Gambling, criminal influences surround popular South Florida youth football league
This seems like something that is more appropriate for Onion Sports. I can't believe this is actually real.

Listen I can tell you alot of that was filmed near where I work. 4 years ago I helped in an undercover operation at Lake Lytal Park in West Palm Beach. Our job was to try and negotiate a bet and then have a take down team make the physical arrest. Due to being white I was a UC cover, but it was very exciting and sad at the same time.
Besides the gambling the amount of drugs and alcohol at these kids games was out of hand.

It actually sounds kinda fun to me, I mean think about it, watching your son play Tee ball is kinda boring but if ya put a couple hundred bucks on it against one of the other dads of the other team its pretty exciting, throw in alot of alcohol and its like a day at the casino, this will get alot more fathers to spend time with their kids
HOLY FUCKIN SHIT TIMMY THOMPSON YOU BLIND ************ HOW DO YOU DROP THAT BALL!!!!
Sir, we're going to ask you to calm down this is a 5 yr olds baseball game

Tony from 5D once said, if there is interest, we'll hang a line on it. He knows the biz, if he doesn't, someone else will and that person will soon have his clients.
In theory, what's so different betting on this than other "non pro" sports.
Age? Its common to see high school games on the board, a mentioned the LLWS is offered and U17 soccer is as well. Same with junior hockey championship games.
Only reason its not bet heavier is because hard to determine a fair line and get a balance in action.
We bet on 12yo gymnist to win olympic gold, why not pee-wee sports leaugues

Quite a few books do. Basically anything on ESPN you will probably find a line for.

Yeah that was funny. He acted all innocent then when they show him the footage his face reaction changed.
Osbert Small is a coach in the league and was caught on hidden camera exchanging money with fans in the stands.

My only complaint is Coach Osbert has low limits on openers and will cut you off if you play correlated parlays

I was going to post a thread about that, saw the story on outside the lines.
You know the thing that got me? Forget about paying the star 8 year old running back 250 bucks for scoring a TD. If those gambling knee grows were any smart they'd just pay off the refs! Why pay a kid for trying when he's going to try anyway. Just pay off the pimple faced ref making 25 bucks per game.
