    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
