Just opened account with Skybook and hate it!

[themajormt]

I just recently opened an account with Skybook as my third option. I made a nickel deposit and took the 50% freeplay bonus. Used **, and the promptly credited my account with the deposit and the bonus. That was the last GOOD thing I have experienced from them. I dont know if this software has become the norm, but I hate it! I accidentally keyed in the wrong team and asked for it to be cancelled and they refused. I also have been waiting for the NFL props and they are still not posted...

xxxx: I was told at 930am that the NFL propr would be posted within 30 minutes... It is now 120 minutes later, when will they be posted??
xxxx: props^
Rebecca: Please check back in about 10-15 minutes
xxxx: ok and also, I just realized I made a mistake on a wager
xxxx: I clicked on pittsburg -6 instead of baltimore +6
Rebecca: was the bet made online?
xxxx: can you change please? I am new to the site and still getting used to the software
xxxx: Yes it was
Rebecca: wagers placed over the internet can not be altered, sorry
xxxx: I am a new customer and it is my first time using the site, can you please check and see if this can be changed?
Rebecca: no it cannot Sir, Wagers made online are made by the customer, you are responsible of what you are doing online
xxxx: I understand that but mistakes do happen, the line has NOT changed so there should not be a problem
Rebecca: i am sorry Sir, does are the company policies

Is this policy standard? greek,5dimes,carib,betj have all made exceptions, ESPECIALLY with the line not moving...

Skybook sucks

Rookie book that never improved, horrrible management

Stick to the Greeks, Bookmaker and 5 Dimes that have everything up all the time and if you want 25% back on loses try rebatewager.

Get out now!!!! I would never ever play there.

[The General]

If I was heading CS, I would allow you to change it, esp a new customer and give you a free pass with notice of future expectations. But, that is just me. Game is hours away. Plenty of time.

[fiveteamer]

Did the line change?

ESpecially being a new customer, and $500 is not a small deposit, they should have helped you.

[purecarnagge]

People who wager on the wrong team for a game deserve what they get...you do have to CONFIRM THE WAGER! With that said call into CS its harder to deal with someone pissed off on the phone.

ps

if you went to skybook for props your dumb

[pokernut9999]

You have the winner in the Steelers so do not fret it was a good mistake.

Thanks for the great words of advise jack ass... It was a mistake as I said in my post. I am sure you have never made a mistake in your life because you are the man right? I did not go there for props, I went there as a 3rd out because the lines looked decent from what I have seen...

The line has NOT changed, not even the -105/-115 juice for the game. I learned my lesson and after this I will not repost with Skybook.

The best part will be if Steelers cover, I am not changing it just out of spite and hopefully it wins so what goes around comes around!

Mike Hertz: They are being worked on now, and will be up within the next 10-15 minutes.
xxxx: I need to know what they are before I can bet!

Skybook has pros and cons like everyone else. I would let you change the bet.

But since they didn't, if I was in your position, I would take responsibility for my rookie mistake and cover it off at one of my other outs and pay the vig as the cost of the lesson hopefully learned.

My experience with Skybook has been very good. I don't see how their software can be blamed for your mistake. First you click on the team you want. Looking at the NFL right now, it is great big rows and columns. You have to be pretty far off target to select the wrong team.

Then you have a confirmation screen like pretty much every other book. As I say, if I was CS I'd switch your bet for you, but the idea that there is a software issue in this complaint is pretty far-fetched.



Overall, I give thumbs up to Skybook. On the minus side, they need to expand their payout options. On the plus, they were terrific for MLB this past season and their free half point promo is good to have.

The one thing they do that annoys me is they deal a dual line. I have a friend with an account and he gets a different line from me. That's BS.

[themajormt]

Blue they definitely have NOT been posted for awhile... They were just posted within last 15-20 minutes which is terrible with a game starting at 330...

Dual lines don't bother me personally but I could list a few other complaints. I could list more pluses as well.

Pros and cons like pretty much every book.

I agree there's more pluses than negatives there.

Did they have a dime line for baseball last year?

[purecarnagge]

yup, dime and the half point. Still skybook is not a book known for posting lines in advance. There props are limited at best.

Your at the wrong book for what you want.

[themajormt]

Well at least Pitt covered!!!!

[Tsoprano]

Fukk skybook is right.

some people bet more than $5 a game. given your english skills, i wouldn't be making fun of others.

[j0hnnyv]

hhaha how the hell does someone enter the wrong team? does skybook make you type out who you want? makes no sense..

why didnt you just buy it back or bet bal +6 for DOUBLE!?@??@#??@#

if you went to skybook for props u didnt do your homework. I logged into 5dimes this morning and they literrally had hundreds of props for each game at like 8am. every single thing you could think of.

it took me 20 minutes just to read thru them all!!!

thumbs up for 5dimes

[Cloak & Dagger]

I woud of gone ape shit on Mikey boy if he would of said Easy there to me. Great customer service, not.

[purecarnagge]

skybook is a great out for helping get your total action above limits and using the free half point. But lets face it they are a spread/total type of book they offer regular lines, nothing fancy and they pay on time and they pay really fast no bullshit.

I made my rollover by .01 cent and they paid me no questions asked same day **/** back in the day. Great, book and they even had a great bonus promo for me when I first joined. 500 100% match. Was great.

I can appreciate nothing fancy and just being a solid book where I wont sweat payouts but what gets me is the initial customer service. It was literally my first play that I made, I was trying to get in multiples and made a mistake. Yes it was MY fault, which I said it was, but if I immediately catch it, AND the line has not moved I would expect a little courtesy as a new player.

I also dont like being told by 3 separate people that something will be done by a set time and it NOT be done. Yes, they make mistakes as well but then when the CS rep says "EASY THERE MR. XXXX" that is complete BS! It was 3 hours until kick off and props still arent posted? I will definitely choose a better 3rd option next time...

[TodaysAction]

If you are an adult and placed your action on-line AND confirmed it, you have nobody to blame but yourself. One does not need to "rush" through to get the listed line, just keep to task and READ YOUR TICKET AGAIN before confirming it. SKY is a very good option and have never had any problems or trouble with them. I can't say the same with some of the other books that are rated above them.

[mixpicks]

don't like either:
Can't buy pts on pars.
Rarly have M/L up
can't par m/l
online history, etc. Not Easy IMO
Site Needs Updating.
__________However,_______
They do pay out preety fast, that's Aways Good...
Yes, that "Free Point" things aways leads me to not bet the game, it just feels strange when a "book is giving me something for "Free" but, maybe it just me... BOL
