Skybook is getting a bad rap

I used Skybook for the last couple of years and it happened to me all the time.
I agree with the guys above. With a book like Pinny sometimes there's a line change but it can go in your favor. This never happens at Skybook.
Skybook offers less and less every year.
- Cannot use the free half point on totals any longer.
- Free half point in basketball now only good on Fridays.
- Greatly reduced props and limited Nascar offerings.
- No reload bonuses if you are a net winner.
Combine the above with their policy of changing the line on the confirm screen, and they will be a worthless out very soon.

the skybook group is a great book and a great offering to the industry.
great contests for years at the forums
they pay the bets they book and never a squable.
reduced juice at iisportsbook is great, often a better price than pinny
free 1/2 point was an industry innovation and might have led other books to get to reduced juice faster and things.
never a good prop shop so be it.
they are a top 5 book even compared to the good ones here at eog.

I was wondering what they were going to do with basketball this year. Only Fridays! That sucks. What a disappointment. Was planning on getting back in for basketball and now I probably wont. Skybook should seriously reconsider not offering the free half point on basktball full time.

BJ started it with me but I haven't made a bet there is a few weeks, so am not sure if it is going to continue or not.
When books are PROMOTING reduced juices and "free half points" then ANYTHING like this is totally unacceptible PERIOD.
When you look and see a number at -4 -104, and when you try to bet it is is suddenly -108, that is basically stealing that 4 cents. The reason most people play at hose places is BECAUSE they get the 104, NOT 108.
Total bullshit, but it is the new thing to do by these half assed places that are trying to screw people every way they can.

i have mixed views with them
i have been there along time , the book the bet they pay.
if you like to wager on horses , this is not the place to play. customer service is 2nd to none, the have great contest's next door but not here ???
if you are looking for the best bang for your buck this is not the place to play
i wish they would consider reduced juice at all 3 shops..

Yes, you select, if they do not want it, they change it. Not the way to do things, but something I deal with frequently. When the entire board is moving I can see that, but when I am lone ranger it is aggravating. Most of the time I figure somebody just beat me to it.

We think Skybook is really slipping lately. We have heard that the owners are tightning the noose to try and choke the little guys. We think they are looking at their total handle and trying to increase their hold by a point or two and are cutting corners. We will take our money elsewhere.
