BetIslands New Software Better or Worse?

**AdamStock1983** · 04-16-12, 02:04 PM

Anyone get a gift yet?

**Fitz030808** · 04-16-12, 02:23 PM

I agree. The old software was fine. The new software was being a pain in the arse. My limits were changing on me daily and actually ended up costing me some money on an MLB bet. I wonder if this will allow the mobile site to function now? I guess time will tell.

**Fitz030808** · 04-16-12, 02:25 PM

Adam- not sure what gift John was referring to. Maybe just the giving us the old site back. A functioning site is a pretty decent gift

**ProfaneReality** · 04-16-12, 02:32 PM

1 great addition would be to add rolling if bets/ ability to place an if bet off of a pending wager

you can

just call them in

**dolson** · 04-16-12, 03:11 PM

The new site won't let me see my history at all, it keeps going to "Live Chat" because the history icon is under live chat

**MBENZ** · 04-16-12, 03:17 PM

Would like to see a continue option at the top of page if going back to the old.All that scrolling sucks when you're in a hurry.

Im hoping it's a substantial gift because it'll be the only thing I won this week.

Why would they give everyone a substantial gift? They adjusted their software in attempt to be better.

**BigDaddy** · 04-16-12, 04:32 PM

software is rounding all bets down

+165

bet 50 only pays 82

in the past it was rounded up to 83

not letting you put 3 teams in your FP parlays

The Following Error Occurred:

The max number of teams for a FreePlay is: 2

thanks

My Stanley Cup future bets have disappeared

**bobbywaves** · 04-16-12, 04:45 PM

We're back to the original site with some changes. One change to keep in mind is ALL bets dealing with cents will be rounded down against you, it used to be rounded off to the nearest $. So if u want to win $11, you will risk $13 instead of the normal $12.10. Not fair , but it is what it is. Just keep coins out of your risk & win amounts, as it's always against you now & will add up over time.

**taxer** · 04-16-12, 05:30 PM

Lol bobby learn how to gamble the bets round up both to your favor and against Jon has even stated before that if anyone really wants to cry over $1 or $2 he will credit it back.

Overall Bi is a great book , and they pay the fastest around

you are correct in the past it did

now it seems they all round down

no matter what.

maybe before you comment about someone actually placing bets

why don't you log in and see for yourself.

it takes about 10 seconds

**bobbywaves** · 04-16-12, 06:18 PM

Learn how to gamble the bets? Maybe you learn how to read. Not crying over a couple bucks, only advising to keep bet amounts whole. Nothing is in your favor now, as it's not rounded to the nearest buck anymore. I'm not disputing it's a gr8 book.

**ApricotSinner32** · 04-16-12, 06:26 PM

Not making any wagers until the new software is back up. Still showing the older software for me.

**mtneer1212** · 04-16-12, 08:55 PM

The rounding down sucks. Otherwise, all else looks ok!

And just like that................ the cents have been added.

**killawookie** · 04-16-12, 09:48 PM

Old (original) software was G.O.A.T

new software is/was

**BranchDavidian** · 04-16-12, 11:24 PM

It looks like overnight baseball lines got lost in the translation back to the original software.

**ApricotSinner32** · 04-17-12, 01:24 AM

New software was working fine for me before they performed maintenance now the old software is giving me problems.

**Speedy88** · 04-17-12, 01:55 AM

Looks like they are going back to the old software, I was kind of liking the new software, but oh well. Looks like more maintenance tonight. Still waiting on my wagers to get graded.

I like BetIslands, but all this maintenance at night is getting a bit tiresome when I'm trying to grab an early line and you can't even get past the menu.

**DudleyDawson** · 04-17-12, 07:25 AM

no MLB lines

**DudleyDawson** · 04-17-12, 07:26 AM

Betislands and Heritage definitely my favorite 2 books and it isn't close but this is kinda getting tiresome.

**Jnas** · 04-17-12, 07:44 AM

I see a field with bonus points. This may be interesting......

**BranchDavidian** · 04-17-12, 08:17 AM

No hockey lines this morning either. Nor NBA, maybe BetIslands is going back to offering only late lines?

not in the wagers though as they still round down.

**BranchDavidian** · 04-17-12, 08:39 AM

Yeah, I just called and asked, and it appears that no more overnight lines will be offered. Because of this, I hope they now go back to the "new" version --- again.

not even MLB? if this is true, I'm out.

**hydrosmak** · 04-17-12, 08:46 AM

Wow, if they are going to take this long to post lines I don't know how much longer I can stick with them. Finish my rollover and I am out.

**DudleyDawson** · 04-17-12, 08:56 AM

Me: no more overnight MLB lines?

Ben: no, we will post them in the morning.

**5mike5** · 04-17-12, 09:17 AM
