    Default Betislands- nice place to play

    Just wanted to throw them a thumbs up,went Pro here on SBR through them. Used the 100% sign up free play.


    CS great, seemed to be a bit understaffed at times but I may have caught them at rush hour 1st thing in the morning when their shop opened on a Saturday.

    They paid the fees on 200, 5d is at 250 to take care of the fees not sure on other books. Their offerings as far as events offered are behind 5d but ahead of Legends ( only 3 books I am currently playing at).

    2 days after being busted already got a call from them letting me know about the good reload offerings.

    Will continue playing here, just wanted to give betislands another good review here.

    Seem like a professional book, but ther $10 minimum wager is too high for rec players. Also heard that their racebook is subpar.

    Nice place to play the only thing that I dont like is the way they dont put up there college bb money lines till an hour or so before the game. Kind of makes it a pain in the ass if you like money line parlays.

    I'm there now. Good cs but not even close to 5dimes as far as lines and options. It gets frustrating...I wish they were better at getting lines up earlier and had more moneylines

    Yes the ML and CBB totals thing is rather annoying. Also not sure if i like the 1 ball played rule that betislands is using in tennis.

    After further thought and reviewing some of 5dimes bonus offerings rather than the reduced.I believe I will play at betislands when I have 200 flat to play with as they cover the fees on that. Anything 250+ or 100-199 I will use 5D, just too many options to pass up on. Of course legends when I only have 50 as they seem to be the only US book that will take 50.

    Still a nice out to have no doubt, but they have room to improve.

    I'm a big fan of betislands, as I've said before. I didn't realize 10 dollars is too high for rec players.. really? I am obv a rec but wouldn't consider ever betting less than 10 bucks. Just seems weird. And I'm not trying to act like I'm rich, 95 percent of the time I bet like 50 bucks.

    A professional book? A pro wouldn't waist his time on a $10 bet unless its for fun.

    It's a nice option to be able to put in whatever amount you want, especially if you are betting parlays. I am rec player who will wager $50/$100 a shot on straight plays at times. But I like to try and hit big parlays without risking much.

    When I wrote that it seemed like it was a professional book, I meant that the management operated the book in a professional way, not that it catered to the big hitters.
