So... if any noobs stumble across this thread in the future. Here are my takeaways:
1) SBR ratings have zero credibility. Apparently, Betislands was downgraded to a "no-play" & D rated at other sportsbetting sites more than 4 weeks ago.
2) Ask several more experienced players via PM for recommendations on books. ('course, I did this & still got hosed)
3) Play w/ a local, if you can.
4) Never keep more than 25% of your bankroll with one source.
Chivalry is dead. Nobody's saving the women & children. I'm taking it up the arse just like the big boys. Bernie Madoff'd. My bankroll is GONE.
Just in time for Christmas.
Happy Holidays.
