BetIslands.......First time attempted cashout!

**Courtesywipe** · 06-01-12, 08:33 AM

I have been trying for over 30 minutes and No Live Chat or No phone calls answered. I do not yet have that "empty" feeling in my stomach like I wont get paid...... As I see too many good things about this book to get antzy like I would a lesser book.

I joined BetIslands last month because all of the wonderful things I hear from all you guys. Today I will attempt to make my first cashout and I am excited to see if this "same day payout" really works?

So far no success. The website states that Live Chat and all departments open at 9am est. I am unable to get on live chat as they are not available yet. And the phone number nobody answers. Is this normal guys?

The reason I went to BetIslands was for fast payouts and because I like the "Jon" guy who represents BetIslands on the forum.

Is there a reason why live chat is not working or not answering phone calls??

Thanks for the input fellas.

They've always answered the phones at 9 AM EST, give or take a few minutes.

Not today man. And I was hoping my first payout at this book was going to be smooth

**robmpink** · 06-01-12, 08:36 AM

shows live help is there.

**Courtesywipe** · 06-01-12, 08:49 AM

Just got thru to rep Ashley. Sounded like the nicest sportsbook rep I have ever talk too. And she sounded "HOT".

Basically my first experience is going "smooth" so far. Just requested max payout thru P2P and Ashley says she will call me back on my cell phone as soon as the money is ready. WoW. Hard to believe its so fast. I will most likely remain with BetIslands for the rest of my betting years.

I've received them in 10 or 20 minutes sometimes. The majority no, but it is still insane to get it that quick sometimes.

Are you kidding me ..........so let me get this straight they are a little late in getting in today and you mention about an empty stomach. Are you just a low IQ guy or just plain a douchebag or just psycho......seriously get a grip. I have cashed out over 15,000 from that place ...seriously.

The household that you were raised in must not have been full of love? Being such a nasty person will not get you very far in life...trust me. I was simply stating that this was my very first payout with this shop and I wasnt sure what to expect.

I like the fact that you had to promote yourself and let the whole forum know how much money you cashed out. Do you feel better now that you displayed facts about you? Do you like to talk about yourself? You must be a real winner!

If you would take a min and read the entire thread you would see that I was NOT worried as I called it a reputable book. Pay attention.

**MagicDiceFlow** · 06-01-12, 10:55 AM

For you to post and mentioning "antzy" means you were worried. Every other normal person can wait 30 minutes before even posting. Doesnt matter what you said afterwards, the damage was done with your first post.

You are still reading it wrong my man. It says I do not feel antzy with bi like I would a lesser book. Jeez

**MagicDiceFlow** · 06-01-12, 11:30 AM

Well regardless of what happens, BI will deliver on their promise. I had a few hundred coming back to me on the monthly rebate losses. It was put into my account this morning without having to request or email them anything. Most other places make you request it.

**Betislands** · 06-01-12, 11:44 AM

Hi Courtesy,

Congratulations and if you need anything let me know.

Cheers!

Jon

**princecharles** · 06-01-12, 12:29 PM

Congrats Courtesy,
It's a great feeling, right?
Enjoy the moment, and learn not just from your mistakes, but also from your successful decisions, like playing at a safe and reliable shop.
You may have paid a few cents more juice here and there, but Im sure it's more than worth it to be making this post, instead of one of many payout nightmare stories.

Now buy yourself something tangible that you'll enjoy every day, to always remind yourself how great it feels to make smart decisions! :-)

You've got to be the biggest douche' I've ever seen on here...are you naturally bitter or something?

**Courtesywipe** · 06-01-12, 05:12 PM

Update. My first ever P2P cashout. Requested at 0930 and picked up cash at 1700. I love this new way of being paid. Im an old school kind of guy where I would always wait for weeks/months for paper checks. Im a fan for life now. BetIslands will be my new favorite book and I will be sure to get all my buddys on board. Thanks BI

**Rollins08** · 06-01-12, 06:24 PM

I don't see whats wrong with his post. I've withdrawn probably 40 to 50 times over the past 10 years at different books. I still get antsy every time. You have no idea what there gonna come up with at the counter when you go to collect. It looks suspicious to a normal person working the counter. Betislands is the top book i've ever used in terms of payouts.

**hougigo** · 06-01-12, 10:43 PM

So far this is the best book i've heard from you guys on here from multiple people. I'll give you guys a look see!

Now that I am a fan of same day payouts and believe that I will for now on entirely play at shops that offer same day payouts, my question is...........Are there other books our there that offer same day payouts via P2P or is it just BI that offers it?

**chopperocker** · 06-02-12, 12:41 AM

i thought i would make an attempt at reading your thread, but then i started to get a little antzy and nervous at the thought of a possible page 2.

**SBRMAN23** · 06-02-12, 12:59 AM

Lmao

**chopperocker** · 06-02-12, 01:07 AM

call the newspaper. headline "the posters are getting antsy"

Thanks for the info

**Strider** · 06-02-12, 01:47 PM

BI has been solid for me. I have never had an issue using them.

**Khiaao** · 06-02-12, 03:04 PM

I will be using them for the first time next week ( Belmont Stakes ) instead of my previous (Bovada) .. Due to the fast payouts BI has

**princecharles** · 06-02-12, 03:36 PM

To the 'haters' of this thread:
Just as an experiment, imagine for a moment you're back years ago, long before the big divorce and the health problems.
Ok, now remember when you were so 'foolish' as to think life held promise for happiness, and you LOVED this gambling thing, even when you lost
You were both nervous and excited dealing with that sketchy bookie a friend of a friend hooked you up with.

Now that in many ways is where this Courtesywipe kid is.
Be happy for hIm, and I promise you'll have less nightmares tonight while you sleep.
In fact you may even dream of good feelings you had with the first wife (before she gained all that weight).
Let me know, I'm rooting for you.

Why is BI a B book?

**jazzyj7** · 06-02-12, 04:06 PM

I think because it's still somewhat of a new book. no live betting, no overnight lines, and no moneylines on certain points spreads are the only negatives I could come up with. If bovada and betonline are B books, betislands should be A+++. I'd like to know how the rating guide works as well. Not knocking SBR by the way, just have a dif. rating for like 4 or 5 books.

**evo34** · 06-02-12, 09:59 PM

Simply bc they are so new. As to why they should be rated no higher:

1) Dealing dual lines and refusing to admit to it.
2) "Rounding" small bets to the house advantage. It's not even mathematical rounding; it's raping (the same small clients they claim to be catering to). A loss of $11.10 will get "rounded" up to $12.00. Unless things have changed, an $11 bet at +170 listed odds will get paid out at +164. A $15 bet at -140 listed odds will get paid at -150. (I have not checked this in a few weeks, so no idea if it still operates this way, but it certainly did a month ago).
3) No book to book transfers.
4) No MLB overnights.
5) More technical problems in their first year than any high-rated book has ever had.
6) Apparent refusal to be listed on SBR Odds.

Enjoy.
