    Shari and SBR say consolidate B I threads.
    Right for SBR. Wrong for players.

    Consolidate the BI threads into one or two huge threads and nobody new reads everthing in them. Have 8 or 9 threads with fewer posts going at all times and many more read everthing in them, post in them and bump them up. Doesn't matter that they might be similar. Not everybody that comes by here is here everyday. Greater number of threads means greater exposure of the daylight robbery by the unholy alliance of Bet Islands and Sportsbookreview.

    Yes these posts do feed SBR's numbers for now. But when rats are called rats over and over in these posts, people come to believe that they are in fact dealing with rats who occasionally make a post calling for us to "move on" and scurry away again.

    This supposed meeting of the bookmakers next week: really think it's gonna happen? Or might it have been a diversionary tactic so that the rats can hide a bit longer while these threads hopefully go away?

    Problem for SBR is that these threads are just about all that many posters care about right now. You hijacked my money. I'll try and hijack your sub-forum.

    Not sure how having a bunch of threads about the same topic is going to help players get their money or have any effect on anything.

      Mr.Jones is right.If you look at other threads they condense it all looks like a clusterfukk and it's hard to read.That's what they want.The more threads the better,don't let this fade away.

        Jones, the vast and now overwhelming amount of threads with basically the same content is now diluting the power of the focus groups voice. Many will begin to not bother reading many of them from the reitiration on the redundant and this will lead to them possibly missing the valuable post here and there that is actually disseminating valuable data. It will now be more hurtful than helpful, the point has been made. I would suggest keeping three... including your beloved ALL ARE Connected as well as Hoggys Math... You guys as a whole should choose or suggest the third. I kind of like one of the apology oriented ones myself. Persistent b"astard arent you... props and respect. I commend you on your determination. Hard proposal being submitted today to possible principles, does not look good though but who knows. Just remember, we do not consider the total aggregate balances real money... it was basically given to the players. The deposits and withdrawals and a reasonable percentage of aggregate winnings based on skill profile is what will be considered. Good luck on your ongoing campaign.

          lots of people on this forum lost lots of money from the betislands scandal. you can't tell me that for these people, they care more about

          william hill payout speed
          payout options for 5dimes
          bwin slowpays
          dimeline slowpay
          some guy wanting to start his own sportsbook
          some moron asking about sia and bodog
          5dimes payouts
          warning about oddsmaker well known scambook
          some guy bitching about pinnacle being down
          some guy bitching about 5dimes account limits

          than about getting their money from betislands and rightfully tarnishing the name of those responsbile for the theft in the first place. nobody gives a penetrate about payouts from 5dimes or william hill or bwin when all their money just got stolen from betislands. so for shari to come in and say "hey guys can we please keep it down about betislands i'd prefer to read more about some retard's thoughts on bovada" is just an ignorant thing to say.

              Great move to consolidate. The guys above made great points on the reasons why. No one is going to read 8 BI threads. If the BI guys want to be heard, then keep it to one thread.

                The threads should be consolidated. This is still a forum and people come to Sportsbook & Industry section for reviews/updates on other sportsbooks. What would the point of this section be if there are 10 different BI threads constantly getting bumped to the top when you can just have 1 or 2.

                    The point is that we aren't reading anymore BI threads. Keep it to one and many more will look. Even if other threads are of less importance, many still want to read them without sifting through all the BI threads.

                      Raiders, you are reading the BI threads..for whatever reason you post in most of them..haven't figured out what your motives are for your constant presence in these threads..but you are always reading them.

                          Take a look. Up until 6 days ago I was looking and posting in many. Now I don't. I saw this one and came back.

                            I just looked and researched my posts. I read many and posted up to 12/31. After that I only made one post until today. I'd like to see what's going on but no way am I going to even look with all the threads.

                              BetIslands Bailout or Bonus Offer?

                              Off Shore Gaming Assocation-Jan 4, 2013
                              We heard as soon as we returned in the New Year we heard that there was a bit of a 'bailout' being offered to select BetIslands customers.

                                There is wide speculation that there is co-ownership between these two books, but we don't see it.

                                    EZStreet is not related. The other two are related. Everyone knew.

                                      how about a compromise. consolidate the threads but put sticky and asterisk and highlight to make sure it is not missed. (like that will ever happen)

                                        The threads were interesting but everything that needs to be said has been said....the players could start 1 giant thread or a 1000 small threads but the end of the story is you got scammed when SBR dropped all ethical standards and your money is gone, SBR truly doesnt give a penetrate even though all the players were setup by them

                                        Remember to click the banner for BetOnline at the top of the screen....SBR B+ rated so you know they're solid

                                          I'm not recommending taking the offer but BI players at SBR have been posting a lot of misinformation.
                                          So we are cautiously optimistic about the EZ Street bailout offer. It's not for everybody, but for most of the players, they will end up better than anyone did at Aces Gold, BETonSPORTS or BetED. So, should you take the offer? It is really up to each individual player and their view of wether this is a bailout program or a bonus offer

                                              SBR was not in on this thing from the beginning as everyone keeps posting. I doubt that SBR made much money in Nov. and Dec. if any at all. SBR covered it up and people dumped money into Jon's pocket. I feel that SBR was hoping that someone would pull BI out. SBR still is to blame for the cover up and people that made deposits in Nov. and Dec. SBR is not omniscient and didn't purposely throw posters under the bus when they raised BI's rating to "B"

SBR covered it up and people dumped money into Jon's pocket. I feel that SBR was hoping that someone would pull BI out. SBR still is to blame for the cover up and people that made deposits in Nov. and Dec. SBR is not omniscient and didn't purposely throw posters under the bus when they raised BI's rating to "B"
                                                Raiders, your posts have been almost identical in every thread..you are so adamant that SBR was not responsible for this..i dont know if they were or not but it seems suspicious that you are so hell bent on defending them..

                                                  My posts said that EZStreet and BI weren't the same. I was adamant about that and everyone said I was wrong. You guys spew too much bullshit here at SBR and say it in many threads daily. Guys want to put the full blame on SBR instead of taking any responsibility. Posters made BI a top book. Anyone that has been around knows that books will tank no matter how much research that you do. SBR was wrong on the cover up and that was a huge blunder on their part. I'm not protecting SBR, just questioning the bullshit here.

                                                    I have said time and time again that i dont know what role SBR played in this..i do have my suspiscions based on the research i have done but i have basically remained silent about it..im still hoping they can help. Even if everyone and their mother thinks that SBR stole the money, why do you care? it's just very suspicious. You have made your point ans said the same thing over and over again..these threads are basically full of pissed off BI players, just let them do their thing, you arent going to convince them...God knows you have tried.

This is still a forum and people come to Sportsbook & Industry section for reviews/updates on other sportsbooks. What would the point of this section be if there are 10 different BI threads constantly getting bumped to the top when you can just have 1 or 2.
                                                            What is your relationship with EZ and/or BetIslands?

                                                                unfortunately, this is 100% wrong, bd... they would have paid money to be at therx or e o g or covers or anywhere else or all of them and the same shit would have happened to people all around...

                                                                also, and this is just my opinion...but i believe you cant blame sbr for anything before BI made its last payout...whenever that actually was... the constant lying to the forum as well as sbr about everything doesnt make sbr any more responsible... we can argue that till we are blue in the face and get nowhere, im just putting it out there... and you know as well as i do that jon was actually posting about bi after he already quit...so you cant trust a single fukking word that guy spits...and we both know he will say anything to take heat off of himself and put it on someone elses shoulders.

                                                                but anyways, as far as the thread topic goes....if the bi threads take over too much space on the front page, combine some of them...but i dont see that just yet...combine the ones that arent getting any traffic , would be my suggestion

They all think that EZ and BI are under the same ownership and that SBR had it planned long ago to run off with $1.5m. If you don't agree with that scenario, then you're on SBR's payroll even if you think SBR was wrong on the cover up and should pay for all of the Nov. and Dec. deposits.

They all think that EZ and BI are under the same ownership and that SBR had it planned long ago to run off with $1.5m. If you don't agree with that scenario, then you're on SBR's payroll even if you think SBR was wrong on the cover up and should pay for all of the Nov. and Dec. deposits.
