    if he had bodyguards the kidnappers bring 5 people instead of 3. 2 unsuspecting bodyguards won't ward off an ambush. you guys watch too many movies.

    All this bodyguard shit. He has been there 20 years. Only ex presidents and some billion $$ CEO's have bodyguards every day for 20 years.

    Anywhere south of the border is unsafe.

    As someone that has traveled to asia,central and south america, I can honestly say anywhere south of texas. I worked in some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the usa. Our ghettos are nothing like those in 3rd world countries.

    you are just flat out wrong. I will not re-post what I already wrote in the "5 dimes Tony Kidnapped thread" but feel free to go over and read it. Not sure why you are hanging out in Ghetto's but, I can assure you there are many beautiful and, safe places south of our border.

    5dimes is a well run sportsbook. We all hope for Tony's safe return.

    Terrible news.

    I’ve been with 5dimes for 20 years have always gotten paid. Have spoken to tony several times he’s always been fair.

    However, to say this isn’t at least a little bit troublesome would be silly.

    They’ll keep paying through football season but then what?

    Thankgod for Sbr and OSGA so we can be alarmed the minute somebody doesn’t get paid.

    I’ve always considered 5dimes to be as safe as a Bank.

    This makes me nervous.

    It’s never business as usual when the leader of the operation is absent.

    Thoughts and Prayers with Tony and his family.

    Unless 5dimes is not a profitable venture I don't see why things wouldn't continue as normal.
