Skybook no free half point for hoops!

larry571 · Oct 31, 2006

Just spoke to customer service and they no longer offer this. This place just has lost all value to me. I would like to see what others think. I dont plan on staying if this is the case.

Of course not skybook loves to play games!

Larry571, welcome to The Rx. I hope you enjoy the site.

The free half point promo is clearly written to include only football.

Skybook Free Half Point Promo..

wow, I would be suprised if they dont offer a 1/2 point for hoops....

although as wil mentions, it is mentioned Football only, in the rules

This is very sad news.

:cryingcry

If I remember correctly, didnt Skybook cancel their half point for a couple days then bring it back. Marketing?

last year they cancelled it, then there was an uproar, then they came back with a 300$ limit.

Thanks wilheilm,

I have been a customer of theirs for years and been very happy with the free half point for hoops. I deposited with the intentions of playing alot of hoops there. Their slogan is home of the free half pt. maybe they should amend that now to only free half pt for football if the number isnt 3 or 7. I dont think there is any value their now. I cant be alone. Very suprised by this.

Just re-upped with them a few weeks ago and asked this specific questions to the live help rep. She stated that the free 1/2 point would be offered for BBall. Still have the conversation saved on my computer!

W/o free half point, I am not going to wait on thier lines to come out. Too much value passes me by.

well

I was going to reup. Now will do so only if they offer .5 on basketball.

I think they will bring it back. It should be about break-even, at worst. Get a guy's money in there, then he'll bet other stuff like parlays, ml's, casino, etc, because his money is there.

jwblue · Oct 31, 2006

I hope they bring it back. I LOVE SKYBOOK!

I can understand them not wanting it for PLAYOFFS as they could open themselves up to HUGE MIDDLES, but for regular season I hope they offer it.

Even if they have to bring the limit down again to 200$

ElJefe · Oct 31, 2006

If true, this will make a lot of people not bet there.

They really are a useless book without the 1/2 point - they give the smallest bonus - didn't they do this last year and everyone started to pull out and then they decided to go with the 1/2 point.

Don't give them any ideas - they need the 1/2 point back like it was before.
