    It is adjusted when the bet is graded.

    not letting you put 3 teams in your FP parlays

    The Following Error Occurred:


    The max number of teams for a FreePlay is: 2

    thanks
    I checked that just now. It doesn't round everything down. It rounds everything in the books favor, from 0-99. So 0.01 risked becomes the next whole dollar, and 0.99 won becomes the previous whole dollar. Since they're targeting recreational players, changing the posted juice in this manner would have to qualify as, quite literally, shady business practice. If I were a betting man I would bet that Jon would not keep this feature.

    Wow no more overnight lines. BetIslands just took a major step back. Would love to hear from John on why they are doing this. Just when you thought they were going to take the crown of best offshore sportsbook they pull this???? C'mon BI, why take a step back?

    They need to get their 3 team parlays on freeplay wagers fixed. (Only allowing 2 team parlays max right now but was 3 teams a few days ago)

    Hi Guys,

    We changed softwares sunday , after popular demand by the players this translates into 2 big changes in a week we have focused our efforts on getting the sportsbook and infrastructure running smooth than expanding our betting options right away.

    We have added cents to our softwares and increased our limits, props and overnight lines will come in the next 72 hours we do offer game props but we intend to expand our cart 3x.

    Betislands is not going anywere I have asked clients to bare with us the last couple days while we get situated , this is nothing but a transition phase for the better.

    Our payouts are still the fastest , our bonuses are still one of the best , our CS is still top notch.

    Thanks again for understanding.

    Cheers!

    Jon

    can't login. I login and it says "Cant connect with the server"

    Great, nothing like getting home from work with not much time to put in bets and you can't even log in.

    As long as 3 team parlays can be placed with freeplays and betislands gets a lot more soccer betting options (different leagues) than I will be happy with the current setup.

    Who cares what the software looks like? The key is that the software works to place your wagers correctly.

    I'm still undecided. And it doesn't seem to be finalized yet. Are they still working on it/changing it?

    I noticed they added MLB futures. Would be nice to see NBA futures as well - Eastern Conference, Western Conference winners, NBA champion odds.

    Will NBA Player Props be available before the playoffs? And when will over night lines be available. If I remember correctly, on Monday John said that Player Props and Overnight Lines would be available within 72 hours. Is this true?

    BET ISLANDS gets the job done, and if you ever bring something to their attention. the response is rapid. My take is that they are working steadily on improvements to the site. Ashley-Ben- and Jon are excellent in customer relations- If they were a hotel -it would get 5 stars.

    The non-working cents have again disappeared, and the rounding still works entirely in the books favor. Betting $10 on Team X+159 nets you $15 on a win. Betting on Team Y at -161 costs you $17 to win $10.

    Jon, are there plans to correct/change this? It seems rather pointless to tout -107 lines if it will still cost me $11 to win $10.

    I love BetIslands. They really do a great job, and have treated me very well. I am hoping this is just another transitional item.

    Why are wagers rounding up again? If this is fixed will we get our money lost/gained back? This adds up if you are a high action player
