I am current player and website is up. But how would they know if you are current player or not?? I mean, what if you use your friend's computer or library computer to log in?? they don't know if you are current player or not unless you use your own computer.

Overnight lines are extremely important to people who know what they're doing and want to win....AKA beating the closer consistently....books don't want winners. You do the math. Book wants squares

If you don't see the huge value of overnights in MLB.... then you really have no business betting on sports.

Betting overnight lines is crucial to anyone who has a clue... If I did have $$ at Bet Islands, I wouldn't anymore.

I got really lucky -i got my bet in Just minutes before it went down.

HedgeHog · 05-10-12, 04:48 PM

Will BI be reappearing on SBR lines anytime soon?

robmpink · 05-10-12, 04:59 PM

Down but try calling

Dark Horse · 05-10-12, 05:01 PM

How can an ag site and a backup mx site be down simultaneously?

JJJ · 05-10-12, 05:03 PM

just remember best customer service in the industry and fast payouts jon cheers

What good is that if u can make your bets

Speedy88 · 05-10-12, 05:05 PM

One of the most important thing i look for in a sportsbook is their reliability. Betislands is really pushing it now.....

robmpink · 05-10-12, 05:06 PM

Solar flares?

We're waiting on a different feed for BI or the one we currently have to be fixed. Until that happens we cant add them back to SBROdds because all of the lines are wrong.

The rebate promotion sounds great, but what good is it if you can't place a bet. It was down for nearly the entire night on Tuesday, and now it is down again.

I am being sarcastic

GoHawks033 · 05-10-12, 05:19 PM

Damn I need a NBA bet too, anyone call for updates? Did she give the usual "15 more minutes" answer?

The rebate program is only for losers. You have to lose your deposit to get the bonus.

Ez Money 77 · 05-10-12, 05:20 PM

I'm so pissed right now. I don't want to call to make my bets because I don't want the phone number on my phone bill I'm about to have np choice though. This is just bullshit. Whats the damn number?

theMARTY · 05-10-12, 05:33 PM

I'm livid

DudleyDawson · 05-10-12, 05:35 PM

My bets at Heritage have been in since late last night. There's more going on with BI than people are seeing, imo.

Agreed. Ever since the software upgrade from last month, the site has been up and down constantly. It's not like this is the first time. Tuesday it was down from about 5pm PST til I went to bed around 3am PST. Now it is down again? Something is going on.

Just my opinion, but it seems like they may be trying to move "forward" to fast, and are forgetting the core principles that made them a good sportsbook in the first place, reliability and good CS.

robmpink · 05-10-12, 06:06 PM

Yes, this really does suck donkey dik. Hopefully the plays I just in a haste win. Heritage was down for the basket ball tourny, there was an uproar. We moved on and everything is sunshine and lollipops. The same result will happen here.

DudleyDawson · 05-10-12, 06:07 PM

Nah, I've seen this before. I think they got buried. Gave away too many great bonuses and freebies. Just my opinion though. Shutting off overnight MLB lines.......is very telling. To their credit...they've paid me around 7k over the last 8 weeks or so, all P2P, WUUUUU's within a few hours.

The "paying fast" thing is getting old though....I mean I make a deposit and it pretty much instantly comes out of my account...so when you get it back just as fast, well that's what is supposed to happen.

Like in the NFL when a player sacks the QB and dances and celebrates for a couple minutes...it's like WTF, uh that's your job dummy!

Speedy88 · 05-10-12, 06:07 PM

I'm going to withdraw my whole account shortly. I'm going to Vegas in the beginning of June, so I'm just going to withdraw, take it there, and then when I get back I'll sign up with 5Dimes. Unacceptable from a sportsbook to be down this often. The first few times it was okay, but this is pushing it.

SBR Lou · 05-10-12, 06:44 PM

BetIslands is currently down again.
