LOU...Was wondering if you could ask 5dimes something

Hey Lou,

Was hoping if you could ask 5dimes why they discontinued their high school football lines and if they could bring them back.

Thanks

Several mainstream media articles criticizing 5D for it is probably the reason.

I imagine it was unprofitable.

i thought the limits we 100 a game. prolly didnt lose much money on it..

I would imagine trying to maintain the integrity of high school sports would have something to do with it

Yeah right. Tony at 5 Dimes ditched HS football out of a love for the purity of the game.

Not him but there was probably pressure put on him to take them down or something

Someone squeezed a high school kid to shave points in PA

Yeah agree with that.

I guess Tony saw the heat around the issue and decided it was smart to back off for now.

5g teasers tho

[rm18]

yes you could get 100 dimes on a teaser easily on high school

[Sdotbold]

you could tease the high school games?

[excel]

5dimes investors weren't having it...even tony has a god

[rm18]

you could tease the high school games?

yes for 5k to any game on the board or with themselves

Anyone know any other books that might offer these lines?

[SBR Lou]

5Dimes management said there's not much to it - very little action was generated by those markets. The cost of labour alone made spreading them not worthwhile.

[BiGTonyHAHA]

high school football brings additional trouble which is not needed they get enough exposure from covers. forums. really? have lou ask him? why wouldnt you just go on chat yourself? unless hes your dad or something

I really believe that it is because of all the press they were getting.

Lou,you know any other books that offer.
