C,mon Bubba man. I see we both been around awhile and done more listening and readin' than postin.' It wasn't always this bad. In fact it was pretty good for awhile. Then came UIGEA and all of a sudden there was more shit on the road. Lost neteller, Pinnacle, the The Greek pulled out and then Bet Jam. Pretty soon peeps were navigating a real shit highway to try and make a buck, not that the shit wasn't there before but now there was more.

Sometimes folks just didn't stay as clean as they might have done before. Read it again Bubba, not as clean as they were before. Human nature and the need to make a buck. As The Stones said "Got to scrape the shit right off your shoes". Just harder to do that these days pal.

at least the banner is down for now. doesnt make me feel any better about the 50k i am owed

so why did they take down the banner now when SBR John said we will be paid tomorrow?? SBR obviously knows for fact that we won't see any money. SBR, you guys are joke!! sorry ass place!

john never said anyone would be paid tomorrow. he said that betislands said people would be paid tomorrow. big difference when betislands has told quite a few lies lately...

I don't think it's any secret that that 90% of BI's players came from SBR, so SBR could definitely cause a run on the book.

That's further evidence that it wouldn't fair.

First of all, what % of SBR bettors win? 6? 8?

Trust me, I've read this board. I've seent the BTP standings. Not exactly murderer's row here. So, the small percentage of winners here, couldn't possibly put a run on any book with decent footing.

CollegePro · 12-17-12, 10:35 PM

shit.. I am going to call 1 v i c e tomorrow and ask griffin to bail me out.... my only chance!! since I only have small amount.

its dammed if you do, dammed if you dont. they may just be taking down the banner because it should have been down a long time ago. and should be back up when they are paying again, be that tomorrow or whenever. if the checks went out today (like betisalnds told me) and checks are recieved by people this week, things can look positive very quickly. betislands will never be forgiven for there customer service blunders/lying these past few weeks but maybe they will pay out again and can get there banner up. or maybe they are a scam, i dont know! thats why i want words from sbr on this.

Where is Dudley?

sourtwist · 12-17-12, 10:38 PM

im happy i stopped and left for heritage two months ago

Frogger · 12-17-12, 10:38 PM

Maybe I'm remembering this wrong, but I really felt like SBR handled the Lenny/Cascade situation really well. Lowered the rating over and over, so we knew something was up, even while some were getting slow paid all the while.

Not even lowing BetIslands to a "C" at this point is really wrong. We all know it will be "F-" in the end, but need a drop so we can have faith in SBR.

Otherwise, no.

Was/Is Dudley a big BetIslands guy?

I've seen references to him and BI a few times now.

darkhat · 12-17-12, 10:42 PM

Guess SBR is gonna start clipping them

ttrace35 · 12-17-12, 10:42 PM

Why won't SBR respond? Seems fishy

cheddar327 · 12-17-12, 10:44 PM

we're fuked.....i got over $4k with them. two weeks ago they sent me a max payout p2p. last week i requested a payout and was told that i would receive it today. also requested a check payout for $3k last week but funds are still in my account.

Derp,

A picture is worth a thousand words.

You see Jon's pic?

I have not, but if Jon is a "known coke head" this is the first I'm hearing about it after weeks of endless BI threads. One thing I do know is that there is no way he made off with 1 million dollars. Processing is everything with these books, it would be the #1 reason for Jon to make a deal with EZ. If you're looking for your money I'd start there.

spankie · 12-17-12, 10:45 PM

Starting to think the end of the Mayan calendar was predicting the end of Betislands.

Was a good run, I wonder how much coke & cash Jon/sslp has stashed away in his Costa Rican penthouse.

wtt0315 · 12-17-12, 10:46 PM

little late to the party

BetIslands was supposed to give us an update on their payouts Thursday and then asked for Monday. They haven't updated players or SBR. SBRforum took the banner above down. SportsbookReview has moved them from B to C. For those looking for Jon, he is no longer with BI. We are hoping mgt realizes that when there is an issue, they can't wait it out and hope for the best. We also hope they jump back in gear tomorrow and have a plan to update their users with.

Too bad it happened to you, Tracer.
You're a street smart guy who knew trouble was brewing right away and got bashed for posting it.....

I don't believe he ran off with a million dollars either.

I believe the guys in charge spent the money similar to Lederer and Ferguson in the full tilt scam.
