets (I have in the past).
Going down to the store near you is an inconvience; you have to go outside and walk over to the store and spend money. So you will think twice about spending money by the bodega near you. This is especially true when the weather is bad or you are busy.
Well, those obstacles do not exist when you have money in your 5dimes account; you can literally make bets ALL DAY LONG from the comfort of your own home.
Think about that.
You can literally make bets ALL DAY LONG from your computer.
This is NOT good for a compulsive player.
If you are compulsive player, the convinience that 5dimes offers will work against you. You will put $100 or $200 in your account and it can be gone in a day or two.
So be careful about opening or putting money into 5dimes.
Weigh the pros and cons.
If you tend to be conpulsive, avoid it.
If you are self-disciplined and you have a system in place, go for it.
