A couple months ago, my friend and I bet Luke Rockhold by KO/TKO. We were so disappointed that Branch tapped due to strikes.
Then we were ecstatic to hear Luke won by TKO was the official result. You can never be too safe, so we looked up the official results to have some literature. It was confirmed that in MMA is you tap due to strikes it’s a TKO, just like if you get KO’d it’s a submission even though you didn’t submit.
The money never showed up. We had to live chat them and screenshot them UFC, Sherdog, etc with Rockhold via TKO. The 5dimes infamous ass hole named Tony (google him if you’ve never heard of him, you won’t believe your eyes!!) told me that he doesn’t give a shit what the result said, he will send me a video of a Branch tapping therefore it’s a submission.
So for now on, I’ll always look back and see Luke won by TKO and I lost a bet even though I bet him by TKO. So I was done with 5dimes.
My buddy placed some small bets this weekend on some long shots. He had Rose by submission. When Joanna tapped we were going nuts. Especially because we had the proof that if someone taps it is a submission on 5dimes.
Long story short, this time 5dimes graded it a KO for Rose.
When you bet with 5dimes, you don’t just have to win, you have to be on the right side of who they feel like declaring the winner
