Need Advice on Betislands

The limits are back to normal. Just want to let everyone know. I found it strange to have limits of $200 on baseball. It was part of the glitch.

**GamblerSpirit** · 04-11-12, 04:42 PM

500 limit, not being able to parlay props with the game lines...but great customer service! B+!

**Betislands** · 04-11-12, 04:53 PM

Gambler,

The $500 limit will be overnight , during day its $1k to $2k on sides and totals.

Parlays on props are an option for the future , for the moment you can do mixed sports including MMA , Tennis etc

Cheers!

That day can't come here soon enough. That's all you guys lack IMO.

P.S. In the future, please also consider grading 1H wagers BEFORE the 2H begins... This doesn't seem to be a problem when it's a losing wager, but if it's a winner, you delay the grading as in to protect yourself from further losses on that particular game.

Just something to consider, because it smells of amateurism on your part.

Gambler,

We just moved into our own wagering facility 2 days ago , so some kinks are still being ironed out we have expanded our wagering cart and limits.

I apologize about the grade issue I will let the guys in stage know about this.

Cheers!

Racebook seemed to run smoothly for the couple tracks up, a few post times out of sync but nothing major. Look forward to a full slate of tracks up!

I have a gripe with the new software. I guess I'll post it here. Its kinda confusing to have the 1st period NHL bets so close to the regular game lines. I could see how someone could make a mistake and bet the wrong line. Same thing with baseball actually with the 5inning bets I theoretically accidently played the royals 1st five instead of full game and they both lost so it didn't matter but anyway I digress...............

Very nice book with great customer service! Thank you betislands!

Thanks, but I think the question is pretty simple. Has your book ever and/or does it ever intend to: move lines on certain players before the bet has been confirmed? That is, rather than limit or boot the player, do you allow him to keep playing and pre-emptively move widely available numbers against him before accepting the bet, effectively dealing him a different line set that the rest of your customers?

I'm aware that this practice, if it exists at all, is not used widely. But if is exists at all (i.e., this is how you deal with big winners), this fact is worth knowing, as I don't think many people would want to play at a book that engages in this practice at all -- whether it's 5 accounts or 500 accounts.

Jon,

Is my question not worth answering? Or are we to assume by your silence that the answer is yes?

No they usually move .05 cents against me.

They move the line for everybody but as soon as I bet the opposite side they move the line back to where it was before. Basically no matter what I want to bet they move the line .05 cents.

I have no problem with a book checking to see if their line is correct before allowing a wager but to move the line both ways on the same gams is flat out crooked.

Why don't you file a complaint with SBR, so we can get to the bottom of this once and for all?

That, or I find it slightly odd that someone accuses a book of dealing dual lines, and the book refuses to respond. Telling, IMO. Justin has in the past done full videos exposing books dealing dual lines, yet no one at SBR seems to care that Betislands has been accused of doing so and refuses to deny it? Please enlighten me as what is going on.

**wtt0315** · 04-13-12, 08:30 AM

If they move a line, you dont have to bet it, it gives you the option to cancel. Just click cancel. If you don't like it then heritage or 5 dimes is there.

**Betislands** · 04-13-12, 09:12 AM

Hi Evo,

It seems to me that you are not a fan of Betislands , something I respect as everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But accusing of dealing dual lines is a bit harsh if that would be the case it would have been posted a long time ago. Books have issues no book is perfect is how you handle them that matters I PMed SHARPCAT to send me his account number and we can take a look at what happened.

We used to outsource our wagering department and now that we moved into our own facility things will only get better , but at the end of the day we are one of the fastest paying books offshore right now for US players , great cs and good bonuses I make sure everyone gets a fair shake at Betislands and I think if you do enough research you will see it for yourself.

Justin7 and SBR are more than welcome to monitor our lines at any time.

Have a good day !

Cheers!

Jon

Hi Jon, it has now been a week so I'm curious if you took a look at Sharpcat's account. If so, were you able to identify the issue? Thanks.

**Betislands** · 04-21-12, 10:50 AM

Hey Jon, I shot you pm and e-mail. Balla, you got to try them. I did in March 2011 and never thought I'd still be using them today as my main book. Everything is first class.

As always a quick response!
