youwager is so awesome for a costa rica book. never understood the bashing and low rating they have gotten here over the years.

Let's assume they have lost money this football season (good assumption IMO). Why would that keep them from wiring money to small time bettors who are taking tiny withdrawals of under $1,000? It doesn't make any sense. They obviously have processor issues. They've seriously hurt their reputation by continously making promises they can't keep.

Do they have enough money to cover all customer balances? I don't know. But that has nothing to do with whether or not they can send out a god damn ** payment.

Calm down people. There's definite reason to worry, but let's not push the panic button just yet.

Is my heritage account safe starting to be weary about all books now!

If BI goes belly up make a claim with the real owner EZstreetsports. Over at the R x there are no payout complaints about Ez which means that 1) No one plays there, which is likely. 2) The forum mods delete negative ez posts, which is likely. OR 3) They are paying EZ players first and stalling BI players by putting them at the end of the que. After all if you were a scumbag owner, like ez is, it would make sense to throw Jon, his reputation and players to the wolves so that they could pay their own players WITH YOUR MONEY!!!

Odds that Jon is no longer in charge or has been fired: -10000

they have no processor problems and all their staff besides ryan are now gone

anyone thinking sbr will help if the money is gone is completely naive.

like your friend suggesting his dentist, guy pulls the wrong tooth and you want the tooth put back in by your friend - AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN

I don't have any logos up top, just the list of 'Recommended Books,' which I remember Betislands being on for a spell awhile back, but then were removed. I think around the time they had a lot of technical issues and had to keep giving out backup websites. They also were removed from SBROdds awhile back as well.

he was never in charge, Mearly a front and a former poster named sslp

jon was gone a long time ago. Ryan is the only one working tonight there is a reason.

I think it's another guy using Ryan's name

he changes names often so he can donate to charity anonymously and take no credit.

**wtt0315** · 12-17-12, 08:39 PM

yes they were given options today and most are done.. There are a few left but not many.
i sent sbr all this info but i guess they dont care because they still get 20 percent from deposits.

Cmon, not time to panic yet? I would take $.25 on the dollar right now for what I am owed. The chances of everything working out at BI now are small. Jon is obviously not with them anymore, the writing is on the wall. Who would stay with them anyway at this point if they did pay?

Translation. there is serious reason to worry and BETISLANDS is a SHAM deposit steal the post up money ONLY!

STay far far far away.... ovbviously.

**JasonDC** · 12-17-12, 08:43 PM

I talked to 'Ryan' in chat and asked him to tell me honestly, no BS, if he thought there was a chance that nobody would get paid..all he said was that he has known Jon for 4 years and he didn't think Jon would do that to him..last week he would have acted completely different..he would have been quick to say it was only a processor issue and things would be back to normal quickly. I had a bad feeling this would happen and yet i cant believe this is fukcing happening.

**SplitAces** · 12-17-12, 08:47 PM

They have no processor issues. Why can you not get it. If they have 100 players all wanting $975 waiting that is why they can not pay. They have not done checks for 4-5 weeks so no one is getting any real money out. WTF is so hard to understand KGambler. They have U.S reps and U.S principles who could very easily pick up money orders(in one day) and pay if this was a processor issue and if they were committed and really wanted to get things right.
Not to be rude but you do not get it. Obviously they have no money and are either trying to buy time to get some or just total screwing everyone and gonna let this thing just die out.

No surprises. You wanna make money pay a site like SBR to promote you give people decent service build up a client base and then pull a fast one and run off into the sunset with everyone's money. EZ game.

Obviously I wouldn't deposit at this time.

What I am saying is that people shouldn't be acting like their balances are definitely worthless, or that even if they begin paying they are done...

If anyone has inside info, I would love to hear it. I am not looking to bury my head in the sand.

**darkhat** · 12-17-12, 08:51 PM

**wtt0315** · 12-17-12, 08:53 PM

ok guys i am going put this out there because i am so upset. I just lost quite a bit of money. I am not going mention names as i promised to protect his identity. Believe me or not i dont care but as you know i am a huge supporter of this book and have no reason to lie. I got a call tonight telling me basically noone is getting paid. Basically jon or sslp as some of you know him (yes thats him) was never in charge but merely a marketing person or a front man for this book. He was also stealing money off the top. They have some big sharp betters that jon was getting percentages or deposits also. Jon lost his financial backing a few weeks ago and was scrambling to get new one but never could. I guess thats when he decided to get as many deposits as he could and skip town and go into hiding which is why you dont see him anymore. As most know he is a cocaine addict. A manager at betislands today which is not hard to figure out who told everyone they could leave or work for free for now on and they were suppose to try to take dpeosits and keep telling people they are having processor issues and delaying payouts. A lot of the staff did not want to do this so they left. Sbr knew about this a week or so ago but didnt want to comment until they could find out legal info, but i think because they were still getting that 20 percent bonus from our deposits. I am sorry sbr but i am pissed at hell at you and you should be ashamed. Anyways, There processors had over a million dollars and its all gone with jon. the processors cant pay out anything without jons approval anyway which they cant get because he isnt there. Ryan is basically covering for jon. He doesnt talk to him he is just saying this over and over. He told me they might pay out a very small amount but dont hold your breath. He said they did pay out 3 or 4 people last week but that was it. I dont know what else to say guys but i am sorry for everyone that had money there. I hope a miracle comes and we all get paid but its not going happen i am afraid. I feel like an complete idiot because i always backed this book 100 percent.
