    I hope nobody gets stiffed but the warning signs have been there like Derp posted. This was a forum book touted by a forum personality the whole time. Do you really think this small book took over operations for EZ a couple of weeks ago? After the original money for this book finally had enough Jon had to figure something out to keep the money coming in (Jon is not the money behind this book as he is just a marketing guy).

    I am guessing it went down something like this: Jon approaches EZ and works out a deal where EZ will back BI now that he needs funding. He sells him on the idea that BI has a stellar reputation in the industry for paying on time so the money should keep flowing in as they tell everyone BI is expanding operations and is buying out EZ. What does the EZ guy care because his name has been rung through the mud so he agrees since it is just a tiny forum lie (if things do go bad he can always claim it was BI that screwed up since they "own" him now). EZ doesn't tell any of his employees about this and thus that is the reason for the first few weeks that when BI customers call in with a problem nobody in CS has a clue who they are. If you really took over a book wouldn't your CS know your customer base in someway since he is supposedly paying the bills?

    Fast forward to now as most of the math/bonus guys have reached their rollovers. The money has quit flowing in and they can't pay it out. Time to up the free play bonus to 200% and tell them that it is an "Early Christmas" special. Jon knows that he can't keep posting that BI has never not paid someone because before his claim was that they paid everyone faster than anyone in the industry. In the last couple of weeks he keeps reminding everyone that even the top books have payout issues. WSEX never slowed anyone before their first case either.

    I hope I am wrong but this book has the makings of being toast.

    There's only a couple people here that think posting while drunk or attempting to act drunk is cool. You're really just embarrassing yourself, may not see it for a few years....but you'll see it at some point......if you never do....well that's really bad.

    Even though BI has pissed me off in the past sending my payout late and shorting me $200 without telling me before I got the payout information, this is getting kind of absurd. It's like, every time someone does not get a payout the same day, a new thread starts about how they are going to shut down any minute. One of the threads linked to in this thread was doing this same thing a year ago.

    One post says they can't pay because the squares all won, the next one says they can't pay because the sharps were on NE. It's a bunch of idle speculation from a lot of people looking to get back at them for poor customer service in the form of late payouts (which aren't even late by most book standards), short payouts, and rude clueless operators. I will say again it is unfathomably stupid of them not to take down the same day payout promise, or at least qualify it somehow until everything is straightened out, so BI did contribute a lot to this mass hysteria, even though I don't see too much basis in reality for it.

    Heritage and 5Dimes were making book while you were still sucking on your mama's tit junior. They have weathered the storms and come out on top year in and year out which puts them heads and shoulders above some Jonny come lately carpet bagger like BI who has been crashing on the couches of established shops trying to get something started and settles on a ditch pig like EZ because they're the only book with nothing to lose. If you can sit back and laugh it's because you have no real money there or you're stupid.

    With all due respect; Dark Horse, Hedge Hog, Dudley D....Really? HH for the longest time you said you didn't play at EZ anymore, now you've got 9K with them?!?!

    What bookie/owner/pr guy (Who really knows "honest" Jon's real position?) in his right mind would take 2 vacations within less than 1 month under these circumstances and leave no one in charge?!?!

    Why won't you address this issue? Doesn't this say it all? Your posts are delusional, like you think it's not real. THIS IS HAPPENING! All the evidence points to this simple fact but you refuse to acknowledge it. No SBR mods, no posting from BI or Jon, the crickets from Dudley's post is Betislands management.

    As has been pointed out by many posters, there is a world that exists outside of these forums. Consider yourselves lucky that you know what you know. If you lose your money you can only blame yourself now.

    A lot of people seem to be doing a lot of guessing here. And during all this supposition, you are ignoring the posters that have been getting paid. Why is it so difficult to see that an influx of two new book's customers would jam up p2p payouts ( that ARE limited in number by processors ), when other options are temporarily unavailable?

    No thread is complete without Raydog coming in and defending a book and their position. Can we all agree this thread is now just like every other "player v. Book" thread on SBR and move on to the next one? Which should be just like this one

    what was i siding with, kraken? sure, you like to get p2p same day if they advertise it, but because he has to wait a few days, its pretty shitty to start a thread saying you will never get paid and the book is going under...you want to wager on him getting his money and the book still being in business? i didnt think so...so shut the fukk up...im truly amazed at how fukking dumb posters here are and how they view the slightest hiccups...(krakhead, not tracer)

    trigger made a thread when he was pissed and thats understandable and this thread wont change my mind about liking him and knowing he is a good guy, but this is horrible speculation and completely misleading.

    "Called about my payout request from yesterday. After they hung up on me twice, they finally admitted that no money is going out today. Or probably ever. Dont be dumb like me and deposit there ever again. RIP BETISLANDS."

    i understand being upset that the same day payout for him is going to turn into a few days, but saying a book will never pay and is going under is pretty much one of the most irrational things ive read here...especially when people are getting paid...just might take an extra day or two so they dont fukk things up with their processors...why do you think they are bringing checks back? they are trying not to kill the processors they have now.

    It was the hang-ups that scared me. When a bill collector calls my crib, and I hang-up. Guess what. I'm hanging up because I don't got his money. If I was gonna pay him next week, I wouldn't hang-up. Just would tell him he has to wait til next week. Why hang-up? Twice? I assumed I was dead on my bread. And rightfully so.

    You seem to be ignoring the posters that aren't getting paid. Do you really believe that BI bought EZ and then took all their money and used it to pay only EZ customers in a timely fashion? I know you are going to say that EZ has nobody betting with them that reads the forum which is all the more reason to stall them and pay the BI people. I still don't think BI is calling the shots because they were not the money behind it. This was a marketing ploy to get an influx of cash utilizing the once good reputation of BI.
