    BetIslands vs 5Dimes

    On 5dimes now but pretty fed up with them and the site constantly having issues. Is BetIslands a good alternative? Anyone with a good first deposit promo?

    Any other suggestions? live in the U.S.

    5dimes
    obviously has been around longer and has a million wager options

    betislands
    payouts are the fastest in the industry, literally a few hours max
    won't have all the props and early lines you might want
    If you have a problem Jon solves it in a second and they have the best customer service possible

    Bookmaker / betdsi / heritage are all good US outs as well

    Betislands may have good withdrawal methods I'm not positive but 5D does just as well.

    What BI lacks is a good selection of bets, a $hitty rounding method on bets that cuts cents of win totals, and overall bad site design.

    5D sucks with it's downtime but just use the mirror sportbet and you will be able to bet using your 5D info.

    I am starting to get annoyed with 5dimes and their site mysteriously going down when it's halftime. I have a Betislands account and am considering funding it again. I am not happy with Heritage for reasons I will keep to myself.

    BET ISLANDS IS PRETTY GOOD THEY DO HAVE OVERNIGHTS NOW. -108 ON ALL GAMES AND TOTALS PLUS A GENEROUS BONUS PROGRAM.

    I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL AND RIGHT NOW I CANT FIND A REASON WHY YOU SHOULDNT GIVE BET ISLANDS A TRY

    I read they have overnights for major sports

    I don't see them for some reason when I log in

    Maybe they put them up when all the games finish for the night.

    these are all issues which originally ran me off before. I was hoping they would have rectified these by now.

    can anyone comment on BI's prices. I'd guess they'd be closer, in general, to heritage than 5d prices.

    site design at best dsi bothers me also, hard for me to look quick and realize who is playing who sometimes. i like 5dimes but they have too many technicial issues on the weekends for my liking. their lines are up very early which i love so i can bet in the morning before work.
