Bet islands update anybody ???

[JasonDC]

Money gone. BetIslands gone. SBR forever stained. Move on. Nothing more to see here. Same as last week. Same as next week.

According to SBR there is a meeting schedules in the 2nd week of January to discuss this situation..i think we have to wait and see what comes from that before we are so quick to just accept it and move on.

According to SBR, BI was safe.

You cannot necessarily go by "According to SBR" in all cases.

I'd say a bailout is very unlikely.

[HedgeHog]

, but i think folks should give consideration into faultiing hedgehog and rob
and all the other BI shills for your misfortune.

They promoted the site and always stuck their heads in threads that said anything negative about BI.

They ran people off the forum who spoke out against BI, and somehow got others to agree with them.

I read one post here where shill Rob said he received 100% reloads, which would explain his enthusiasm for the book.

So who was the scammer? The book or the ones claiming it was the best book in the world, and controlled the threads that said otherwise?

Promoting a scam is as bad as running one, perhaps the shills should be held accountable?

Food for thought.

I AM certain that you're a ghost. 5 whole posts and nearly every one singles me out as a BI shill. Anyone who reads through past BI threads will find that I criticized BI as much as I praised them. Poor CS, a shop that couldn't operate when Jon wasn't around, lack of other deposit/withdrawal options--these were all voiced in various threads. And I would always be met with much opposition when I posted any constructive criticism. In short, you are one misinformed ghost.

[HedgeHog]

To answer the OP's question, Dozer said he would update on a possible 4-Book bailout of BI around the second week of January. However, no one should get their hopes up as I seriously doubt it will materialize.

The info is that time has to pass. This will become part of history with the rest of the books that closed with the money.

[Peregrine Stoop]

all your money are belong to BI/EZStreet/SBR/etc

What a joke! Ghost indeed! Who are you protecting that you have to have a new account to post in this forum?

[Dark Horse]

If this is not resolved it makes SBR just as guilty, and just as much of a scam, as BI. The den of thieves that is CR.

I would hope SBR has a plan B, in case the 4 or 5 book meeting doesn't offer a solution. Something in accordance with Justin's suggestion, where SBR compensates players.

Yes it's a ghost... not sure what his motivation is but multi accounters obviously aren't helpful to those who have lost money. HedgeHog and I may have our differences at times but no one deserves to be attacked by someone who can't stand behind one username. It's not fair and it's not tolerated here.

Anyway, now that the holidays are coming to an end in CR hopefully you guys get your answers soon and they're positive ones. Just keep in mind that from my minimal experience Costa Ricans seem to work on a weird slow version of time down there so maybe add a few days to what you expect as a normal response time about this.

[Dark Horse]

A lot on the line this month. In terms of credibility and reputation.

some people are out serious money. please dont joke like that (assuming this is a joke)

[bettilimbroke999]

yes it was a joke, at this point new threads asking "whats going on with betislands" seem a little ridiculous so I decided to post a ridiculous response

your only option (if you want to call it that) is to load up at their sister site EZ (assuming you've got the email they sent out) and pray not to get robbed again which seems like a longshot considering it is the exact same ppl

I agree. Im really hoping the boys from SBR can arrange a real bailout but if that doesn't get done im hoping worst case scenario players get reimbursed from their recent deposits..SBR was asking for recent deposit info from everyone..i deposited over $1500 from November 8th until they stole my money, it's not $6,521..but it's better than nothing.

[Kaps]

I hate to be the person to spoil any hope for people thinkng there will be a bailout. Guys I got fukked along with everyone else.
There will be NO bailout. Jon ran off with whatever money was left. Ship was sinking and new there was no way to survive. Cash flow kept decreasing and what was owed in accts kept increasing. SBR new all about this sinking ship. If there is a so called b.s bailout it will not be from a reputable book.
If you are told to send money to a shitty sportsbook you will get fukd again.

Dont take what im about to say the wrong way because im not saying it to be an ass..but you cant possibly spoil any hope because nobody has any reason to believe you know what the hell you are talking about. We arent going to walk away after reading your post and think it';s all over because Kaps from SBR said so. All we know is that we are 'told' there is a meeting scheduled with some sportsbooks where a bailout will be discussed. We will see what happens.

[rcene]

All these threads get started. Sbr says nothing, because there is nothing to say. The money is all gone.

Time to move on.

[bettilimbroke999]

Agreed, its time for these threads to die....its also the last time I feel sorry for someone scammed by one of SBRs B rated specials

You are wrong..SBR has said something..they said in the 2nd week of January there is a meeting scheduled with some sportsbook managers where a bailout will be discussed.

[flyingillini]

I am sure Tonto Wager Chief Shawn aka Ryan Rossi aka Phillip Murray will be contacting you soon!

I totally disagree with this post..i think the threads should pick up...i want to see 10 new ones a day about betislands.

why? It just clogs up the forum. There should be one thread that you guys can keep rehashing the same points and posts. The multiple threads should be merged. There are other things going on besides BI.

[Dark Horse]

Let's keep the facts straight. A book, that was developed almost exclusively through SBR forum, stole 1.5 million from players. That is the biggest thing, directly related to this forum, that has ever hit this forum. And it is not going to go away until it is resolved. The passing of time will not weaken the severity of this problem, regardless of the attention deficit disorder of people like raiders.

Fair enough that you feel that way. But Raiders does have a valid point. People aren't even paying attention to these threads any more. When 20 views out of 30 are mine, you know it's dire.

Maybe one big thread that can get thousands of posts and views would be better? Just seems that it's all displaced which throws off the interest of everyone else. One big BI thread might be more effective. Not sure. Just trying to help.

[Dwayne74]

Shari/others-

It is astonishing to me that the level of insensitivity and mind boggling stupidity that is displayed when people say we should stop posting every day about bi. A book stole 1.5 million dollars from players after sbr stated a number of times our funds were safe there. This is not only the biggest thing to ever hit this board but it is the biggest thing ever in the offshore industry bc if a bailout is not reached than offshore betting and sbr lose all credibility and a lot of future business. Also, excuse me if the number of views on one of many bi threads doesnt have enough views for you. I lost a life changing amount of money. Money i worked several years to earn and i will not let this issue die until a bailout is reached. In addition, how an industry as a whole cant do basic mathematical calculations to determine that their businesses and future bottom line profits would increase thru a structured bailout is perplexing. Any book who wanted to make money in the future wouldnt think of this bi situation as a problem but rather an opportunity to take in player deposits, revive dormant accounts, build their brand thru customer loyalty, and most of all make money when most people dont get thru their rollover anyways. Reputable books were and continue and continue to discuss a bailout and if sbr, their moderators and owners had any shred of decency they would exercise their considerable power to help facilitate a bailout. I wont give up hope of reclaiming my money and others shouldnt either until every last bailout option is explored.

As far as I am concerned there is nothing else of importance going on at SBR. I really am tired of you telling everybody else what is or is not important to them -- just who the fuk do you think you are? If you are not interested in these threads, stay out of them.

The view count seems to be rising. I hope SBR is not underestimating the importance of what happens here.

I do not like hearing this one little bit. Since I made a large deposit with a huge roll-over prior to this date, I would be left out in the cold. The ONLY reason I played at BI is because of SBR's assurances. If they were to offer relief for only late deposits, I would feel as though I had been ripped off again.

Thanks for the suggestion sweetheart..let us know when those brownies are ready.

I'm also out with this BI cluster-fukk (10k+), but Shari's not the person to attack here, seriously. At least she responds from time to time, unlike SBR's top brass whose greed led us all down this horrible path.

PS It would be easier to follow if the dozen or so BI threads were merged into 2-3 longer ones. At the very least, the two Hallandale threads should be combined as the titles are virtually the same.

I wouldnt say Shari attacked..she just gave a suggestion..you know how women are, always giving their opinion or suggestions on everything..and we pretend we care about their opinion, thats how it works.

[Peregrine Stoop]

So, Shari is just an enabler of the true a**holes?
