Introducing IIS

International Island Sportsbook, partially owned by Rio International, is well backed, and is offering something unheard of today- 7% Juice. That's right 7% juice, something that is sure to save the average bettor thousands and thousands each year in commissions. IIS is certain to cause quite a stir in the industry.

"7% Juice, All Day...Everyday"

Your slogan sounds like AT&T's : "7 cents a minute, All Day...Everyday"

Is IIS owned by RIO? Does RIO stand behind this them?

[Rio Online]

Rio owns 25% of IISportsbook.com

[AussieVamp2]

IIS?

Is this one run on a Microsoft platform?

[Rio Online]

In case anyone wonders why, IIS is also the abbreviation for the Microsoft Internet Information Server.

Sure hope the initials will help the search engine ranking tho...

IIS, Do you use a dime line or 14c line for bases?

[mls]

I am curious as to why you think a 7% juice line will work.

Majestic used an 8% juice line and rumors were that they would have gone under but for the Island/CRIS buyout.

Then we have the 5% fiasco at Sports Action.

Don't get me wrong, I love to see lower juice. I am just curious as to why you think IIS can succeed were others have not.

Mls,

Might work if they don't let smart guys like you in? You'll have to wait and see their policy I guess. Which sports, as well - does that make baseball and soccer 7%?

The name can't hurt the rankings I think

[underdog]

Will you be offering sign up bonuses? What are your baseball lines? 10 cent?

[reno]

Rio, in my estimation, is easily the least of the 10-cent Don Best books. I've had them only accept 2 dimes on sides bets from me when I've asked for 3. And bets in the 2-dime to 3-dime range have to be approved by a supervisor. Instead of increasing their limits, like Del Mar has done, they've lowered them. I remember betting 4 or 5 dimes on games last season until they got gun-shy late in the season. At this time, I would not classify them as a big-time sportsbook.

MLS,
BEING I'VE POSTED ONCE,I MIGHT AS WELL POST TWICE.

IT ONLY HAS A CHANCE TO WORK IF IT'S INTERNET ONLY,NO PHONE...

WHY?

SIMPLE.

YOU HAVE A FIXED COST ON THE NET.

YOUR OVERHEAD TO SERVICE THE WORK IS GREATLY REDUCED BY ELIMINATING THE COST OF OPERATORS TO SERVICE THE WORK AND COST OF 800 SERVICE,TO SERVICE THE WORK.

I WOULDN'T RECCOMEND .07 JUICE TO ANYONE.

TO ANYONE CONSIDERING IT, I WOULD STRONGLY RECCOMEND THIS FROM FRIDAY A.M.ON,AFTER THE NUMBERS HAVE SOLIDIFIED.

I DEALT .05 IN THE NFL FROM 7:00 A.M. TO 11:00 A.M. SUNDAYS ONLY, AND WROTE A TON.

AFTER 11:00 A.M. YOU CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE RUNDOWNS WILL BURY YOUR PHONES.

I will speak with Dave from Rio about this book and there affiliation tommorow. MLS's question is a very important one.If they go south is Rio only going to be held liable for 25% of my $.Though I would have to think Rio would not get involved (and risk there own great name) if they were not well backed. If it is run like Rio they are in it for the long haul and will be very successful.

Well even though I do not doubt what Reno says I myself have called in a few 2 dime bets this week and one three dime bet last week and they never even had to get approval so maybe they have since changed there limits. Or maybe they have beaten me up so bad since baseball they are letting me put larger bets in.
