no you dont have to rollover once with no bonus

[HedgeHog]

Did the teaser rules change overnight? The phrase "ties win" no longer appears when I try to make my teasers. In fact, nothing is stated, so are we to assume ties push now?

Does this help HH?

Thanks, MBenz. Surprised BI changed the rules in the middle of the weekend. Yesterday ties won, today they push/cancel. Ouch!

[bookie]

How much do they charge for ** & ** withdrawals?

[bookie]

I should have said "person to person" withdrawals.

When did this teaser rule come into effect? I played a teaser 2 days ago of the Giants -3/Texans -2?

Would have liked to see an email or something telling the players of such a big rule change. I got a push.

I couldn't agree more. I think the rule was actually changed either late Friday or early Saturday, because one of my teasers bet yesterday didn't say ties win (all my Friday teasers were fine). As it turned out, it didn't matter as the first part of it lost. Looks like 5-Dimes will get the brunt of my teaser action now--at least the betting tickets are clearly marked there as to whether ties win or push. Not happy the way BI implemented this significant change, out of character for them.

[moses millsap]

Really? 5dimes is my least favorite place to play teasers.

I'm guessing you focus on Wong teasers solely. If so, I agree 5-Dimes is definitely a poor choice because of the way they adjust their teaser lines. For me, I see it as an opportunity to bet the dogs I like and get an extra point or so in my teasers.

one free a month

-stash

Thanks stash...

So one free person to person a month, and do they also cover fees on incoming?

And is there some kind of rollover to qualify for the free payouts? Seems like they're going to have really high payout costs for a discount book.

[southpaw74]

Every book I've used covers deposit fees for cash p2p. I'm sure bi does as well.

[astrodomer]

Sent ya an email Jon

[alta]

Every book I've used covers deposit fees for cash p2p. I'm sure bi does as well.

For the p2p fees to be covered minimum deposit $200.

[Masonator]

Does BI have team totals on NFL and NCAA football? Also do they offer alternate lines? For example if I want to take tonights MNF game with KC -3 + 250 (just an example) or on pucks If I want take the underdog on the puckline (-1.5) + 400 (just example) am I able to do that on BI?

Great Cs joined yesterday thanks Nick these guys are on the way up while others are slipping

[astrodomer]

Sent ya an email Jon doing a great job guys!

[bookie]

So will there be -107 on NCAA hoops?

[dtp]

I've emailed Jon a few times now with no response whatsoever. It's not very cool IMO.

[Betislands]

Hello guys,

I hope all is well , I have been out of the office for the last few days so I apologize if my replies have not been as prompt this week.

Yes we will be offering reduced juice for NCAA hoops , down to what number we do not know yet but it will def be worth while for college basketball fans.

Keep in mind if you do wish to bet more than $1k you may contact our CS.

Thanks for all the feedback and good luck this weekend!

Cheers,

Jon

I think that's when it happened too. I put one in on Sunday morning and didn't realize it had changed until I saw my pending wagers and noticed the "Ties Win" was no longer there. Very surprised an email or some notification wasn't sent out about it. I've moved a lot of my teaser action to a few other shops now as well due to the rule change.

Congrats to BI on the upgrade to B.

BetIslands Sportsbook receives rating upgrade
BetIslands (SBR rating B) players have continued to report positive experiences with the sportsbook. Much of the positive feedback surrounds General Manager "Jon Kreta", who prides himself on attention to detail and VIP service of player accounts. BetIslands is the youngest sportsbook to occupy a top five-slot in the SBR posters sportsbook poll. The biggest hurdle has been website uptime - in June of 2011 the sportsbook experienced downtime due to technical outages within their building. Since that time, BetIslands infrastructure and website performance has improved.

As a result of their efficiency, BetIslands Sportsbook has received another sportsbook rating upgrade. The last upgrade made on August 5th was posted after SBR verified that the operation is backed by established industry bookmakers. SBR will continue to evaluate customer service and payout feedback as the sportsbook grows. BetIslands players with feedback are asked to write to help@sportsbookreview.com, alternatively players may voice their feedback within the SBR Sportsbook & Industry forum.

This is very good news.. Congrats boys

[edawg]

IMO Besides Pinnacle better than every other A+ book on SBR!

[gwills]

BetIslands deserves at LEAST a B+, should be in A range in my opinion.

[secretstash]

yea this books is twice the book betonline is.. i recommend at least a downgrade by betonline or an upgrade to match betislands at B+

this book is comfortable and efficiency at its best

Hi Rob,

There are days just like any other business that we have alot of requests this does not happen often , payouts are usually delivered within 2 to 4 hours but when clients cash out certain days of the week specially right after a weekend they do tend to take a few more hours. Still same day though.

Congrats on your win.

Jon

Hey Jon, any chance you can add some euro basketball? I normally would use 5dimes but with their mess right now im staying away.

On top of that Euro hockey, KHL. I say this because with tennis pretty much done there will be a lull in action in the AM.
