I always heard he was an a**hole. Never had any dealings with him myself and never had any problems with 5Dimes.

I have never had a problem with 5dimes in 15 years.

But in all seriousness this doesn't sound good. Really might have to consider taking my money out now.

If the guy is missing, who the fu k is running the book?

If he's missing, wouldn't you expect the money to be missing as well?

It figures it would happen after two straight big winning weeks for me.

Get your money out NOW!!

if he’s found you can always reload but I’m telling you, this could go sideways fast 

Don’t hesitate, get your money ASAP

This happened 18 days ago and no word yet of them not paying. But I’ll err on the side of caution and pull most out.

Smart

There are too many books out there & this may end bad, hate to see you guys lose all your money

You can always go back if things work out

It’s a strange deal but better to be safe than sorry

I’ll report back here how the withdraw goes. 

I have a trip there over Presidents’ Day weekend to the Four Seasons. Never been to CR before but I assume it’s a safe place?  Especially on a nice resort?

Ask ticoJoe

There have been a few Americans  killed recently but that happens in our cities also

I hear it’s not like it was 10 years ago as far as safety but that’s just reading stuff online , I don’t even go to Mexico anymore 

I stay in the motherland

Word Brother ....

From what ive heard , you're just gambling with your life in costa rica 

Have some friends in Puerto limon , they told me not to come down 5 + years ago .... told me Americanos are easy targets ,.....

Not sure mexico is any better .,,,,


Maybe im just cautious , but whatever

I live chat him here or there and he tells me he wishes me death and im a big fat loser lol



what do I do , go to Costa Rica?????????? millions of stories on here about him

Sounds like Karma got him ....

Or maybe he set this up.   


Eventually he might have stiffed the wrong person. ..

"Tony", William Creighton, is the GM of 5Dimes. He is only the "owner" for marketing purposes. A wealthy Costa Rican woman owns the joint.

Gentlemen, if you are interested in good people running a book, I am friends/neighbours with a women who is living with one of the high ups in Pinnacle Sports. He used to work out of Curacao but the long distance love was not working. Good guy and I know the people around them.....my wife and I get together with them socially a few times a year. Very solid people. He resides in Canada now.

Not sure if they are available to Americans and if it is a good book by reputation, but this seems to be a good thing I would think> https://www.pinnacle.com/en/promotions/arbitrage-friendly

Proving is hard. Talk is easy.

In the last two weeks I got a 6000 VIP check from them and a 3000 fed ex check from them, no problems.

The Four Seasons is in Liberia, Guanacaste your book is in San Jose, Sabana Sur next to the Am / Pm.......you will not have any problems ever in Costa Rica unless your an asshole....it's one of the safest if not safest places I ever lived....there is a reason everyone you see on the streets say Pura Vida.....I doubt you'll have any problems collecting you can't stay in business that long if you don't pay.......like I said earlier if you need a book I can put you in touch with someone that can set you up while your there. You need to land in San Jose or SJO airport your way far from all the action. Where your staying is all Tourist and top Vacation spot......
