BetIslands downtime *UPDATE

**hydrosmak** · 05-10-12, 09:20 PM

Any official word from them Lou?

**GoHawks033** · 05-10-12, 09:23 PM

How are we supposed to call in a bet when they unplug the phones? Great

**dolson** · 05-10-12, 09:25 PM

This is getting real old , real fast!

**GoHawks033** · 05-10-12, 09:30 PM

Ya, withdrawing the funds first thing in the morning for sure. GL guys

**Tgordon777** · 05-10-12, 09:43 PM

domain no longer availible, might not even be able to get your funds

**Speedy88** · 05-10-12, 09:59 PM

What is going on here. Anyone try calling them lately?

Why am I getting the strange feeling that something really bad has happened to them.

I hope to God you are wrong. I have never withdrawn from them before and at the moment after my win today(I got a bet earlier in today before they went down) i have over $9000 in there.

**Ez Money 77** · 05-10-12, 10:09 PM

I don't want the calls on my phone bill so I'm not calling anymore. I did finally get through earlier on my 5th try and got a couple bets in but it was a little too late for some. I am kinda feeling funny about this too since Jon hasn't come to update us on what was going on. When I asked the CS that I was on the phone with when the site will be back he said "they are working on it." I said "right I understand that but do u have an idea as to when it will be fixed." He kinda laughed and said "Sir, we are working on it and don't have any idea a time" I said "Um, Okay thanks so much for all your help" He just hung up.

**Bengals28** · 05-10-12, 10:17 PM

Calm down, guys. They're working on it. Our funds are safe.

I'm guessing you're right. Honestly I have peanuts in there so it wouldn't be the end of the world. I am just pissed that I wasn't able to make my bets online and had to make 6 phone calls that will show up on my phone bill and the wife could see if she actually looked. She never has but would be my luck. Don't want to answer questions

**Bengals28** · 05-10-12, 10:27 PM

I me a deposit today normal as usual. I'm guessing these are serious hacking problems they're having.

**Ez Money 77** · 05-10-12, 10:52 PM

Back up and running boys. All is well for now.

**GoHawks033** · 05-10-12, 10:53 PM

Look at who's site is finally back up! About GD time!

**paco** · 05-10-12, 10:54 PM

Back up. Technical difficulties.

Called in bets, no problem.

Funds safe with Jon.

**vitalyo** · 05-10-12, 11:28 PM

Jon had to pull the plug.He had to run to W/U to lay off the action with 5dimes. The word is Tony wod"t give him credit . It"s very nice of some of guy to try to find an excuse for the book been down(dos attac, book been hacked).Tnx god it wasn't the terrorists . Cheers

**MBENZ** · 05-11-12, 04:46 AM

Feel sorry for the guys that have this place as an only out,said before all the latest problems that they are a 5th or 6th out.This reminds me of BetPhoenix,lines are up when nothings going on and lines are down when it's bet time.

**xstud** · 05-11-12, 04:48 AM

I just hate they are returning to the type of book that always annoyed me. The books that grade the last wagers of the day the following morning. So much for early Degen tennis. They used to grade the final games instantly.

**xstud** · 05-11-12, 05:00 AM

Anyone try to go to the following URL? http://dgs.betislands.ag/

I don't have a lot of money in Betislands but last night I was worried when they answered the phone M&M sports and now I see this URL which loads a site for M&M sports. Jon what's going on here?

That's hilarious

it is M@M site WTF . Now the book is back to .mx and it's working for now .
According to Jon " it is the books model " Remember when he f@@@ the players with overnights that he promised they would have back ? Then the douchebag comes out with " it is our model " statement not even an apology. So that could be the part of the books model that we don't know yet . So guys please stop complaining .
I hope it's all good and you get your money .

I took a screenshot , too many changes with this book , can't trust them .
You can clearly see betislands URL but the book is M@M .

**NardVa** · 05-11-12, 06:59 AM

I was about to deposit some money at this book, but the site for the last few days will not register an account for new players. It keeps saying try back later. Reading the threads about how this site disappears than reappears is concerning. That's a sign telling me to take my money elsewhere.

I was wondering the same thing when I called yesterday and the phone rep answered MM sports? I had to ask if it was Betislands.

**dark star** · 05-11-12, 07:41 AM

Being associated with M&M is not a bad thing.Solid book thats been around

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

Brian its cute how you like to pretend like you are one of the big kids, but let's not delude ourselves any further. You don't have a clue and your picks don't beat closing. Overnights have no value to you when the line is just as likely to move against you as it is to move with you. You already got ran out of other forums for being a joke, how long you gonna keep it up here?

Nah just the difference between being sharp and being a depositor. You're right....overnights have no value and that's why Betislands took them down....to protect their players.

**Fitz030808** · 05-11-12, 09:36 AM

I currently don't have any money in Betislands so I have no opinon on the matter. I would like to know why it's all of a sudden M&M Sports. Can SBR or another poster please clarify? If this is so, shouldn't this be on the wire?

**JJJ** · 05-11-12, 09:43 AM

No NBA lines yet I heard they are not offering any day time NBA lines to go along with there MLB overnight lines

**DudleyDawson** · 05-11-12, 09:59 AM

my god..........somebody needs to get on live chat and tell them there's an NBA game tonight.

**DudleyDawson** · 05-11-12, 10:06 AM

Please wait for a site operator to respond. You are now chatting with 'Amy'
Amy: Hello, how may I assist you today?
Me: You've got no NBA lines up....what's going on?

Amy: let me check

Me: still there

Me: ?

**DudleyDawson** · 05-11-12, 10:07 AM

Reminds me of BetPhoenix chat in the old days....waiting for 7 minutes now.

**DudleyDawson** · 05-11-12, 10:11 AM

Never got an answer from live support so I just hung up. Too many issues with this book to be depositing.

**JJJ** · 05-11-12, 10:12 AM

its up now nba line is up i guess they just needed a reminder

**xstud** · 05-11-12, 10:20 AM

A lot of things are slipping. When I first deposited a year ago they had lines for everything even jap baseball. Tickets were graded within sometimes minutes of a match ending. At the end of the night the popular sports were all graded. Now, it's like you have to remind them if you want some items graded (tennis). I have had to go into live chat numerous times to have them enable parlays for tennis. The limits overnight change constantly. Last month it was max 200 for tennis then I tried a parlay last night and it was max 100.

I understand a book wanting to grow and get better, but the book I signed up with a year ago and played with for the better part of a year has not gotten better. If it aint broke don't fix it.

Now with this whole M&M sports thing?!??!!? Did you sell the book Jon? Take on a new partner? What is the association with a D rated book?

Not trying to grill you, but as a loyal customer I want to know how secure my money is and where the book is headed. I don't want to be standing on the tracks if I am about to get hit by a betphoenix type train.

**robmpink** · 05-11-12, 04:59 PM

gee whiz

**LostBankroll** · 05-11-12, 05:02 PM

I agree site has gone for shit. I would go into detail but today has been by far the worst day with BI. I must say tho Nick is taking care of me for the time being...
