    I agree. They are great place and I am glad I have them. Why do people create thread titles like this, it makes you look less than>smart.

    Betislands is a must have out! If your are a serious gambler looking for early lines it should be teamed up with a Cris book or Heritage. Either way I highly recommend them best CS and payouts in the indusrty.

    there are going to be small problems at any book, but BI usually goes above and beyond with their CS to make things right. Best book there is IMO, great work BI

    Cookie cutter book. Sure you pay out quick, your offerings are really weak though. You have fallen behind Legends in my personal rankings.

    Can you please explain to me what Legends offer that we do not?

    They are a great book but I am curious.

    Cheers,

    I have played with Legends as my backup book to 5dimes and from what it sounds like, BetIslands is better with the reduced juice, though both books aren't eager to get the lines out early. Personally, I might make the switch from Legends to BetIslands

    Is reduced juice considered a bonus at BetIslands, meaning that it can be taken away just as it can at 5dimes?

    One thing, Legends currently has the totals up for most of college slate Saturday why you guys have totals for todays games only.

    And not saying your shop is bad as I have an active account at BI just saying that is one advantage that most of the major shops have over your book.

    Also, if I transfer 1k or more from 5dimes to BetIslands, are there any rollover requirements?...or is it treated as if I made a regular deposit?

    Jon never said legends had more offering just that you were behind them in my personal rankings. Which is 5d, heritage, legends then you, of the 4 books on my radar currently. What you need, more options on the board while your CS is closed( basically never anything you can get action on from time your CS closes to the time it opens, maybe you will get lucky and find a game or 2 on a weekend morning not much during the week), MMA parlays, Tennis mixed with other sports parlays. Thanks for caring.

    I don't understand this, having 1 guy watch overnight lines(for mlb too) must be less expensive than losing all the action that is taken to other books instead.

    BI is missing a lot of cfb betting options..


    the following are offered for major tv games only:

    1. cfb moneylines - why not for all games?
    2. cfb team totals - why not for all games?
    3. cfb quarters - why not for all games?


    the following options are not offered for ANY games:

    1. cfb 1H moneylines
    2. cfb quarters moneylines

    Jon,
    Where can we get the rules for the free 1/2 point? I can't seem to find it on the website. Someone said that it was only available during Tuesday thru Friday which we know really limits the options. Can you please clarify the rules for the free half point?

    Thanks

    Hi Nick,

    I value your opinion.

    But we do offer overnight lines for football , we do offer tennis parlays and MMA parlays.

    Our betting cart is actually larger than the book mentioned and we offer -108 juice + free half points + same day payous.

    I respect the competition but my job is to make Betislands the best.

    Cheers,

    Jon

    I joined last year (to go pro here) and never received any of the stuff you guys advertise. I lost a couple of games to the half point and definitely didn't get -108 (maybe -106) that was advertised everywhere. Haven't been back since. If I reload, who do I talk to to make sure I'm eligible for these promos? I never got the joy of experiencing one of your "fast payouts" either.

    Jon,

    I'm not asking for overnight on football. I'm asking for Euro basketball, hell basketball from every other nation not named the USA!handball, volleyball, challenger tennis, japan baseball, ect ect ect..... I want to have action 24/7 not have a down time because your CS is closed. Also your "cart" which i'm assuming means cards? Is no where near that of 5d or heritage they offer most of what i mentioned above as well as what you offer. Also want tennis totals and spread betting.

    Nick,

    I cant and will not offer volatile markets while we are giving out what we are right now.

    I understand you may want more betting options but none of the other sportsbooks offer what we offer promotional wise so if you want to bet Euro basektball , Betislands is def not the book for you.

    If someone wants to play mainstream sports , tennis , MLB , MMA , soccer , NFL , NCAAF.

    Nobody gives what we do.

    Cheers,

    Jon

    PS. Higher we do not to book to book transfers with any shops at the time

    So...the Industry struggles with US laws, and b2b would be the easiest way to give players fast transfers.
    But it's not offered, is there a hidden message somewhere that books in reality don't give a rats arse about the players?

    Hi Monte,

    We just do not wish to transfer with any other sportsbooks , we care for our players that is why we treat them like we do.

    We have a solid business model but we cannot please everyone.

    So many books claim they have the "fastest payouts in the industry."

    If you give SBR a good kickback and you've proven that you won't destroy the credibility of SBR, then they're going to keep you at the top of the ratings.

    Does BetIslands allow Tennis parlays for these first couple rounds of the US Open?
