And now we know Tony's real name.

[Regul8er]

1 million dollar ransom put on him....crazy!

[Reload]

Wow Tony has been kidnapped - Hope he ends up alright

[TheMetsSuck]

Seems bleak if it’s been 3 weeks. Need to hire a russel Crowe type from proof of life and hope he doesn’t steal your girl in the process.

Interesting theory about him staging it. You’d think he would be able to flee a place like Costa Rica with the right connections no problem. Take your family and as much money as you can and live the rest of your life in another country. Maybe they will be joining him at some point when things cool down if this theory is true.

Costa Rica is a beautiful place but full of scammers and desperate bad ppl. You get warned about one trick in particular that many fall victim to. When you rent a car it’s quite common for someone to slash your tire and follow you until you pull over and offer to help and then proceed to rob you

[jjgold]

Why would anyone go to a foreign country is beyond belief for a vacation

Third World countries just don’t have the security and laws like modern countries too much corruption

[katstale]

Initial thoughts:

1. Hope Tony is OK

2.Hope Lenny from Cascade is hired to deliver the ransom

3. Now might be good time to get my limits increased from $5 and my 45 second delay reduced

[jjgold]

Tony is a great man

Anyone wishing him bad will be struck dead themselves

Karma bad thing


He will be fine

5 Dimes greatest book of all times onshore or offshore bar none

[Louisvillekid1]

I can’t call it

spoke several times

kidnapping huge in area

but the amount seem low

hope all is well

[Louisvillekid1]

If paid he out

cuz they just do it again

[patswin]

Looks like they still have been paying people since he disappeared. Hoping it continues since the news will no doubt trigger a slew of w/d requests.

[jjgold]

The real pros handle it this way you pay say $1 million and then you go back and kill them all and their friends and He will never be kidnapped again

That’s how you send a real message

Hope things work out for him here, but he's been missing for three weeks.

That's a long time.

[Sam Odom]

Would hate to have a large sum with them now...

Get it out if you can

[jts1207]

Same page Sammy. This won't end well.

Dont even listen to anyone who works for a Forum (any forum) receiving $$$ from 5D... GET YOUR MONEY OUT

Where would any semi-sharp person want their money right now - CRIS/BM or 5D ?

[Ratpack]

dude has been gone for 3 weeks most of the time the longer they are gone the more likely the captives get frusturated they havent gotten paid and do something bad to the prisoner

[Barrakuda]

The CR company is not registered in his name.

"The book appears to be running smoothly, however, Gambling911.com can confirm that "Tony", who has already been identified in other media outlets as Sean Creighton of Morgantown, West Virginia, was the sole owner of 5Dimes Sportsbook. "

[shocka1212]

Why is this guy driving around with a Porsche Cayenne Turbo aka a car that is saying 'look at me, I'm rich' in a poor country with one of the highest crime rates in the world?

actually just says he has good taste. if he wanted to say "look at me I'm rich", he'd be in a Range Rover or G-Wagon.

So when the CEO of CRIS was indicted back in 2010, I don't remember anyone panicking. Is the upper management of 5 Dimes different Sam?

Cannot comment

May get another infraction from SBR Admin

[DroopyDog]

Horrible, and scary, I hope somehow this has a good ending.


As far as a run on the bank, fwiw, I received 100k bitcoin payout in under 24 hours 1st week of October.

[jjgold]

Sammy has no idea what he is talking about

He knows nobody in the industry

He could be hurt if he causes a run on the bank for no reason

Watch what you say men

[Sam Odom]

Sammy has no idea what he is talking about

Correct... an old man no one listens to

1st time around the block for him

[jjgold]

Vigs watch what you say

All everyone should be praying for is Tony's safety

[SharpAngles]

Wow. Tony and I had some colorful chats before he booted me from dimes but I’d never wish something like this on him.

Everyone is assuming some tico street gang is behind this but has anyone looked into possible connections to the book like a scorned player who got kicked out or maybe some desperate loser who lost his life savings? I hope the authorities are looking into every angle.

how could someone who lost everything be able to fund a kidnapping like this with co-conspirators and BMW's, etc. If I was looking into this, would probably look at the employee he was giving a ride to.

[pet2150]

I have been following this for awhile. I've actually talk to Tony from 5dimes. I hope everything works out.

[JIBBBY]

True that JIBBBY! In Cancun some little kid tried to give me a free bracelet and demanded to put it on my wrist with my watch on it. I knew what he was up to so I let him try and grab the bracelet and told him to get lost. Also, I was smashed coming out of some bar and some kid grabbed my lucky hat out of the bus window, ha ha.

Then, way back when we went there for spring break we went with a big group and couldn't fit us into the hotel so we got 2 huge villas in a gated private resort. Of course we pissed off everyone else so they tried to turn off our water several times and electricity to try to get us to leave but didn't work. My idiot friend bought some weed off a little kid on the main stretch, so we go back in the alley right next to our resort. Friend got paranoid climbed the gate to take it back to the villa and 20 seconds later the cops pull up to us with a paddy wagon and start searching us. I was scared shitless last thing I wanted to do was end up in a Mexican jail or give them my ************. Searched our entire body, smelled our thumbs and made us strip down to our underwear, that was a close one. Young and dumb and that didn't stop us, tried to buy some Larry and twice it ended up being smashed up Tylenol.

Also, a family of 4 with 2 young kids from around here and was close friends with a friend of mine. They rented a condo and died the first night there because they never serviced the heater and the family died of gas poisoning. So, I would like to go to Hawaii someday but I think that's the only place I trust off the mainland.

Yup, I use to travel alot mostly on surfing trips with friends.. I've got dozens of stories to tell with close calls in Mexico, South America and the Philippines. Dicey situations for me with friends in Panama and Costa Rica ironically enough.. Panama we got attacked at night walking and almost got sliced and jacked by a crazy local man wielding a big sharp machete demanding our money, the other time in Costa Rico, the locals were rioting because they wanted their roads fixed, I was in a cab and they blocked us and started throwing large rocks at the cab, mobs of people throwing rocks at cars.. We were basically getting stoned sitting in a cab car.. Car got destroyed, glass everywhere, and the cab driver almost ran people over getting us out of there.

I got a bunch of stories in deep Mexico to... Lucky to alive today to be honest... I was a traveler in my late 20's and 30's when I had the chance.. Was fun though, no regrets.. Wouldn't try all that today.. Times have gotten more dangerous in the places I went to years ago..

[kidcudi92]

Cartel connections? (NOT Tony)

Talking about whoever took him, BMWs in Costa Rica odd, is that odd or no?

Not sure why a Cartel connect would care/risk their operation for 1 million though, unless they believed they could get much more

[JIBBBY]

You'd have to kill me first before I let anyone kidnap me.. I wouldn't go quietly, they'd have to shoot me dead right there.. I wouldn't want to put my family through that..

I've seen all those kidnapping shows in the jungle or with Muslim radicals in Somali and other hot spots and they are all disturbing and horrific.. People can be held for months to. I hate it all!!!! Makes me mad....

BMWs in Costa Rica are as common as they are anywhere.

[Statman]

Hope everything ends on a good note for Tony and family.

5dimes has always been my favourite book.

[jjgold]

Excellent point never ever get in a car in a kidnapping situation let them kill you right outside
