I like them... While over the past few years they have shaded that half point more and more and offered a half-point worse on a line, just with higher juice -- causing the halfpoint to be worthless -- you can still get a few games a week a half-point better than anywhere else.

IF you play the NHL
AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS
they DO NOT offer a -1.5/+1.5 puck line on games which means they can't ever be considered an A-#1 book - like Legendz/The Pig
they are good in many areas - just not hockey - so if you are NOT a "Mother Pucker" - they are worth a look

They have been in business for a while.
Decent operation, they are not scammers.
Regarding payouts, I don?t know much about them...
But if you are looking for fast payouts..
Bet365, SBG Global, BoDog or Pinnacle

how does the 1/2 point work?
What ever side you wager on, you get a free 1/2 point?

They were one of the first I signed with, along with betjamaica.
I'm just a small timer but I like them.
I started with 4 and still have them, never opened up any new ones when offered " Big bonuses and almost unbelieveable specials "... considering all that's going on, I'm glad I'm a small timer

Re: Skybook opinions please.......good, bad, not worth having?
Their lines are sharp in my opinion. You have to do quite a bit of lines watching to find the few occasions where their half point is important. Usually they shade the juice so that the half point is either too expensive or available for the same or less in some reduced juice shop. All in all though they are dependable with very good customer service. Their bonus plan is very good as long as you are a loser there and have no makeup.

Re: Skybook opinions please.......good, bad, not worth having?
I find their half point really useful, especially on and off of 4, 10, and 6 (in that order).
They offer great freeplay bonuses (sometimes only for existing customers), so it would at least be worth it to open an account, even if you don't put in any money.
However, once you put your money in, I wouldn't plan on getting it out for awhile. $15 is a steep fee to withdraw. I put money in there knowing I won't plan on getting it out until most of the football season is done. However, that being said, it makes it easier to take a bonus, knowing that I'll be playing there and not moving around anyway, so I may as well accept the bonus.
Customer service is top notch. Just absolutely incredible people there. They'll treat you right. And I mean that. Second place is miles behind Skybook in terms of customer service. So problem resolving usually isn't an issue.
I like them as an out. Most of my bets fall within their free half point restrictions (if your average bet is greater than $500, then skybook really isn't the book for you). I like them and would recommend them.

Re: Skybook opinions please.......good, bad, not worth having?
Skybook is probably my fav book right now. It seems i'm winning more there then any other book. The only issue I had was they limit NT withdraws to 2500$ Not a big deal, but thats the only drawback I had with them. BTW, MAKE SURE YOU READ THE RULES ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF YOUR DEPOSIT AND THE 1/2.

Re: Skybook opinions please.......good, bad, not worth having?
I noticed this weekend, their lines seemed less set against the free half point.
In the past, I have noticed whenever a line is 6 or 6.5, it is 6.5 so you can't get the 5.5 or 7. (Since 7 is banned).
This week, I used them a lot for lines of 2, 6, 9.5, etc. Was surprised.

Re: Skybook opinions please.......good, bad, not worth having?
my comfort list:
<O></O>
In tiers:
<O></O>
Tier one ? Could care less how much at any of these.
Bet365
Betcris/2betdsi/betmaker
Betfair
BetJM/Thegreek
Bodog (deal dual lines)
Ladbrokes
Pinnacle
VIP (These guys will cut you off for winning, but pay) ? many clones
WSEX
WWTS ? many clones
5dimes
Bowmans
Legendz/Dimeplayer/Thepig
Canbet
Cascade
Skybook
Victor C handler
ABCIslands/Jazz
Grande
Carib/SOS
Mansion
<O></O>
Tier two ? comfy with up to about $5000-10000 at these. Beyond that you may see some slow pays, account audits, etc.
<O></O>
Youwager
Heritage
Wagerweb ? many clones
Sportbet/Islandcasino
7Palms/Bookmaker/Goldmedal
Guardian, Tradewinds- Clones
Betbbb
Trojan
LasPalmas
Horizon
BetMania
<O></O>
Tier 3 ? Will be ok at under $3000. More than that and they will slow pay, audit, etc.
Wagerstreet
Bestlinesports
Sportsbook, Sportsbetting, Gambling.net, Linesmaker, etc ? about 100 clones
Sportsinteraction
Betplatinum
Betprestige
<O></O>
Tier 4 ? Fine for the small player ? not outright F shops. If you want to play with a few $100 dollars, no problem. Don?t win 4+ figures? Have stiffed big players in the past. Often recall bonus, change contests, etc. May take days to weeks for payouts
<O></O>
Betus
Royal
SBG
BOS
<O></O>
<O> I can not imagine having more than 5% of my money in anything but the top 2 tiers. I basically will take on one crap book at a time when the offer is ripe enough and worth the calculated risk and headache.</O>
