Question about Sportsbooks

jcambert · Feb 25, 2004

Guys, I play at all the top, reputable books like Pinny, Olympic, WWTS, WSEX, etc. However, I'm looking for TWO things in different types of books, in trying to gain another edge.

1) I'm looking for the most reputable books offering a free 1/2 point. Preferablly each day, as opposed to some books which offer the free half point only one day per week. Again, I know that alot of books offer these, however, I'm looking only for hte most reputable/safest books offering them.

2) I'm looking for reputable books who's lines sometimes don't coincide with the Don Best Screen and all the other books. Problem with the books that I play at is that it is difficult to consistently find a better line. I hear that Bodog is sometimes a bit off with their lines. Does anyone know of any other REPUTABLE books who's lines are sometimes off a bit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Skybook is the home of the free half point. Casablanca also has it as a perk after you've played there for a month. Both are good books.

RIO/SKYBOOK will offer you a free half point on any game up to $500.

Very reputable with a long standing record of quality customer service, no slow-pays, and decent value on lines at times.

And, does Skybook offer the free half point every single day? Basketball AND Football? and, what types of baseball lines do they offer? Dime lines?

Just in the past 5 days I have 'won' three games instead of pushing by using the free 1/2 point at skybook...

Kings last night in NBA...Hawaii on Saturday was a push instead of a loss...& airforce on Saturday was a win instead of a push...

I dont know how they do it...yesterday Knicks @ Kings must have been a marquee matchup that was heavily bet...the number held strong at 8 most of the day & the game landed on 8 exactly...how they can afford to pay both sides in these cases is beyond me...unless of course they have tremendous volume...

SS, that's precisely what worries me and, it's the very reason that I want to make sure that this book is ULTRA stable. I don't want them going down and taking part of my bankroll with them.

Any thoughts from anyone else on how stable they are, and how they can afford to get middled this way?

JC, they came on these boards the other day & responded to this question...I think the title of the threead was IIS sportsbook...or Question about IIS...

Thanks, man, just found and read the thread. Now, is IISportsbook and Skybook owned by the same parent company/book? From the tone of the thread, this is what I took from it. Please advise.
