    Lol don't get your hopes up. They don't give a fk. This is an affiliate scam. Nothing more nothing less. Sbr is running a business, they're here for you to click their banners, get a percentage of player losses, and provide you with sbr points so that they get traffic driven to this website. All they know is what books are complete dogshit after everything goes down with a book and the potential new books those former highly promoted crooks might be behind in the future . Cascade/wsex are F rated. Gee thanks sbr, only took players losing over 5+ million for them to come up with that super awesome rating.

    They promoted Cascade to an A, Lenny ran off with over 5 million. WSEX A+, Jay Cohen (the Jon forum personality here before Jon) close to a million if not over that. Jazz brands B rated (who all the sbr powers that be claimed had no affiliation with betislands that Rickysteve called out as bs from the get go), close to a million. As far as I know, sbr hasn't compensated a single player, nor have any of their personal efforts gotten players paid from these broke book lowlifes. Playing at these books due to the recommendation rating sbr put out and trusting the people running this site who collect affiliate money is everybody's own fault.

    Here's a little tid bit on betislands from another forum tha sbr swept under the rug

    "The BetIslands rating is a joke and more or less fraud. The book is paying well because of partnership now with SBR, who still only rates them a B but gives them a banner doesn't comment on them much but allows their forum to be infested with BetIsland shills. The real deal behind that book is Jon essentially doesn't exist. Jon formerly used the name Nick and managed two different shops SBR has rated D-. He then became Jon when moving to WagerChief brand and SBR helped build him up. When he lost that position he continued the sell and took over BetIslands.

    SBR pulled a stunt. BetIslands was rated D with other Jazz sites. With it being an unknown tiny book, they just deleted all reference of it for a few months. Then they initiated them at C- on March 22, 2011. The forum shills started with a bad group but Jon is the man and kept repeating it.

    It took less than 8 months to go from C- to B.

    11/03/2011 06:57 PM CST
    BetIslands upgraded from B- to B
    08/04/2011 03:05 PM CST
    BetIslands upgraded from C+ to B-
    06/21/2011 12:26 PM CST
    BetIslands upgraded from C to C+
    05/17/2011 08:00 PM CST
    BetIslands upgraded from C- to C
    03/22/2011 06:21 PM CST
    BetIslands - SBR initiates rating coverage at C-

    SBR would have a tough time selling this book so the ghost just do it. Granted while Jon has been there everything has been fine, but this was just a take over a dead brand and was the continuation of the fabricated Jon character SBR helped sell when he was with WagerChief"

          And to let this thread spin out of control like this, without so much as a single explanation beyond "we checking in on it" is bad management.

          I'm not sure who is directing who here, but it's bad direction. If nothing else, put the rumors to death, explain what is known at this time, and help your customers.
          great post

          i never deposited there thankfully, but tons of good people did and its just not right for SBR to have its mouth taped shut!

          and dropping rating to a "C" doesnt count for all ur customers u pointed in BI direction either

            From Bangthebook sportsbook review site Nov. 11 2012

            BetIslands was established in San Jose, Costa Rica in 1998, However after a series of DOS attacks, lost processing capabilities we have determined that Bet Islands can no longer payout individuals and we suggest checking out one of the Top Sportsbooks for 2012 that we have reviewed and tested!

                  but Jon told Zeta, that those "SSLP" tattoo pictures were NOT him

I know im wasting my time. I know im not getting paid and would be better off just to chalk it up as a loss..but im having a hard time mentally letting go of over 6k with no answers.

                                      I hear you. Nothing to lose at this point, so I won't knock anything at this point. I had built up to about $4200 over the season. Started with $1000. I am right there with you. It sucks. I thought the site would simply be down today.

Sbr is running a business, they're here for you to click their banners, get a percentage of player losses, and provide you with sbr points so that they get traffic driven to this website. All they know is what books are complete dogshit after everything goes down with a book and the potential new books those former highly promoted crooks might be behind in the future . Cascade/wsex are F rated. Gee thanks sbr, only took players losing over 5+ million for them to come up with that super awesome rating.

                                                  They promoted Cascade to an A, Lenny ran off with over 5 million. WSEX A+, Jay Cohen (the Jon forum personality here before Jon) close to a million if not over that. Jazz brands B rated (who all the sbr powers that be claimed had no affiliation with betislands that Rickysteve called out as bs from the get go), close to a million. As far as I know, sbr hasn't compensated a single player, nor have any of their personal efforts gotten players paid from these broke book lowlifes. Playing at these books due to the recommendation rating sbr put out and trusting the people running this site who collect affiliate money is everybody's own fault.

                                                  Here's a little tid bit on betislands from another forum tha sbr swept under the rug

                                                  "The BetIslands rating is a joke and more or less fraud. The book is paying well because of partnership now with SBR, who still only rates them a B but gives them a banner doesn't comment on them much but allows their forum to be infested with BetIsland shills. The real deal behind that book is Jon essentially doesn't exist. Jon formerly used the name Nick and managed two different shops SBR has rated D-. He then became Jon when moving to WagerChief brand and SBR helped build him up. When he lost that position he continued the sell and took over BetIslands.

                                                  SBR pulled a stunt. BetIslands was rated D with other Jazz sites. With it being an unknown tiny book, they just deleted all reference of it for a few months. Then they initiated them at C- on March 22, 2011. The forum shills started with a bad group but Jon is the man and kept repeating it.

                                                  It took less than 8 months to go from C- to B.

                                                  BetIslands - SBR initiates rating coverage at C-

                                                  SBR would have a tough time selling this book so the ghost just do it. Granted while Jon has been there everything has been fine, but this was just a take over a dead brand and was the continuation of the fabricated Jon character SBR helped sell when he was with WagerChief"


                                                  Kreta stole all of your money and has the balls to change the site layout this morning.....Rossi isn't the innocent moron he seems like either.

                                                    they were blacklisted 11/11 and given pretty terrible ratings before that

                                                        I wouldn't have been surprised if the site was down today or nobody answered the phones..it looks like Ryan, Kelly, and Ben are all there today..maybe they are hoping to get enough deposits from unsuspecting customers to pay their salary.
