BetIslands Impressive!

[Leo Bello]

Hey guys, I certainly am no expert, but despite what rating BetIslands has, I have never seen a post with 41,500 views and 1,278 replies. That interest and volume has to be impressive, and the general posters seem to have given Bet Islands an A+, premature or not. Oh, and in case I am smeared with the word "shill," I am a physician. Unless like that other positive poster, they delete my post.

Hypocrites!

[prop]

Do these guys offer e-wallets or are they just a pure US only site?

[sneak-a-peak]

If you think thats impressive how about a thread thats over 2 years old with 2000 replies and a 100k views from a book that "used to be" A+?

the industry is in a sad state and going to get worse

the turned blind eye on this former giant boggles me

[BiGTonyHAHA]

betislands is top tier and it is becoming one of the possibly top 2 books imo

[dark star]

I would agree.Lets hope they continue to improve & offer more moneylines on college games.

[Legions36]

They are a top notch book, i hope u guys enjoy them like i do.

[bigbet1234]

solid

[getthismoney]

Has anyone heard of trouble getting money out?

[baskets]

lol, as if physicians are trustworthy. up there with lawyers and politicians

definitely enjoy the book so far. but time will tell

[HedgeHog]

They are in my top 3 too. Great Book. IMO SBR is still behind the curve on this young Book. BI should on the recommended list instead of say BetOnline which is horrible on CS and payout quickness.

[HedgeHog]

Has anyone heard of trouble getting money out?

None whatsoever. Very fast payouts from my experiences--same day p2p and checks in 3-4 days.

[edawg]

IMO the best book out there in this climate with 5 dimes and Heritage a close second!

[saints7011]

took a major nosedive with me...

cbb totals not released til 2 hours before game time is not what i expect from a top notch book...

[TheAntFather]

BetIslands took care of the problem I had quickly. I really appreciate it. Thanks Jon.

[Betislands]

Hi Antfather,


I will look into this issue today , we do not delete tickets we urge all clients to check their confirmed wagers online.

As always you can rest assure any issues will always be handled in the best way possible for the player.

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Saints,

That is correct CBB totals are one of the markets that moves the most , putting up our lines closer to game time is part of our risk management.

I apologize for any hassle.

Cheers!

terrible move and statement in my opinion...

we the bettors are willing to risk...

you should be willing as well...

hopefully i can meet my rollover and still have cash...

i will be withdrawing and going elsewhere with my business...

[Betislands]

Hi Saints,

I respect your opinion.

But we do offer free half points on CBB all sides and totals , cash bonuses , same day and free payouts at some point the book needs to protect itself a little bit these are markets that not many people even put lines up for due to the fact that they are so volatile.


I hope you will continue to use Betislands , if there is anything else I can do for you please let me know.

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Jon,

I hope you can get things cleared up. I know I made the wager and even saw the wager in my Pending Bets section. I wouldn't want to have to take pictures and screen shots of all my wagers. I would think I can trust BetIslands.

Jon ,

I understand all the benefits that your book offers...

but truthfully i can get that at another book i play at as well as overnight lines on cbb totals...

im a small player at your book as you are still new and i wanted to give you guys a try...

but if you want to continue to grow and get the respect of us bettors...

you may want to think about offering what the major books offer us bettors...

[Betislands]

Saints,

Thank you for the feedback , I believe we do offer what most US books offer if not maybe more when it comes to player props and game props and variety of lines.

We just choose not to deal our CBB totals until closer to game time I understand if that may not be what certain bettors are looking for , other bettors will be fine with 2 hours before game time and take advantage of our free half point and promotions package.

All shops are different and deal different types of lines / promotions etc we do our best to continue being a solid out for US players.

Cheers,

Jon

if you have players that are fine with taking a free half point on a line that has moved 2 or 3 points...

i would want those players at my book as well...

you have a great day Jon...

[dark star]

Jon-How about putting limits on totals?This would work for average bettors,while limiting your so called exposure

[TheAntFather]

Problem resolved. Thanks Jon.

[baskets]

do parlays count towards rollover?

[LetsWin]

Call me a cynic (hard not to be in this game) but I cannot help but wonder if books that post totals very close to game time are only doing so AFTER they had the luxury of watching where the sharp money is.

I think I'll practice my own "risk management" by taking my business elsewhere.

[gwills]

Willing to overlook the late totals (don't really bet many totals anyway) when they get you your money honorably and quickly. These guys can be trusted, and that is by far the most important characteristic when looking for a good book these days. Love BI, Jon is solid.

[taxer]

The late totals could be worked on but that does not mean they are not a top tier book , no book is perfect they pay and fast and give great CS .. you had me at hello BI

[AlwaysDrawing]

I wish totals were up sooner, especially since there is a solid overnight market on sides/totals at Pinny and BM for the lines to get beat into shape.

They should at least be up by the morning.

[rfg15]

I recently signed up with betislands, but found out thru their Live Chat that they only have a $1000 MAX on NFL,etc..

thats a Very Low limit to have, especiallly for bettors who like to bet $2,000 / 3,000 on occasion. This is the only thing keeping
me from depositing with you.
Jon, are you going to be raising the MAX anytime soon ?? thanks.

[darkhat]

BI is a solid book. Glad I signed up.
