Because offshore offers perks, when was the last time your local gave you a reload bonus, reduced juice, or free half point?

Locals can steal your $ or get busted just like offshore, it's a crap shoot. I prefer the perks & will take my chances offshore. Limit your risk by dealing with A+books only.

spot on....

like u said, stay with A+ books and its min. risk.... nothing is going to change

Justin, if you are still around, would you mind explaining this statement?

**necro** · 01-14-13, 07:44 AM

My only connection with betisland was that i went PRO by making a deposit to Betisland which money i ''luckily'' busted

Just dropping in to let all of you that got roasted by these thieves that I'm behind you guys and rooting for you to get justice!! I don't post up much but was in a similar situation some years back when playing with Sportsbook.com and got stiffed for about 7k when they were stiffing players. I know this situation is a bit different, but I know the feeling of getting burned! Keep at it until you get some kind of positive resolution and if that means getting revenge in a different manner then so be it. I played at bi strictly because of SBR endorsing and I'm a bit shocked to see what they have become and the way they are handling this. Thankfully I wasn't crazy about bi and after a short while I got my $ out and never went back. Like I said keep at it!! And in the mean time for action I'd say get over to 5dimes or another reputable book. Although nothing seems safe anymore 5dimes has been great for me!

**ABEHONEST** · 01-14-13, 01:54 PM

You mean you let SBR led you astray? How unbelievable.

**Cicima6709** · 01-14-13, 03:26 PM

So sbr, does this mean our money is %100 gone?

**NEW_WORLD** · 01-14-13, 05:11 PM

you don't you're on a sports forum, talking about a book that went under.

**Hankwins** · 01-16-13, 03:00 AM

i did make a joke on a another forum that i knew know bailout is available and they said, that's a lie, we are baling out players without jumping through hoops. I won't name the name becuase it's banned on SBR and this book probably doesn't want me passing this on.

**Peregrine Stoop** · 01-16-13, 09:59 AM

is it possible SBR was out to screw the guys with the top balances at BI?

**Miz** · 01-18-13, 05:06 PM

Bump

**bettilimbroke999** · 01-18-13, 07:07 PM

Heritage bookmaker and 5dimes are all fighting over who's gonna give away 1.5 mil to a bunch of sharps...also if you idiots believe this you should immediately blow your brains out

**McFly86** · 01-21-13, 03:42 AM

Bill or anyone from SBR, it's becoming clear that there are negligible prospects of a bailout. When can we expect SBR's official response to the collapse of BetIslands?

They already gave it. Primarily it was "silence is golden". But they admitted they fukked up, and also stated that they shouldn't be held completely responsible, wasn't A rated for a reason. Going any further is probably speculation so I'll stop there. Would love to see an official statement though..

They stated that the bailout did not work. Sbr is done with the issue and the case closed.

The smaller accounts should try and secure a bailout on their own.

Rc,

I see you are a new member just like I am, can I ask how you know "Sbr is done with the issue and the case (is ) closed"?

You said they gave a response but I did not see it, or it was such a tepid response I did not realize that was their final statement ont he matter. Can you point me to the statement?

I checked with my contacts in CR and each of them said that Sbr was not going to be able to orchestrate a bailout. Amount for all the accounts was too great without any return for a book that would cover it.

Bill Dozer made a brief comment about the bailout falling apart. No one from Sbr has said anything since Bill's post. I am not sure which of the many BI threads that Dozer post is in, so you will have to search his posts to find it.

**Milk Money** · 01-22-13, 04:27 AM

Wasn't that dude touchback talking about something possibly materializing? What about it touch?

**the_orangekat** · 01-22-13, 05:45 AM

There are no bailouts, never was and never will be. You people need to move on with your lives (assuming you have lives outside of gambling, debatable with some of you). Sucks you got screwed but crooks will be crooks. These people took the money and ran and are not giving it back. Regardless of who you blame in contrary to the actual crooks who took your money, it is ULTIMATELY YOUR FAULT. You blindly sent money to people you don't know in Costa Rica. Is there not an inherent risk in that, alone? You people all sound like the ugly chick who's husband went to the store to buy a pack of smokes and it's been 7 years since he left. He'll return one day...I know some of you delusionals in here will attack me like I'm the bad guy because I am saying it like it is but to that I say in advance, respectfully go penetrate yourselves.

I did not blindly send my money in. SBR was shining the way.

sounds like a guy that cannot win sportsbetting

**lt56** · 01-22-13, 01:08 PM

There's no guarantees even with an A+ book. The Feds can take down any book on any given day, so it's a risk regardless of who you play with. When Betonsports.com got busted by the Feds and all 16 of their affiliate books got taken down; everyone lost their money. Betonsports and all their books were all A or A+ and was a publicly traded $70 stock on the London stock exchange; a company doing very well. I lost money from this but only $400 because I never allow balance to get too big. The American Feds came in and everyone lost all their money. People should be flooding their politicians and the White House with letters asking for legalized gambling and should understand the problem is the American legal system and not a forum that brings people together and provides a fun outlet.

A generalized comment... Recent developments outside of this topic have raised concerns... also a little massaging is required on the initial. This may appear to be vague and obtuse but I prefer to keep/have what forum interface rights that I have left. I would like to think that I can be more helpful in general with forum access to you guys in general so I have to respect certain things and operate in certain ways which means respecting the homeowners house. Rest assured I am a skilled tactician as well as strategist... keep in mind that most places that go belly up usually do it at a certain time of year which has made this a far more complicated situation. I would say more but it behooves me not to out of respect...

**goombah** · 01-22-13, 02:32 PM

Thanks touchback, I am truly appreciative of anything that you can help construe. Your message is better than a straight none and dead.

Touchback, Not sure who you are, but i like your style, and i have 15,000 tied up to like you even more........ 1 question please though, Do you live in Costa Rica? Only reason i ask is i am coming down there on vacation this Sunday the 27th and will be there for 1 week....I am looking for a local to show me around and lead me and 2 friends in the proper direction.........Thanks

**orisbumplut** · 01-22-13, 04:37 PM

More telling was Betislands couldn't even hold out until the Super Bowl which was when they could have really cleaned up. I got it up the azz with BOS but even though I had an account at BI, I couldnt bring myself to have any serious money with them. It just seemed to me that their website was designed and maintained by a 8th grader.

**dark star** · 01-22-13, 04:46 PM

Turn out the lights....the parties over....BI and SBR will forever be linked...in lying,stealing and bullshiting
