    makes no sense for any good book to "bailout" BI players

    Hard to let go of hope. But this sums it all up.

    Before im going to accept that conclusion i want to hear SBR tell us there will be no bailout..i agree it's starting to look that way though, these meetings where the bailout was supposedly being discussed took place on the 24th..no updates since then, not good.

    That original bailout could still be on the table. If EZstreet got wind of it, it would have prevented their scam so they quickly presented their own 'bailout', and obscured the topic.

    SBR -- word on the street is that Jon now works at 7red. We know that EZ has admitted hiring BI managers and clerks ( out of their humanitarianism ). Since you know all parties involved, PLEASE TELL US IF JON WORKS FOR EITHER OF THESE BOOKS.

    Dear former Betislands customer,
    After BetIslands ceased operations this week, players have been left wondering about their deposits and winnings and BI employees without a paycheck. While there has been plenty of finger pointing going around, EZ Street has decided to step up and try to help as many people as possible affected by this situation.
    Prior to the closure of BI, we attempted to step in and save it, but we were unable to obtain a proper audit of the nearly 2 million in account balances. There were multiple reasons for this, including poor management and a high number of sharps, bonus manipulators and syndicate players.
    Because of this, a blanket bailout program is not feasible as certain accounts, identities, deposits and balances can never be truly verified. We understand that some will not be happy to hear this, but we want to be upfront so there are no unrealistic expectations.
    We have spent the past week working on details of a possible bailout program. We hope this program will help brighten the holidays for both players and ex-employees.
    We are sending you this invitation email to be a part of the BI Bailout. To help expedite the situation we are offering employment to ex-BI account managers and customer service workers. Please call us at 888 707 6085 and our account managers will guide you through the process. We really want to be able to hear from you and help you in a personalized fashion.
    The Bailout Proposal is as follows:


    - Is by invitation only and will be conducted on an account by account basis

    - 
Up to 100% of the verifiable balance from BetIslands credited to an EZStreet account (cash not freeplay). Verifiable balances do NOT include previous bonuses and freeplay credits by BI.
    - 
Customer must make a deposit with EZ Street for 50% of their verifiable BetIslands balance.
    - Rollover will be BI balance+ EZ Deposit x 15 times rollover

    - Payouts tied to this Bailout will be ineligible for our free Tuesday payout program. Customers have the choice of requesting two P2P transactions or one $2500 check payment per week. after that normal payout rules will apply. 


    - All customers that participate in this offer must provide ID and verify contact information to avoid future claims 
as well as for security purposes.


    - We reserve the right to terminate this offer without notice, close the account(s) and return player deposit(s) if we find that any professional betting groups, players with multiple accounts or any kind of players conducting fraudulent activities have infiltrated our bailout proposal.
    - We understand it’s a tough time of the year so we will work with those that do not have the 50% deposit please call so we can work with you individually.
    - The bailout offer will expire on Sunday January 20th, 2013.
    We have partnered with the RX sports forum to document that everyone that has been invited to participate has been given everything they were promised in a professional and timely manner. Because so many players have been affected it will take us a few days to get to all of you.
    Happy Holidays!

    Bet islands was paying posters to shill for them on the forum. Some received free plays, some cash. Some both. Rob might be one of those posters. Don't know if he'd admit to it.

    The way you were pushing betislands left many to think you were not only getting reloads..but also Jon's load all over your face.

    I find the thread humorous for some, very sad for others.

    seems before football started, nobody could say something about bi, because hedgehog and rob and dark hat among others would defend them from all comments negative.

    Now hedgehog is looking for his money.

    Line freak was removed from the site for his opinion. He didnt like the customer service, or the limits, or the lack of continuity, but was blasted for saying it.

    All the zealots who defended BI tooth and nail, now look like a bunch of pricks.

    Offshore is becoming a joke, even if you win, it;s increasingly difficult to get your money. If you win big, you got to take small withdrawals over a a long ass time.

    Anyway, if you lose a financial backer, this would mean you cant run shop any more, why does it mean everybody loses their money? Give it back at their own cost, not sure why bi keeps it, where is the law?

    And for the zealots, WHY couldnt anybody talk to you? WHY? How was this book the greatest book that ever existed?

    Im sure lines freak is shaking his head, and probably chuckling a bit that hedge hog lost his money, the guy wouldnt shut up on behalf of BI

    But his heart probably goes out to the rest.

    No hope for any real bailout.

    They took the cash and ran off to hide in another sportsbook. I am sure they will resurface again someday.

    write what happened out in front of you.

    Then read it.

    It's pretty penetrating clear.

    Update is:

    1. Pump and dump scam operation with SBR being complicit in a 1.5m fleecing on its members.
    2. EZstreet probably involved in the scam

    You need to re-read the threads involving Lines Freak. He was a real piece of shiit, as are you, and deserved to be called out. So do you--Fukk off Casper.

    Im not certain about this, 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.

    You're right that they could care less about our sorry asses. But they can't be too happy with one thread after another exposing their sorry ass scam. Just doesn't seem to want to go away.
