Expect to see services collaring guys faster and that it will take even longer to get withdrawals that are over a dime. P2P will still be pretty fast for a while just because it is easy to push out $800 and advertise that you still do fast payouts. Last but not least you might see lower limits on propositions and or derivatives to minimize house exposure. Overall... just getting worse and some of the services that have been on shaky ground for a while are not going to make it. It is a bad sign when their employees or ex employees come on the forums and preach their collapse soon. Going to be a shake out in the next 90 days and we will see who is left standing for the next NFL season. Im surprised a book like youwager would be downsizing..with some of the other books going under i thought books like youwager would be adding a bunch of new players and would be expanding rather than downsizing. |

There was no fix on this total..it was bad fukking luck..i have had over 6k stolen from betislands when they closed with my money..and now dropped a dime on this total when i needed another point in the entire 4th quarter..terrible luck just continues..but im so tired of hearing people think there is a fix everytime something unusual happens.

There is a possibility of a bailout for betislands players..its being discussed at sportsbook review but there is no guarantee..just discussions at the moment it seems..we will see what happens.

Most people seem to think Bookmaker, Heritage, 5dimes, and Legends are pretty safe..but after having over 6k stolen from me from me i cant trust any of them anymore. You said you talked to the OG people..who is that? I cant imagine a scenario where we would get any of our money back but if you hear of one please let me know. |

It's over Phantom..take the loss and move on..you have a better chance of winning the lottery than you of getting paid by BI. They got me for more than 6k but not a thing we can do about it. |

Hope you guys get paid I really think we are at the point where we can no longer use the word "trust" in association with offshore betting. |

I pleaded with these guys for a week or two now to come clean if stuff is going bad there that alot of bad signs lately, and they have always been honestly good people there and told me everything is fine it is all about processor. I cannot believe this, will try again in the AM and pray I get this money, I cannot take this stuff anymore, so hard to win a bet and get ahead then this worry. I give up. [/Quote I feel you phantom flag..i have been getting my behind kicked the whol year until recently i went on a big run to get about 70% of it back..orso i thought..now it appears im not getting anything..tough pill to swallow. |

They are not paying..they lie to people constantly, we are being told by the staff at SBR that the general manager Jon Kreta is no longer with bet islands..all of the warning signs were there. |

uwgolfer, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but i wouldn't count on that check coming this week..i dont know if you have been following the situation over at sportsbookreview but nobody is getting the money today as they were promised..its more of the same stories, delays..they are waiting for the processor.

Are you sure Mac? i dont think so..if his address on his betting account is Michigan than im sure they sent it to Michigan..im pretty sure he will have to pick up the money in Michigan.

There is a good chance im going to be going to Northern Ireland for a couple months..i will have access to betting shops and any offshore book i choose..cant wait! I wish i could put bets in for people and charge a small fee but thats not possible i guess..first of all they have no reason to trust me with their money and secondly i dont want to get arrested for putting in bets for people for a few extra bucks...i know for sure i will enjoy walking in to the betting shop placing my bets hassle free.

It's to the point now where it's more trouble than it's worth for me..it's hard enough to win and get in position to get a payout..then when you do win you have to fight to get your money..it's not worth it anymore. |

I hope they get all this straightened out soon..im to the point now where i dont believe this issue they are having is processor related..there have just been too many lies. I hope im wrong though. |
