    Sign in if You Agree to Make no Deposits Offshore Until BI Players Are Made Whole

    Made whole simply means a Joint Effort by what is left of this industry to offer a genuine bailout without an additional deposit. It also means dealing with the perps of this scam. Any stand up guys left in CR need to do this in whatever manner you do things down there!

    This will be difficult for many of you gamblers especially at this time of the year. Sometimes to get something done you have to sacrifice. Make small bets with what you got left and win them. If you don't, call it a season and forget foots the rest of the year and in January. Tough yes I know. But just do it.

    Solidarity can work. If anybody who didn't get stiffed joins this group, kudos to you gentlemen. Business as usual just simply can't continue in this crumbling industry. You can dismiss this thread as stupid if you wish. Do that. Soon you'll have no industry left.

    Question is do you want anykind of industry left? If you do, you got to hit them where it hurts. So sign in or continue to play in the Players Talk sandbox with free popsicle stick points. Your choice!

    No more money to CR works for me.

    BI/EZ is the filth of the earth. Not only did they steal players money but they tried to throw a wrench into the bailout talks by reputable books. I can't wait for these guys to be lined up and executed. No questions asked.

    I am done as well and will search for a Local. If I get my $3,200 back, then they will get all of my future deposits because you can't beat off-shore odds.

    Count me in

    I have now been involved with the 2 biggest collapses- 32k at wsex and 18k here at BI

    It took me a long time to get over wsex and although I am not as bright as I once thought I was because of what I mention above I am certainly never going to be stupid enough to ever deposit anywhere ever again

    I also use to recommend books to others and that certainly wont be happening anymore either

    ok lets say 30 days from now the numbers show it was a 5 percent dip in deposits to off shore sports book, as compared to the previous 30 days.
    How will the books know that its because players have joined together and are demanding a bailout for BI account holders?
    They may just chalk it up to it being holiday season and players used a lot of money on Christmas gifts or etc.

    How will this ban be effectively communicated to the sports books?

    i like your idea, just wondering about the execution.

    I quit playing with BetIslands a year ago even though they called me 7 days a week asking for deposits. I didnt lose any money to this fiasco but I will commit to not send another dime to Costa Rica. I will fly to Vegas once a week to wager and settle. I will also try to find a local to take any extra action I want once I am home.

    Agreed, I'm in. BI was the ultimate betrayal--aided by the #1 watchdog site. Trust has been completely shattered for US bettors.

    I wouldn't steer my worst enemy towards SB.com (D-), but I think it's perfect for you. Payouts there are now taking longer than 2 months, and they do steal from sharps sometimes, not that you should be concerned about this. There are much better Jazette brands out there, but you stick with SB.com, buddy. Hope they fukk you good.

    The day when Heritage or Bookmaker folds is the day I'll be done with CR.

    Sorry about your loss but you cant compare BI with a Heritage or BM.

    I would trust my money with Heritage over a local any day.....not even close.

    Well, the books monitor the forums. Several of them have employees that respond to negative posts to see if they can straighten out any problems. Diamond, JustBet, Heritage, and Bovada come to my mind immediately for doing this, and even the ones that don't actually post are lurking. But, you are right, another form of communication should be utilized.

    Mike, i have read enough of your posts to realize you are not very bright, but i thought i would point out that the thread was created for people who agreed not to deposit..not to ask people if they are participating. I thought it was self explanatory but obviously you didn't understand.

    I would not send any coin to the books in CostaRica.

    Would not do so even if there is some bailout for all those that got fukked up their ass by BetIsland.

    None of this will make a difference. The books are laughing at you, too many people need their action like a crack whore needs her pipe.

    I love having action on games..i have been doing this a long time, started when i was about 19 with a company called english sports betting, but it's not worth it anymore, with all the hassles of payment and having my money stolen, im done. Im hoping the books are going to help out rather than laugh, i think it would be a wise business decision on their part, but thats just my opinion..we will see if they agree after these mettings that are supposed to happen in the second week of January.

    I love sports betting too. When i did not have anyone to bet with i placed bets with the homeless guy down the street. I took his cardboard box and his jar filled with urine.
