How much did Betislands steal from you?

[JohnGalt2341]

Havent read alot of the happenings but is there something Im missing that makes it official there gone or whatnot?

I would like an answer to this as well.

[mw00]

i was sweating a few hundred balance which i eventually lost..cant imagine 4 figures much less 5 figures. that would drive me crazy and depressed at same time. i just hate these kinda situations cause when it ends, we have no legal backing whatsoever.

[Smoke]

Yea i got 40k in there


Going to FBI now

[bubba]

sorry man....what made you trust them if they were jerking you around before on payouts? Do their limits even allow huge bets?

MY BALANCE WAS already high by the time they started jerking me around. jon called me on the phone, gave me his hurricane excuse and told me to keep it between us (not to post it in forum). i trusted him. they paid me a large amount last year, no problem. i dont pray but i am praying i get my money.

[CanuckG]

Everyone calm down and listen to this.

[JasonDC]

I have $6,521 sitting in there at the moment..occasionally i log on to look at it lol..bad timing for me to lose this money..im not rich by any means.

[tarheelfan72]

A little over 3K. The thing is, I have never really won much, and I rarely bet over $150 on a spread or total. But I am up over $1K 15 weeks into the football season, when I'm usually down that much or more. And if a square like me is up, it makes me wonder if BI just didn't have enough backing to make it through a season that has been friendly to the public and they decided to give up and run. With the type of player they cater to, I would imagine that their books are not very balanced on most games, i.e. most of their players are on one side or the other, so they're not just collecting juice. Maybe they were so dumb they didn't hedge and wound up broke.

The whole time i was worried it was a financial issue rather than a processor issue.

You're a bitch.

[Cicima6709]

I'm prob in the 8k range. Still not convinced our money is gone, but this def. isn't fun to deal with.

Maybe you can give me a reason to feel optimistic..but i cant think of any reason..the general manager Jon Kreta is no longer with BI..Ryan was lying to everyone tonight via chat acting as if Jon was still in charge. I cant think of any reason to feel as if i will get paid.

Don't fee too bad. BetIslands is still a C shop on SBR ratings afterall!

Exactly, why should i feel bad..we are now told the GM is no longer with the company..the CS reps have been lying to us repeatedly, cant get any money, they get downgraded to a C at sbr..things are looking great..im sure my 6k+ is on it's way to me any day now..i think i can hear the fedex truck pulling up to my house now.

Only reason for any optimism is what SBR_John and Bill Dozer say in this thread:

I pray these deep pocketed backers do exist and BI can turn the corner.

!If Jon is gone this is bad news makes me sick to my stomach!

[mw00]

classic loser in life asshole that takes enjoyment in other people's bad luck to make him feel better. i guess the saying's true...misery loves company.

[JasonDC]

I dont give a fukk if Jon is gone..im concerned with my money being gone..Jon's multiple vacations during football season was a huge sign to anyone who was willing to see it that things were not right there..not surprised a bit he is gone. The question remains is if betislands is gone.

[paco]

Hard to believe this shit is happening here. Unreal

[The Kraken]

KG, I agree. At this point I feel like its 50/50 as to whether we get paid. Just gotta wait and see.

Who is that?

[Killer_Demo]

Who is that?

u dont wanna know

[ThaTopMoron]

was i the only one who never wanted to join in and believe the hype of BetIslands when it first started???

[TheLock]

Brutal to hear guys getting stiffed for 5 figures. That's a lot of coin. Especially around the holidays.

Hoping for a miracle for you guys.

[spankie]

ole Jon is the Grinch of Christmas.

[tatommack]

Im sorry if i missed the sbr response about this but have they said anything? They recommended this book when the Greek shut down.

[VegasInsider]

I feel very sorry for some of those members that are getting stiffed, however...

If you're taking withdrawals and getting P2P's to pay your bills, why the fukk are you keeping 40K+ in an offshore gambling account that can very easily be stolen with no legal recourse?!?! Smarten the fukk up.

If you wanna be a professional gambler and pay your bills with winnings....then move to Vegas.

I feel bad, but for some people, I dont.
