skybook?

Frazier67 · Oct 31, 2005

i was planning on depositing soon at skybook to take advantage of their free half pt promotion for NBA and College hoops. Well, it looks like things have changed. i see where they only offer free half pts on fridays for NBA action and dont see anything on the site that says anything about college. I must say i am disappointed with this change and am wondering what other players thoughts are on this?

thank you for posting this as i was going to send them 1000 tommorrow. i went to live chat and asked about this:

Vicky Morrison: This is Vicky. How may I help you today?

you: hi vicky. i was thinking of opening an account and was wondering if skybook was offering the free half point for basketball this year. thank you

Vicky Morrison: The official terms of the free half point program for basketball have not been announced as of yet.

Vicky Morrison: I would recommend that you check with us tomorrow for final terms.

you: ok, ill check back then. thanks for your help. have a nice day

Vicky Morrison:

You too!

i would gladly sacrifice the bonus if they kept the free half point as there are too many shops out there dealing reduced juice or free half points on particular days to make skybook a viable out in the future in my estimation but i will wait and see.

maybe a good time to start listing other books with free half points whether there on certain days or times.

what is the special???? waiting for the nba?

THECLOSER · Nov 1, 2005

hope there is still the free point, or all the gusto is gone from skybook

LLXC13 · Nov 1, 2005

Yea, I would rather have the free 1/2 pt than a deposit promo.

royalfan · Nov 1, 2005

It is official. They lose a lot of luster. Fridays only.

SkybookOnline · Nov 1, 2005

The free half point program this Basketball season will be available for wagers placed on Fridays only. It is valid for college and professional basketball. The limit of your free half point program will vary depending on the amount of your deposit.

Someone change Skybook Online's tagline to "home of the free 1/2 point-on Fridays only". Vanilla book that now has nothing going for it. I bet the line gets long to get that free 1/2 point on college hoops on Fridays. Ivy and MAAC games get so much play.

Sounds kinda vaque !

Frazier67 · Nov 1, 2005

no matter how they spin this it is a step in the wrong direction. I liked the place and looked forward to this basketball season. Since the change i am not sure why a person would still play there. I am disappointed to say the least.

Fishhead · Nov 1, 2005

I like Skybook and look forward to receiving the free half points on FRIDAYS!

Geez...

Skybook's reign as a top tier book has just ended. Without the free half-point, I don't know anyone that would play there. Basketball lines don't even come out until the morning of. By that time, any value is gone, so even with the free half-point, they have little value. Without it, they have none.

steeser · Nov 1, 2005

I tend to agree that they lose most/all of their value now, as they have nothing else worthwile.

As far as limit for the half point in baskets...how does it apply to people who are already a part of the 1/2 point program?
