Rupert, you are making the same mistake I did for awhile. I initially misread the FAQs. The $100 is simply the limit that they will guarantee full track odds. Above $100 5Dimes pays track odds UP TO 110-1 odds. But they have no limit on the 10%. If you bet $500 at 4-1 and win, you will collect $2750, not $2500.

Mis-reading that cost me a bunch of money. But even so, I wouldn't have made the complete switch to 5Dimes before they began taking action close to post time.
