      Not the first time this has happened. Many of us have been on the wrong side of this type of thing a few times. And for significant money. I learned a while ago to never, ever count money posted up at a book as my money until its in my pocket.

      Betislands handled this horribly and even if everyone got paid tomorrow, their word cant be trusted.

      But I do have one question. Is Dudley Dawson officially done at SBR? He shilled so hard for these shit bags, has he even responded? I've been at work all say and am not reading the last 450 posts to find out.

We also hope they jump back in gear tomorrow and have a plan to update their users with.

                Unreal.... I posted on post #1367 that they should lower from B to C and they already had done that 4 minutes ago. Guess I should have checked but wow.

                You all like to bash SBR and this and that, but there is no other forum that compares to SBR and until there is SBR has my respect. No need for an SBR post when they made the downgrade statement. That says it all.

                    Looks like I owe an apology to RealSlim
                    Earlier in this thread I said it was over-reacting(which it usually is) and while this is yet to finally play out...the writing is on the wall.

                    I reserve the right to smack RealSlim if this is overblown though...

                    My apologies RealSlim

                      yes, but they knew what was going on last week when the problems started and they did nothing. I am pretty sure a lot of people deposited last week and that could of been stopped. They should of been proactive and no reactive to everyones comments to downgrade.

                                  Don't give SBR any good guy awards just yet.

                                  If sweeper and tracer knew bet islands was crumbling you have to think SBR knew.

                                        Nothing to apologize for.

                                        I just thought that their actions(or lack of), plus excuses made it seem like a book in trouble. At that point, I said a balance there was worth about 25c on the dollar. In my mind, there was about a 75% chance they would go out of business.

                                              Wonder if my NFC to win the super bowl play will be paid? Fuking scary shit here boys......... If i dont get paid somehow,( I dont care if bill Dozier and SBR John) Send me my money. I will not be reupping my Pro application. Actually they should be here now for the Pros, Even if its only to chat back and forth with the people that have questions, Someone should be interating with the Pros from SBR. Being a Pro entitles us to think SBR has our backs, especially since they get a % of deposits or losses however it goes. Nice job here to both BI and SBR, but i honestly think 1 is dead(BI) and SBR wont be far behind, actually SBR may not die, but there wont be to many Pros after this shit.............

                                                Because everyone @ betislands lies.. and they simply do not have funds to pay all of us... and now Jon is not there anymore, who are csr reps will be talking with regarding on the payouts?? NOBODY. Ryan told me he will be in the office tomorrow morning @ 9am est to pick up the phone.. but i have feeling nobody will pick up their phone tomorrow morning.

                                                  You are correct. Tomorrow = Today. No reason to think there will be any progress

                                                    Damn this is unreal.

                                                    Once again SBR caught desperate for advertisement money so much so that they're willing to let their members take it in the ass and lose thousands.

                                                    Not a good look

                                                              I just thought that their actions(or lack of), plus excuses made it seem like a book in trouble. At that point, I said a balance there was worth about 25c on the dollar. In my mind, there was about a 75% chance they would go out of business.
                                                              Cheers!

                                                                    Once again SBR caught desperate for advertisement money so much so that they're willing to let their members take it in the ass and lose thousands.

                                                                    Not a good look

                                                                    I've been as critical at SBR and John at times as anyone but I think you're slightly out of line, Payton. Up until this incident, BI had paid the bills and deserved the B rating they were given. They told everyone and SBR that payments would go out today and given their track record were given the benefit of the doubt. And they lied. Yes, lied. They knew the payments weren't going out today.

                                                                    However upon learning they didn't pay, SBR swiftly took down their banner and downgraded them. What else can SBR do?

                                                                    I think SBR has done fine here. As for their absence in this thread, it seems they're as in the dark as the rest of us and thats understandable. SBR isn't the problem. Betislands is the problem. Keep perspective here.

Hopefully will wake up tommorow and this was a bad dream, but instead i will probably dream of spankies cat and wake up tommorow to the same ole shit. Hopefully sbr will figure out a way to make someone pay something but we will see.
