    Pros/Cons of BetIslands
    Getting offered bonus over there, what are some quick Pro/Cons

    I know they have late lines, and limited MLs.

    Pros free 1/2 pt?

    Free half-points
    Slow moving lines
    Good teasers
    Open parlays/teasers
    No slow-pays
    Works well with SBR

    Everyone should play here until they are tossed (like SIA).

      Pros are great CS, payouts, and promotions. Cons are late lines, options, and lack of moneylines. Overall a great book that everyone should take a look at!

          Their deposit/withdrawal options look really weak or am I missing something?

            Pros
            Best Customer service in industry
            Jon is best GM in industry
            You never have to worry about being paid, always same day. Easist process I have ever been through for a payout.
            If you have a problem, The CS can fix it or know what they are doing so you don't have to talk to 40 people.
            Slow moving lines, espically in soccer.
            If you like bonuses this is the place for you.
            Good teasers
            Half points

            Cons for me.
            Late posting lines and sometimes don't even post totals for soccer.
            Not a lot of options in other sports besides American
            Horses limits are the worst I have ever seen. Shouldn't even open the racebook.
            Low payout limits for p2p.

            Overall, This is my favorite book for all sports, but soccer. I will admit they get a lot of my action. I love being able to call in and not worrying if I am getting paid. I stay away from the racebook which sucks because I do like to play in the same place i play sports. I don't play in the casino. I did hit a royal flush there for 2000 last year and i have also lost 1000 in 30 minutes playing 1 dollar video poker so like most places stay out of it.

                I basically play there for 3-4 days once a month...so I can hammer them for that one free payout a month.

                  Betislands is the closest thing to a local.

                                Free half pt on all lines for SBR pros?

                                  You won't find a ML for any spreads greater than 11ish.
                                  Someone correct me but no huge parlays, maybe a 7 team limit...

                                      Its alright, will take time adjusting to if you are from the other big books.

                                      Don't like their rounding up on cents cause it always favors them.
                                      They are slow to post lines but half point is good, do remember its Wednesday to Friday 2-10pm I think and excludes key numbers(3/7)
                                      besides minor flaws, good book for American sports. Not a bad out as a second book
