    If they are growing, why are they reducing their offerings? Does not add up.

    book has never followed through with many of the things they said they would add as far as options and upgrades.

    is that a good sign?

    Best customer service, best payouts. They have almost all options a gambler would need.

    Yes, payouts are fast but...you can only score $950 a wk MAX....and you can't get a MGGGGGGGGGGGG over $600.......and yes 1 free payout a month but for each additional is $50 each........so if you wanna bet big bucks and not worry about your bank clearing a ck..........what do you do?

    Unreal. Sometimes it feels that there is a spy drone jet over them. Anything different gets reported. Soon we will be seeing threads like

    Nick wasn't in today, should we be worried?

    It comes with the territory when you run a book and open yourself up to posting on a gambling forum, you gotta take the good with the bad...it's just the way it is. FYI...Betislands has paid me around 5k in the last 6 weeks, all p2p...but there does seem to be things going on with them that I'm not crazy about but do I feel safe to continue playing there??? Absolutely. How much would I trust leaving in Betislands(meaning everything going on with the DOJ and how financially secure the book is)??? I don't know.

    If they have good customer service and will pay you the day you request, you have nothing relevant to complain about. Go pick a book with shitty customer service and wait to get paid. Everything has pros and cons in life, nothing is perfect.

    If you want top notch customer service and same day payouts, play at betislands or rebatewager. If you want to deal with morons, be insulted, and wait to get paid,..play at other books. Of course I'm talking about US based gamblers.

    You are dealing with businesses operating in fukin costa rica. This isn't New York City. At any moment any of these books can rip off everyone at the drop of a hat. What are you going to do? Fly to Costa Rica and convince someone to pay you?

    That being said the most important thing is being able to get your money out the second you want it, betislands and rebatewager have proven to do that constantly, while giving you respect.

    They did move but not into their own office- They just moved out of Jazz office for what ever reason and in with M&M- who used shitty software so they asked to also use DGS-


    No one builds there own offices anymore- everyone shares space-clerks- etc

    much more cost efficient- you just have to be connected with a solid place or your rep can be tarnished-

    jon knows what he is doing.. he isn't dumb and doesn't offer markets or anything else his outfit can't handle ... on that note... look at their growth... its been what ? 6? 7 months? and they are completely off Jazz LInes and into their own Building...

    Jon treats everyone with respect on this forum.. even if you aren't one of his players.. I am happy as shit for him.. Next year.. I hope Betislands goes invite only...

    Anyone else getting sick of the changing of the website on a daily basis? No overnight baseball lines is such chicken shit for an outfit claiming to be making major improvements and upgrades. You want to be recognized as a top book asking for overnight lines is far from asking for the world. Seems like the actual site is moving more towards the Bovada's of the world

    Jon is expanding his business and doing well for himself. He is currently taking a new English course and going to learn something else new to end his statements with instead of saying "Cheers" it's a little played out.. I am looking forward in what he will be ending with instead of "Cheers"

    Seems like a book with no direction
    Very little work force
    not committed
    unorganized
    A recipe for disaster

    Book is just trying to cut their losses , high bonuses and not so good MLB season catch up to them . No overnight lines was the first sign . Taken away bonuses #2 . Book got beaten and at this point doesn't know on what they are doing . They are changing their own rules ON THE FLY . If you click " 20% rebate" ->"general rules apply" will take you to the old PROMO rules that they used to have for 100% freeplay bonus .
    Tells you this changes wasn't even planned .
    Last 4 weeks book is been trying to take away what ever they can .
    This morning after reading this thread
    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/sportsbook...e-program.html actually had to look outside and check the calendar .
    Look how stupid people are , bonuses are been taken away , overnights are gone but the idiots are cheering for 20% cash back losses .Some of them are saying it so good no roll over on rebate
    Well if you are planning to lose a lot this is your book . No wait rebatewager will give you 50% .
    I just can't believe on how stupid people are to fall for this shit.
    That's fine his "new and improved model" doesn't do to me anything . Book chose to deal with the a losers only . Whatever they wanna do .
    Eventually losers will run out of cash , deposits of $100-300 will not produce a volume to stay a float .
    And i am not talking about bad NFL season , one bad month of MLB put their back against the wall to make all this changes . Again that's fine any book can run in to the trouble . But the way this shmack comes out "Hi guys you know what we have improved" / f@@k you in the a@s tp make up our losses + we have the fastest payouts . Great!!!
    LOL> Can someone explain to me on what's the difference between 24H cashout and 36H , does $950 today instead of tomorrow makes a difference in your life ? At least 5 other established books will do 24H cashout.
    From what i see Book could of been straight, we gonna take away fallowing ONE

    reduced juice /10 cents lines
    Bonuses
    Overnights
    Instead book have chosen to take away everything , and at the same time to look cool .
    The way Jon is running his book is like an addict gambler would . Comes NFL season BI will be forced to offer 100% match bonus and if they don't do well ?
    Bookmaker , 5dimes , heritage and few others (even betphoenix)can withstand bad month -year .

    Jon and his take on overnight lines #106 .
    When i said "you are lost" I was kind of polite to you and did not call you a lier .

    Cheers. GL

    Know nothing about Betislands that they supposedly have a guy in Cali backing them- Been around long enough to know that if you are not hands on- "THE BACKER" can pull out when ever they want- seen it a million times-

    I would sit here and try to explain our business model that all of a sudden is so questioned when we stopped offering overnight lines.

    Basically what you are doing you are bashing Betislands because I stopped offering overnight lines which are easier to pick off , not because people are getting slow paid , or getting bad service this is regarding overnight lines.

    If you like overnight lines and they are a must , then Betislands is not the book for you if you can deal with no overnight lines and getting fast payouts and solid CS then we are the book for you.

    We offer MLB dimelines , same day payouts , checks in 3 days , good CS and I constantly try and offer new things for clients and now even the rebate is cause for stress.

    Point is guys no book is going to offer everything you want , you all know what we offer and we pay and we pay fast.

    Cheers and thank you for the best wishes!

    Jon

    I have never been treated better by a book. That means the world to me. I usually only take the 10 percent cash and they still have that. I don't care about overnight lines. I really don't care about the 20 percent cash back, but that is nice. I do like calling though and actually enjoy being treated like I am a person and not a number. I am not sure why people complain about a book they don't use. People bitch and moan about a book not having overnight lines when they don't even use the book. Thats like me making fun of french people and I have never been or live in france. If you don't like it just play somewhere else and stop complaining. I see 25 threads every day here about betislands not having overnight lines blah blah blah. Jon comes here and states his policy on it and i can respect that. People are saying well he is scared to post them or whatever or he might lose money. Well if I was running a buisness my goal would not be to lose money. If you feel you have an advantage somewhere else, go do it. You have every right to go somewhere else as he does change his policies.
