    BetIslands downtime *UPDATE
    UPDATE: BetIslands has been encountering a series of DDOS attacks; an attack that overloads the site's servers by sending a flood of messages. Sites like Yahoo, even federal govt sites have been the target of such attacks; and just about every sportsbook that was successful enough to make itself a target.

    Management tells SBR they're bringing in a team of specialists to work with their IT department to put a stop to the downtime.

    ___________________________________

    BetIslands is currently having server trouble. Management confirmed the downtime. We'll update as the book comes back online.

                                Betislands just lost a lot of money not being able to put up that Lakers 2H line. Everyone was all over LA -6 2H. Their loss.

                                  Still don't hang overnights for MLB as promised before the software debacle happened. I have been very disappointed in what is going on there with the software. They changed the site but rather than stick to their new interface they balked because people complained. Are they happy with the site now? Again no MLB overnights, no cents feature and the site is having issues or being tweaked daily. Hope everyone is happy now! They have taken a step back IMO

                                    so many people bitching so much about so little

                                    go play at bet online or or bovada or 5dimes, try calling customer service or making a payout. good luck.

                                      Why can't a sportsbook have good customer service and good functionality?

                                      People just thought bet islands would have both eventually. Maybe they will, it is just taking a long time. Site has been down for a while.

                                          At least they round all odds to their advantage... (WTF)

                                            Not true anymore. Rounding is to the nearest dollar regardless of whose advantage it is.

                                                  The rounding is a joke. This book went from solid to overrated in no time.

                                                    What sucks is i hope this is nothing more then the server being down because i have a large amount of cash in there.

                                                            how pathetically small is your bankroll that rounding to the nearest dollar is having such an impact on your profitability?

                                                              What does it matter what my bankroll is? It is the principle not the money. Also being too scared to throw MLB overnights is a joke.

                                                                It's the principle, jackass. Name another book that steals money from smaller players by "rounding" $15.90 to $15.00 whenever it increases the book's profit. What, Jon can't afford another Commodore 64 to crunch 2 decimal places?
