An apology to all Betislands players

[cloverfield]

I left for personal reasons weeks ago . The backing pulled out due to legal issues.

Some of you can call me a thief a fraud I was the GM for the company not the banker nor the financial decision maker. If the book at a time was performing correctly how can you blame the PR guy to speak good of the company?

Like I said I am hoping this situation will raise awareness in some of the larger books and will come in to help the players out , I knew this post would bring me nothing but hostility but like I said after my posting on the forum It was the least I could do.

You posted that everything was fine on 12-7-12

I linked it above..

How did you leave WEEKS ago Jon?????????????
Jon Jon Jon Jon Jon.....shame shame

[cutter2225]

Will posting here help you sleep better now Jon? Posting that you left weeks ago and have been wanting to for months clearly shows you knew the shit pile BetIslands was in. To bad you weren't man enough to step up earlier and save some people some coin, but why do that when you could line your pockets a little more with stolen funds. This post by you also shines a huge light on SBR's involvement in the cover up because no way they didn't know this was going on. So in conclusion...Well done BetIslands, Jon & SBR on a complete rim job.

[bostonboss]

you are a thief and a scumbag u deserve everything u get.

[Frogger]

A real man admits when he does wrong and comes with the truth. I'm sure he only wanted to get out for months because things starting taking a financial turn for the worst. If he was making tons of money and the company looked bright I highly doubt he would have wanted to get out.

That being said ... I've NEVER been a BI fanboy but this post does make me respect Jon more, and everyone should remember this situation is bad for everyone. Bad for the industry as a whole, SBR, Bet Islands, Jon, and most important above everything else ... the customers who lost money in this sad sad sicking gross situation.

We need to all come together and try to make it so this doesn't happen ever again. There is nothing left to do.

so on november 11th, 2012 when it was announced at bangthebook that betislands had no funds available, you were still working there and thought everything was ok? and on december 6th, 2012 when you were telling people they would be paid (and betislands was still collecting deposits but not paying anyone), you actually believed that people would be paid the next day?

This is not an easy post to make but I feel it is the least I can do for players and to the forum community.

It has been weeks since I left my position as the GM for Betislands and after reading what the situation is right now I would like to provide clarification , since I was the one who talked up Betislands and believed in it more than anyone else did .During my time at Betislands I can sincerly say I always did my best for every single client always trying to get players paid and most of the time siding with the players. And for almost 2 years those things were accomplished.

The financial backing pulled out unexpectedly this is a verifiable fact from SBR and anyone in the sportsbook industry in Costa Rica. I am not the banker nor the money behind Betislands I was the General Manager in several aspects of the company including Public Relations but I was not the founding $$ nor the bank ( another fact that is easily verified )and for the most part we came through with our promises solid payouts , good CS and good bonuses. When everyone was getting the good stuff we were a top book of course.

After expressing my desire to leave for several months I left the company and retired from the post up scenario.

I am sure this post will not change the frustration and anger that some of you feel , and of course you associate your feelings towards the forum face of the sportsbook but I felt this post on my behalf was necessary.

I wish the best for the players and I am hoping some of the larger shops that have the financial prowlness will come in and help players out for the good of the industry in general.


No Bitch you are trying to save your fuking life,,,,,,,Ill be down in Costa Rica in 5 weeks Bitch, Hopefully with the picture i have and your fullname Jon Kreta, someone down there will point me in the right direction for 250-500us dollars. I am personally going to shove you gun up your fuking ass bitch, and you may wake up with a little Vasoline on your asshole! Give me 5 weeks, Costa Rica is a yearly Vacation for me since my Wife is spanish, Good luck and please stay down there, you cant be hard to find down there fukhead!

Take it you have a significant amount of cash in BetIslands then?

[Jbaby97]

someone doesn't leave for personal reasons in the middle of Football season? The writing was on the wall, never again should anyone trust these 'Mickey mouse Shops"

As one of the managers of the company I felt you guys deserved that much.

Instead of been on this thread crying about you lost your Financial Backer shouldn't you be on the PHONE calling some of those Big Books...
Dam JON you are very GREAT at excuses you sure did fool them...

[woodsy5822]

I know you guys are mad. but lets focus on the answers in this thread while we have here.. we can bash him in another thread haha.. no need for people to play internet tough guys

[Betislands]

When I spoke about payouts I believed what was said to me , I had no reason not to believe.. for over 2 years our payments went out like clockwork.

PS. I already called most of the books on the top of this page

This is why I am hoping this post will raise awareness on how this situation affects the industry as a whole

[PAULYPOKER]

ahahahahahahaha

People never trust any of these Costa Rican cocksuckers. Please never give any of these fukkers another dime. This whole episode has shown the

It is not worth it.

That would be all books but Bovada and legends.................

Because a PR guy who left "weeks" ago wouldn't be lying, touting and trying to scam as much money possible a week ago.

You are a scumbag, a thief, a liar, and a c*nt.

[bostonboss]

jon is trying to look good so when he comes forth with another scambook and he gets a good rating by sbr that he will steal more money again.

[C.S.]

What does... "the backing" have to do with player deposits?
If the backing pulls out you can't do business going forward, but there should be a surplus of players deposits around... right?
Where did they go?

are you even reading? dude came on just like last week saying everything was gravy and his original post said he left weeks ago. so which is it? you cant have both. also how can sbr not pick up on any of this when several forum members knew what was going on? you're telling me some members living in america had a better scoop of the situation then sbr? you must either be real dilusional or have money tied up in bi hoping to get paid.

[Squared Box]

Where's the money?

Did you or this "unnamed" financial backer steal it?

[bostonboss]

chrstmas parties, hookers, and booze.

[Smoke]

Jon word got out that you are former poster SSLP

Any truth to this cause all signs point to Yes.

[Ra77er]

Jon I would seriously advise you have a look at getting plastic surgery with all that stolen money. New identity, new country, new shop etc. I can only imagine what one of these barreled in grizzlies would do if you were found.

[Betislands]

Would I really be here posting an apology if I did that?

Every major book owner or person in the know in Costa Rica and in the industry knows I am manager that works with forums and public relations not a financial banker or a major player.

This post was made out of respect because I posted here not because I am trying to make myself look in any way.

[bostonboss]

stop the lies jon

[bostonboss]

jon is crapping his pants now.....i should offer a good amount of money to the monkey boy running the live chat at BI..to get jon's personal info....

[KGambler]

So when someone posted a few months back that the owner had been arrested... and you came on and accused the person of being a liar and a bitter ex-employee - they were actually telling the truth and you were the liar?

The owner ran into legal trouble? So he's one of the guys arrested when the whole Cantor gaming/pinny debacle went down?

I have no problem with you coming here to explain some of your side of the story, and I understand you can't get too specific. But don't come here bullshitting us. 99% of what you have said here is bullshit.

[Betislands]

I am not hiding nor will I hide. Just ask around the industry I am not a financial backer , I was not the $$ in BI.

When I spoke about payouts I firmly believed what was said to me why would I not? For 2 years our payouts went out just fine so I was doing my job.

Like I said this thread was started out of respect since I posted on SBR , not to make excuses or anything of that sort.

The situation has nothing to do with the Cantor case.

[KGambler]

Someone posted months ago that BI's owner had been arrested in the US. And you called them a liar. That was all true, wasn't it?

[bostonboss]

jon give us the name of the person who told you people would get paid.

[5mike5]

the nerve

unbelievable

[Squared Box]

Why are you protecting the financial backer that stole all the postup then?

Why is SBR doing the same?

Here it is:

And now we are told the owner ran into "legal troubles"

It's gotta be one of the people busted in the Cantor Gaming/pinnacle scandal.
