**Living The Dream** · 10-04-12, 03:23 PM

I just read this whole thread and can't believe this dude is stiffing a good book and bragging about it publicly... Are you kidding me?!?!?

**woodsy5822** · 10-04-12, 03:23 PM

yes sorry did mean play... if they do they do. i cant control that.. like i said they have always been good to me.. its just something small im willing to do to show i appreciate it.. There arent many books left why screw the ones that wont screw us...

True character is who you are and what you do when no one is watching.
You should have come clean before accepting money. Althoug you basically found $1,500 now you lost a good sports book and who knows what else may come. We value BI for their quick payouts and small book feel but mistakes like this will cause them to double check their procedures and services that we all are so appreciative of resulting in slowed payouts and increased procedures or policies. Is $1,500 worth your reputation, bad karma, and screwing over a good book. Send it back...maybe Jon will give you you a good bonus or take care of you at a later time when you may need it.

I hear ya, I just dont trust any of them after an "A+" book can just rip a player off so easily...I might actually have to try BI, I have only heard good things and Im def not going back to my old book.

**woodsy5822** · 10-04-12, 03:35 PM

yes totally agree with you. you do never know which ones will decide one day they dont want to pay you... if for some reason down the road BI did that then shame on me.. but i definately dont see them ever doing that... I would definately give them a shot if you are looking for a book... Nobody treats their customers better IMO

**mtneer1212** · 10-04-12, 03:38 PM

Jon is a classy guy. I dedicate this advice to him and the BetIslands crew............ Cheers!

For $1500, Astros is out of their lives.

They already made it back with the good publicity in this thread.

Btw, I would pay it back.

**romecloneout** · 10-04-12, 04:34 PM

not real...never happened...another drama thread put together by sbr...opus is probably behind this one again.

**spankie** · 10-04-12, 05:21 PM

Good work.

**jaeguyoon** · 10-04-12, 05:44 PM

My friend once bought an iPad from Microcenter, it was the new one, but the cashier accidentally scanned the wrong product (ipad 2 which the prices have been marked down). He came home and realized this, went back told the manager. Manager told him it's not his fault, and that their employees weren't doing their job and said he will have to have a talk with them.

Bottom line: it's not your fault that their employees can't do their freaking job right. They get paid to do one thing and if they can't do it either they need to be fired or face the consequences which is job not being done.

**Dark Horse** · 10-04-12, 06:12 PM

The guy had 1700 in account, bet and lost 700, and got paid 1500. That means he got a free 500. Not 1500. Jon just shrugs off that loss. Meanwhile, Astro thinks he got a deal, where in reality it was a test. A test of character. Twenty years from now nobody will remember. Except Astro. He won't be able to forget. From time to time the memory will make him cringe. He'll wish he had paid the stupid 500 back, but it will be too late. And, as he mentioned, what goes around does come around. Cheat and be cheated. That's how she flies.

**samgurt** · 10-04-12, 06:14 PM

Im sure bi would've given him a nice free play if he Woulda just returned the $

It's the stains on your conscience that don't come. For five hundred bucks? You gotta be kidding.

20 years from now Ill be remembering when I got ripped off by one of these books, and Ill be wishing I made off with some of their money instead! lol its all how you look at it...test of character lol gtfo these books dont give a rats ass about you...

**Dark Horse** · 10-04-12, 06:21 PM

I edited that. Jon is an honest guy. If you need to be told to not steal from an honest guy, there's something wrong with you. It means you can't be trusted. And that goes far beyond a sports book. Now, why anybody would want to advertise that here is beyond me. But he did.

You'll find some of the most trustworthy guys anywhere among gamblers. Not the low lives, but the stand up guys. That's the choice. Low life or stand up. You can't buy it. It is who you are.

**Dux90** · 10-04-12, 06:22 PM

yea i mean these books rip people off every day take advantage in every way possible, 1500 is not going to break them trust me they screwed someone out of that in the last 10 seconds, Karma is just a way people justify good or bad things happening to them its not some cosmic force that makes the world fair! Life is unfair we all bet we should know that

op said he had been stiffed many times by books...maybe he had enough

**wtt0315** · 10-04-12, 06:24 PM

He actually got 1500
He canceled the check and recieved 1000 via p2p and then got an extra 1500 via p2p

Yeah but if wal mart rips you off that doesnt mean you have the right to go to sears and steal stuff.
Trust me I got stiffed 10 k from a book, I get it but this book has done a lot of good here for a lot of people.

yea BI got the raw end of this deal...but the industry in general could care less about the player...even at "a+" books...im not saying I would have kept that money...but BI should have been more careful, just like players when they get ripped...

This was one of the most entertaining threads I've ever read! This is may take. Just the other day I contacted my sportsbook and informed that I made a mistake on my bet ticket. The game already started. They said "Sorry, your fault. You made a mistake." So this reputable sportsbook would not cancel the bet. Now we have a situation where the sportsbook made a mistake. Now why on gods green earth should they not pay for their mistake? Why don't they have better measures in place to prevent this? It's their fault, their mistake and their problem - period. Just like my bet was my mistake and my fault. As far as publicity goes this is bad publicity for that book because they do not have the proper procedures, employees, and methods in place to provide accurate payouts. That my friends is not something that I would want to advertise.

Every company in the world makes mistakes.

He owes them the money,it's the same as stealing IMO.

You can just imagine how it happened. They want to pay fast, so things got lost in the shuffle. If the book starts paying slower you know it's because of guys like Astro.

Agreed.

Betislands never wants to claim responsibility for any wrong doing.

Even the time they dropped my personal info to another SBR member. Fat Fuk Lou threatened me and told me it was my fault and I was trying to extort Betislands out of a freeplay when they asked me what they could do to resolve the issue.

Everything about BI and SBR relationship is a joke.

What goes around comes around.

Right. We should all be able to cancel bets after the game has started. How long have you been doing this anyway?

One is known as betting. There are rules for that.
The other is known as stealing. Different rules.
