still haven't seen where 1 person has confirmed this. I just tried to make a wager on cbb for tomorrow and nothing. Is there a limt (though it was $500) or something?

Biggest con around. By the time you get the half point on the phone you could get as good or better number some where else on-line.

You have to call them to get them to activate the free half for hoops even if you have it for foots. once activated, it should always appear (well, on fridays at least)

I will pass this question along to Mike and see if he can clear this up...he's probably not in right now though.

It appears you have to ask for the free half point firdays to be activated.

Once done, you have it. I have it now after I talekd to live help.

thanks. I was just wondering as I still haven't heard if anyone has used them for hoops. Wanted to know if it has started yet?

these don't work for Saturday, correct? Unless you bet a Saturday game on Friday nite. Sorry about all the confusion, I just want to make sure to get this straight.

I got it on an NBA game for Fri, got it it last week also. I assume it ends at midnite Eastern ( for hoops).

You have to make the bet on Friday (by midnight PST). So if you can hit the Saturday overnights, then yes: you can use them on Saturday games.

yeah but skybook is dogshit. they don't post their lines until maybe 2-3 hours before Friday's end. Eliminates CBB plays for Saturday (which im guessing is what most posters hope to get the advantage on).
Continually questionining why i have $$ in this book. I'm a smalltimer but seems to me there's no reason to ever have $ in this book unless it's for CFB to get off the 4, 10, 13, 14, 17, 20, 21.

It appears that the home of the free half point has become the home of the free half point occasionally.

Just move on - nothing to offer post football with their -110 lines.

I say a daily thanks to Skybook as I watch my 50 inch Panasonic plasma.

But once football is over, I don't see how it makes any sense to place a bet there. The odds you can find at Pinnacle and Matchbook/Mansion exchanges are always, always better.

The first week they offered the basketball half point, I didn't have it when I checked around noon. I contacted them via live chat and they said their IT dept was in the process of configuring accounts for the half point and it would be ready by the hour. I never did get the half point that day, but the following week, I had it.
