    Cant believe anyone plays there to be honest. Havent even been around for a full football season. The only reason peope play there is the fast payouts, the only reason there's fast payouts is because they dont have 5% of the members that 5dimes has.

    Don't play at Mickey Mouse book operations. I would only play at Pinny or Bookmaker right now. All others are not financially viable and can fold at anytime without notice from not being able to pay the customers.

    Should not be scared however if you play five figures a game stick with Bookmaker or Greek. Personally think this is a great book for an average player who bets a couple hundred or less on games.

    Considering their payout limits, the likelihood of Clippers busting the rest of his balance while waiting is pretty high. Did you see the way the guy bets ? Very aggressive, and a bunch of big chalk moneylines. That style is conducive to going up in flames fast, or turning 800 into 28,000

    Personally, there are very, very few books I play at and no offense to SBR but I don't care if they are a paying premium sponsor. One book I do trust is BetJamaica. I have been playing there for four years and I can honestly say I have not one single bad thing to say about them, not one. I got robbed of my money at Matchbook and if I'm not mistaken they used to be a sponsor here at SBR. So as far an new online shops go, I just wouldn't touch them.

    I've had good treatment at Carib and 5Dimes, both stand up. You never know whos behind, or whos backing these new books, what they are doing with your personal info. I worry more about that than I do about getting paid.

    that was directed at your statement about not playing there because youll bury them and they may not pay you.

    The website is not always down and I am on there often. If it is down, it takes you to the backup site. They give good bonuses since the rollover isn't a pushover.

    A guy wins there so you are scared?

    you can play there, obviously having all of your money in 1 sportsbook is never the best idea in the current market conditions

    BI keeps cold calling me.

    I got news for BI or any other offshore book.
    One way not to get my business is to cold call me.

    The book is relatively new but the face of it, Jon, is not and I'll trust him with my money before several others in this industry, regardless of time in the market; he has always treated me or for that matter any other BI customer I have seen on here will the upmost respect and honesty.

    As for $28k, get out of here with that burying a book, that doesn't even put a dent in a solid shop.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with Bet Islands. The website has never been down for me and mobile site always works. I've always been paid within two hours of asking for a withdrawal and the CS is always top notch.

    A book wouldn't be covered P2P fees for 95% of clients if they couldn't afford it. I don't think 28K is going to break them. I also doubt that this guy withdrew all 28K

    that is just for the 100 percent bonus, they have other bonuses too that you can get. they have a 30 percent one that has a 4 times roll over. they also had a 10/15 one where you get 10 percent free cash, 15 percent free play with 1/2 point free on each line(unless its 7, then they don').
    you just have to ask them, what other bonuses you have besides the 100 percent one they have a 50 and 30 percent and the 10/15 one.

    he doesnt...unless he is lucky enough to have a local who clones their lines for his pph...

    i dunno about jons pockets, but their is supposed to be some big money behind them and they appear to be handling business the right way so far...only time will tell if they survive and nobody really knows...all speculation and opinions need to be seen as just that..speculation and opinion.
