    Bet Islands and Cold Calling
    So the other day I signed up for the SBR contest that is sponsored by Bet Islands.

    Today I got a cold call from Jim with the standard low life bs about their book.

    I now they're rated highly by many and I was thinking about joining to add them to the mix of 5Dimes, Heritage, Legends and Bovada but..

    Ahhh yes the but...

    But Bet Islands YOU have NO shot at getting me because of the freaking phone call!

        I've received about 50 phone calls from them. Literally. I signed up there and never deposited...they must've left me 20 messages over the last 4 months.

              Did you give them a call or drop them a line to tell them to stop calling? I don't think these guys are like YouWager or some of these no-means-yes books that have been around. They just paid a lot to get your number and want one conversation in case you've got the itch.

              If you've told them to stop calling and that somehow falls through the cracks then I'm with you a hundred percent. But if they just want that one successful contact in return for having funded contests it doesn't seem out of line.

                I deposited quite a few times with them, but have gone a few weeks with nothing in my account. Never received one call, have nothing bad to say about them.

                  If you don't want a call, just tell them. A lot of guys like to get a call with the latest offer. And Jim is a great, respectful guy.

                    I just made my boy sign up today. I don't have an account yet, but from what I've seen since I got him to make the account, I like it. I'll have an account by tomorrow. I talked to Jim already today. He told me when I call, he'll be the one to answer and he'll take care of any issues. I don't expect any issues, however. I'm confident that I'll have a positive experience with this book.

                      If you ask to be taken off the call list they will.They were calling when I was up which I found strange but Jim was respectful when I said I would call them if I needed to reup.

                        If you are still using Bodava over BI time to reevaluate, just due to withdrawal time alone. Asked them not to call me at BI, haven't gotten a call since!!!! Great out to have!!!

                          My friend signed up with them & wanted the bonus they were advertising.When they changed the rules/plicy he told them he wasn't in terested in depositing.He basically said I'll deposit & you can call when the bonus discussed would be implemented.They continue to call without changing the bonus.Not good

                                  if you don't like getting called ask them to stop. i'm pretty sure they will.

                                  some of like the calls as it reminds us of a good bonus every now and then.

                                    99.9% sure they dont, unless they added mma parlays in the last few weeks.

                                          OMG OMG I opened an account online and someone from that company called me. The horror. It must have been comparable with a day someone in Syria is experiencing. What a drama queen. Politely tell the person to put you on the do not call list. 3 to 5 seconds and issue resolved. It's called being a decent human being.

                                                Betislands is the best. Your lucky they're calling you. You should dump your other books and play there.

                                                  I play there and they are ok.I wouldn't think of dumping my established outs just for them,that would be stupid as they don't offer enough.Play at one book and eventually you're toast.

                                                    Everyone says this here, dont understand why everyone sucks them off so hard. They are fine, but they arent the best

                                                      I just got 110% bonus . I am a long term player , so i can't go wrong .
                                                      With such a great offer/s they can call me 24/7 .
                                                      Cash in hand same or the next day BI checks do not bounce
                                                      So no run arounds been payed .
                                                      The lines on soccer are better then the most of the A/A+ books have to offer.
                                                      When it comes to soccer ,surly they beat DSI, Legends, Bodog and Bookmaker

                                                      Cheers GL.

                                                      PS . The only downside that i can find with BI , they don't offer

                                                      England League 1
                                                      England League 2
                                                      England Conference

                                                      Kind of strange . English soccer gets the most action/wagers ( we are talking about domestic leagues) But for what ever reason they don't offer them , so i have to take my action with other books .

                                                        One of the best outs.. When betonline is taking 30 days these guys are dispatching payments in 3 and same day payouts , great bonuses , awesome service and the guy running it is an all star tell me how this is not a winning combo ?

                                                        Good job betislands
