    Bizzle to be quite honest with you maybe in the future the horse racing volume has gone down dramatically over the last few years offshore , if someone in specific wants more tracks I could arrange that but adding man power and extra to a platform that really is not even 30% of what it was 6 years ago does not seem like a sound move from a booking point of view for me at this time.

      I would love to do one stop shopping w/ you, but the horse max payout limits are substandard. You did relay to me, it isn't your focus, but I would love to play horses and bet pick 4's with some industry standard payout max's.

          betisland sounds like easystreet to me. once easystreet had the cory1111 problem betisland started to popup. one of the rep from betisland said if you start to find your edge, they will limit you before you pass your rollover. their mlb lines are crap compare to the A+ books lines. best of lucky to everyone

              Hi Mike,

              Thanks for your feedback .

              We have no relationship at all with Easystreet, before betislands I managed and owned Wagerchief.com. SBR can confirm this if you read the news report.

              In all my years of dealing with players here on this board I have not once limited someone to low limits when their rollover is in the thousands , I find that unethical and I do not conduct my shop that way.

              Our MLB odds are pretty competitive in my opinion a true dimeline up to -190 is hard to top.

              All feedback is good feedback if you would like to see something in particular let me know and I might be able to help , if not always feel free to contact me.

              Cheers!

              Jon

                  i only hope that u're rep is scaring me after the fact that i deposited and betislands turns out to be a great book. after the easystreet experience i'm more cautious to where i deposit my funds.

                    @mr inpak , we are currently not but I do have some stuff in the works for football season so I will be able to help you out then

                    @Mikeanite , cannot blame you for doing your homework but I doubt you have ever or will read anything like that in any shop that I have been involved with , with that being said your good to go enjoy the service and I can assure you a smooth ride.

                      Jon: Wanted to pass along a good word about one of your service reps--Ryan. He hooked me up with a 50% re-up bonus last week. Shortly thereafter he helped me resolve a grading error on the Indy 500 ( a driver was later moved from sixth to fifth due to the final lap crash). Very happy with the CS support at BI.

                            Hey guys,


                            Thanks for the feedback.

                            As I posted before our horse racing is not what I am mainly focusing on right now if someone wants something in particular contact me and we will work it out I am all for working with players . I do apologize guys with football coming I really want to solidify Betislands sportsbook and then add on to the horse platform.

                            I keep notes and all this feedback is what helps us improve.

                            Thanks !

                                  Dark, go to the website. Not the best horse max payouts right now.

                                        So far have had an excellent experience with them,had signed up with them with their 100% free play bonus,rolled it over 10x and just requested a ** payout of $1000 and had an email with the instructions about 3 hours after the request..can it get any better than that?!

                                          That is awesome. Congrats on the win.

                                          P.S. I predict BI will be a B range Book by FB season with an ad banner flying here.

                                            I deposited last weekend...

                                            Pros -- Great baseball lines, including team totals...great customer service (Nick), strong bonuses

                                            Cons -- Not the most attractive site....lots of white and gray

                                            Overall...a winner!!

                                                I am so glad, I read this thread. Joined up and talked to Ryan, a super nice guy and very informative. I have dealt with several books the last 8 years. I will admit it was a pleasure that I have never had with another book. Seem to be on the up and up!

                                                Thanks for all the good info here

                                                  sounds like every one using Bet islands really likes it. I wish them well, we can always use another solid customer service book with lots of options. I'll probably wait and see before i deposit, but its nice to hear so many good reviews of a new book.

                                                  I agree with Khamarinouofm that Bill or anyone at sbr should refrain from calling people shills when you consider how much time they have spent covering for 5dimes the last few weeks.

                                                              Jon, I wish you luck in your new endeavor. I actually feel better now that you are out from under the Betphoenix umbrella. I have made my first deposit today to give you a shot - and normally I don't deal with new books much, but since you have been square with me in the past; I will send a little business your way.
